STALLIONS AT STUD & YOUNGSTOCK Principal - DENISE DAWSON

HEATHMONT ROULETTE … standing at Acacia Ridge Stud available for live cover to selected mares.

A fantastic stallion with a super temperament, as well as being a stunner, he is a smaller, more compact WB, standing at just over 16hh. He is currently competing successfully in dressage with Verity Hayman. He is by the super sire Royal Hit (Imp) out of imported Danish WB mare, Geilgard Romance II. His oldest progeny are just hitting the competition arena with great success and the owners of his

youngsters all love them. Full breeding on website. He is throwing beautiful babies. Roulette carries some of the top European bloodlines. VALE ….ACACIA RIDGE BRAVO ROMULUS...RIP Beautiful Boy.

17hh warmblood stallion by Northern Romulus our FEI dressage stallion (by Falkland Victory out of an Arnhem, Flaneur mare) out of Lima Echo who is by Heath Ryans stallion, Salute and out of a TB Precipitation mare (a TB line much used by Heath and other breeders to infuse top TB jumping lines into their eventers). Metallic chestnut with lots of chrome, very uphill, three top paces, with very elevated canter, has done very well from limited outings always placed or won at dressage and showed much style SJ. Very bold jumper with excellent style. Oldest progeny are now rising five year olds and are starting to make their mark on the competition scene. Jane Cafella with AR Beaujolais, just starting their career and placing very well in dressage, Jane is also going to jump him as he has fantastic style. Fiona Heysen has a stunning chestnut filly which she is thrilled with. Rebecca Foster has a chestnut gelding who will be out this season, Caitlin Keith also has a rising five year old filly by Bravo who she is delighted with and will be eventing this season. AR Bianca is doing very well at Novice dressage, with lots of wins and is about to start jumping as well. Bravo's babies have fantastic temperaments and are all naturally "uphill". We look forward to seeing many more out there competing in coming years. Youngstock, from weanlings to 4yos under saddle usually available - check website www.acaciaridgestud.com.au

Our emphasis is on breeding correct comfirmation and movement, with temperament being of utmost importance. Our youngstock are foal indented and are all very people friendly.

AR Rio and Verity, were very busy at comps while I was in South Africa. Successful at the State Champs, being Res AOR Champ in the Prelim then moved up to Novice the following weekend for two very nice tests, winning both AOR classes and 2nd overall with over 69% in both, not quite cracking the 70%. although the interstate judge had her on 72.3 % and 71,25%. They are moving ahead in leaps and bounds at the moment, elementary coming up soon. Well done Verity, hard work is all paying off. Had a few hurdles with rider and horse accidents last year but fingers crossed it is full steam ahead now.

Another stunner by Heathmont Roulette, Kirsty and Acacia Ridge Rhumba having their first dressage outing. Rhumba is out of the Northern Romulus mare, AR Rhapsody and by Roulette, she doesnt half look like her Dad, he definitely passes on his good looks.🦄💖 They are doing very well, winning both their tests at SVDC this month. Lovely to see Kirsty. 👏💖

Roulette had the beauty treatment last night all ready for an outing today which got cancelled. Never mind, for a few hours he was clean and he was very appreciative of the attention 🤩

Just putting the word out there that I am on the lookout for a quiet older 16hh+ horse that I can use for lessons with beginner adults. I currently have a very cute TB gelding but he is unfortunately not happy with beginner riders. These lessons always start on the lunge but the ideal horse must be happy enough to work in the large arena safely as well. Very good lifestyle offered, would only be doing a couple of lessons a week, would suit a semi retired comp horse. Photos, my 2 teaching ponies having a beach outing and lovely big paddocks they live in.

So pretty , mist rising and sun coming up over the hills when feeding up yesterday. Very different this morning raining, blowing a gale, winter in all its fury.

Hi friends, I am still on the lookout for a live in person in my cabin to help with horses. Prepare feeds and clean 2 stables am and prepare feeds and sometimes feed up at night if I am teaching or out. 1 1/2 to 2 hours a day, depending on person in exchange for free rent and utilities. I am managing on my own but having been sick for the last10 days and still having to go out in cold to feedup etc, plus getting stuck on freeway and not getting home until 8pm after a 3.30pm drop off at the airport has convinced me that it would be great to have someone here who can cover for me. Felicity Paige did a fantastic job of looking after the horses and dogs while I was away and I very much appreciated her help, unfortunately she has other commitments and I am on the lookout again. Please spread the word.

Unfortunately Kristy, who has been with me for the last six months has had to leave for health reasons and I am looking for someone who would like free accommodation, air conditioned self contained cabin in exchange for aprox 1 1/2 to 2 hours help with stables and mixing feeds. Only two stables, on rubber bases, currently two yards as well but that is temporary as I have a rehab case needing yarding for another couple of weeks.

I have recently had back surgery and am finding cleaning stables is wrecking the good work the surgeon did.

We are on 80 acres, overlooking the sea, ten minutes to three beautiful beaches. I do have three delightful agistees and pupils who are here regularly so there is company if wished or helper can keep to themselves if they prefer. I am also a Level 1 EA Coach and have school horses which can be ridden or opportunity to bring one horse with you.

I need someone who can mix feeds am and put on trailer ready for me to take to paddocks and then clean stables, Nothing else needed until pm feeds at 6sh and that can be prepared am ready for me to just take out. Would suit uni student or retired/semi retired person. This person will also be responsible for doing feeedups and checking horses when I am away on holidays.

I also have two dogs and two farm cats plus chickens, I take care of them normally but again, if I am away it would fall to the helper.

Please call me on 0409 124324 if you would like to discuss.
