In order to achieve sparkling saddles, follow the steps below

1. Beg, blackmail or bribe children to clean gear
2. Use Joseph Lyddy saddle soap
3. Follow up with Joseph Lyddy Jay-el
4. Tell children they have done a great job, in the hope they do your bridles as well (please note: at time of posting, said bridles had not been done. This is a work in progress).

Forever grateful to Joseph Lyddy for making sure my gear looks πŸ‘Œ 😍

We are off Show Jumping tomorrow, with my favourite Orange pony 🍊, Jezzabelle πŸ•Ί and 3 of my 'kids' having their first go at Show Jumping (one of them cleaned my saddles for me today πŸ™).

Stick around for more great parenting tips πŸ‘Œ

Our Thoroughbreds are always welcome home, no matter the situation or how much time has passed.

Unfortunately, there is a bit of a stigma around returned horses. Sometimes horses don't settle in their new home, or sometimes it's just a change in the owners circumstances.

Dumbo was returned to us, due to a change in circumstances, and found a wonderful new home with Kathy, where he is living his best life.

"Greetings from Dumbo and I from O'Connell, NSW. Jade hooked me up with this gorgeous boy over 2.5 years ago now, and like she promised, he has always kept me safe. I still chuckle when I remember my first contact with Jade (when I was looking for a 15.3hh sized chestnut) for this aged rider with fear issues...and she recommended the 17hh bay called Dumbo! These days I need an extra high mounting block to get on him, but Dumbo stands like a legend for me to get aboard, and then lets me slide down his side to get off after each ride! I soooo love this special boy 🐴❀️"

I had a conversation with someone yesterday, a horse person. They asked me how many I had in work and I replied with β€œJust my good horse and a young one”, to which they replied β€œaren’t you only doing 1* on that horse?”.

What does it matter if we are jumping 5*, 1* or trot poles. If we are safe, and enjoying ourselves, at the end of the day that is the main thing. I don’t have any aspirations to make an Olympic team, or jump huge fences, I just want to ride my pony and have a good time.

A good horse can be one that takes you to the Olympics, or one that gets you back into riding after having a break. Everyone’s ’good horse’ is different. Let’s encourage each other, no matter what our good horse does.

Life’s hard enough, enjoy riding your pony, no matter what you do with them πŸ¦„

5 reasons why we love KP

πŸ¦„ KP was a legend on his first outing post racing
πŸ¦„ KP absolutely smashed his first ever XC school
πŸ¦„ KP loves to jump
πŸ¦„ KP is a nice person to have around
πŸ¦„ All of the above!

A massive thanks to the team at Feek Racing, and KP’s owners for helping to support him in his life after racing. We can see why he was a stable favourite, we love him (listen with sound on to hear it! Except Flick who was moaning about water in her eye πŸ˜…).

I have said it before, and I’ll say it louder for those who need more convincing . . . . KP NEEDS TO GO EVENTING!!!!!!

This photo has two absolute legends in it!

Frankie Fattum (of course) and Peyton πŸ‘©β€πŸ¦°

Kira (our fabulous forman who keeps us all on track every day) has been away working on her tan all week.

Peyton stepped up, ran the place, and kept everyone and every horse on track! From doing work experience 2 days a week to running this crazy circus is a huge step, and I, for one, know we wouldn't have survived this week without her πŸ™ŒπŸ™Œ

I am beyond grateful to have this little legend as part of our team ❀️

3 years ago today, we installed the tie ups in the barn.

We were so excited to have somewhere to saddle up horses out of the weather!

It looks a bit different now, a whole lot less clean and a bit more "finished," though we still have a way to go!

Those of you who have been here following along since our shipping container days will know it's a huge improvement.

The best is yet to come πŸ’ͺ

How cute is this young horse 🀩

Rammy is a young gelding who came for a week of education, so he has had more exposure and different life experiences under his belt.

I think Flick was sad she had to give him back. We would have happily kept him here!

Rammy did some arena work, some pole work, and also went and checked out the National Park with his friends.

Different situations and life experiences all help to make a well-rounded horse πŸ¦„

We snuck him in on one of our photo days to get a few quick snaps for his owner- a big thank you to Jodi from Grain & Mane who takes a lot of our sale pictures and does a super job!

Footage of Bella the Brumby from today.

Things to note

πŸ“ There is no reason she can't be ridden with a saddle and bridle. Her owner just preferred to ride ba****ck and with a halter.

πŸ“ She isn't suitable for beginners or nervous riders. She is a super sweet mare but still green.

πŸ“ This is a very sad and reluctant sale due to health issues, which is why we are selling on behalf.

πŸ“ Bella needs a long-term home, where she can bond with one person

πŸ€—πŸ€— The reason I love my job πŸ€—πŸ€—

"Ava had her first riding lesson this morning. This friendship has taken months of preparation. As anyone that knows Ava is aware, it takes a long time to build Ava's trust.
Jade has put in some solid effort, and it paid off this morning. To start with, Ava didn't speak but followed instructions and clearly felt comfortable to go off with Jade.

As you can see by halfway through the lesson, Ava was happy to communicate with Jade and was laughing and pointing to where she wanted to go and telling Jade.

Watching this made me emotional for some reason. Such an inclusive and supportive environment that warms for heart."

FREE TO APPROVED HOME

Passenten- Eddie 16hh 7yo Brown TB Gelding
Starts: 1
Prizemoney: $575
Last Race: 13/09/2021

We got Eddie straight after his one and only race. We did a bit with him, but mentally he needed a spell so he has spent the last couple of years hanging out with the old boys enjoying the good life.

He has been back in work for a couple of months now and is settled back into ridden life easily. Eddie has NO dirt. He has never bucked, reared, bolted or thought about getting rid of his rider.

HOWEVER he can be hot and tense. He would do best with someone who can give him lots of time, and different things to do.

He has had lots of exposure to different things, and different outings with us, including bush rides, going to other arenas etc.

On the ground he is super easy to handle, the coolest dude who has a huge personality. He is a good doer, easy to catch, shoe (shod in front when in work), float, drench. He will hang out in the tie ups all day long. Loves a cuddle and a scratch.

NO VICES

Eddie will not be sold sight unseen. He is not suitable for young kids, or kids coming off their naughty pony. He needs a rider who can take their time and get him to relax and enjoy the journey.

There is nothing wrong with him. He is Free to an approved home, in the hope that we can find him his own person.

Shod in front, up to date with teeth, worming and chiro.

This lovely big horse is a stand out, and one I think should go Eventing! He was well loved by his Trainers, and has a very cool personality.

Easy to do everything with, and no fuss to have around!

A lovely big horse who could go a long way!

SOLD: Ziggy

Ziggy is an 11.3hh 14yo Gelding

Ziggy is the coolest little pony. Safe and sensible, he is the perfect gentleman for kids to catch, brush, lead and handle. He will stand all day to be loved and fussed over.

He has done lots of Pony Club, Trail riding, Extreme Cowboy racing etc. He is easy to have around and no hassle to do anything with.

We think Ziggy would be the ultimate lead line pony, or a great second pony. He can have the odd cheeky pony moment (if you had a gung-ho kid, or an older sibling to ride him, there would be no issue's).

Comes with his Saddle, Bridle and rug.

AVAILABLE NOW ON BEHALF

Bella- 8yo 14.3hh Brumby mare

Bella has been with the same owner since she was caught. Bella came from Tenterfield- Northern Tablelands.

She has been broken to saddle and bridle, but is most happy when out trail riding ba****ck in a halter. She has had everything done with her by her owner (an older lady). She is easy to handle, has no dirt and is very soft and sweet.

There is no reason she can't be ridden with a saddle and bridle, this is just not what her current owner has done.

She is used to the goings on of a working farm and takes everything in her stride when she knows the environment. She has been shod in the past, but is currently barefoot and handling the work well.

A very sad sale, due to owners change in circumstances. The price does not reflect the quality of the horse, but the need for a quick sale. Her owner would love her to go to a home where she can continue to go on adventures round the farm and on trails.

Every Monday, Rae comes and hangs out, getting her horse fix and keeping us on our toes with her quick witt!

This week, she wanted to learn about preparing a horse for a show- if that's her first go at plaiting a tail, she's putting me to shame πŸ˜… (she did refuse a close up photo and went for the casual look instead).

However, I did tell her she was the second Australian in as many days to not post a score when I saw her Mane plaits πŸ€” She has promised to improve before LA 2028 so it's all ok!

For us, its about sharing the love for the horse, if that's riding in the arena, cruising down the road, or doing things on the ground πŸ¦„

Send us a message if you are looking for your horse fix- ridden or not, we have the right unicorn for the job πŸ¦„

Since he left us, Blue has done lots of trail riding and a bit of Flat work. He is easy to ride, straightforward and no fuss.
We have taken him out XC schooling when he was with us post racing. He wasn't a super star, but he was well behaved to take out and gave everything a go.
He is barefoot, and has been for a while. Easy to catch, float, trim etc.

Last race: 05/10/2023

Junior is a bit of a dude. He can work well on the arena, but is happiest when he is out cruising down the road or in the bush on a long rein. We use him to babysit the young ones for all the first rides down the road.

Hop on and go after time off and he is no fuss or bother.
