Retraining The Racehorse SA

09/01/2024

Petey is an 8yo stb gelding standing at approx 14.3hh.

Petey didn’t race, but he sure can move!

This little fella would stand out in the hack ring or go and do some jumping! He loves having a job to do and is super smart. He’s very quick to learn something new and eager to do it again.

The right rider for Petey would be someone ambitious that wants to go out and do things. He is a responsive ride.

He’s got an inquisitive nature and doesn’t like to miss out on things. He can be quite in tune with his rider and tries very hard.

Petey isn’t suitable for a novice rider, he has no nasties but is responsive to aids. He is also a fine built lad.

Please send us a message to chat about Petey.

Sharky 💕🥰💜🐴

09/01/2024

Sharky 5yo stb gelding approx 16.2hh

Sharky is an incredibly well natured gentle giant. He is a really nice floating moving horse.

Retired from racing as would rather be cuddled all day!!

Sharky has walk trot canter, and enjoys popping over small jumps. Whilst he is still green he is going superbly.

Did we mention he can canter? His canter is absolutely unreal for a standardbred!

A real sweetheart that tries his heart out, but can become lazy if a rider allows him too. He has happily babysat me and dealt with my potato riding abilities!

Sharky’s had a splash in the creek and has been ridden in the back paddocks for a trail ride.

He shows a lovely caring temperament which will surely find him a new family very quickly!

Within reason, sharky should be fine with a novice rider, but we will always suggest there be experience around for help, for both horse and riders sake.

Please feel free to send us an inbox about sharky and if he may be your next family member.

Promise you the first person to meet sharky will be taking him home!!

Don is coming along super sweetly, he absolutely tries his heart out with anything you ask of him. A real cruisey lad that’s gonna work the house down with some more miles. 🥰

05/01/2024

Petey having a play on the flat and trying out some jumping. A fun little guy, can certainly see him as fun kids mount / pony clubber! Time will tell 🥰

05/01/2024

The handsome wobbly 🥰💕

Whilst he’s not “wobbly” under saddle he does need to work out how to move under a rider 😅

But he tries so hard!! He’s gonna be something super special 💜💜

Sharky being an absolute saint looking after me being unbalanced and all. He tried so hard and if I lost balance he’d stop for me. Safe to say I don’t yet have my core back 😅😅 my lil qh don’t move much so he’s super easy for me 😅

Introducing cookie!
7yo Appaloosa mare approx 14hh

Cookie has done some trails but is still working herself out in the arena.

She does have some typical Appaloosa attitude but is easily encouraged to relax and is starting to have some fun and enjoy herself.

She likes to pop over the cavaletti jumps, and is learning how to settle into her three lovely paces.

We hope to have her brushed up on her skills and out to some clinics and penning comps!

Cookie is not available until after the new year, after our break and some more miles and outings.

She is a lovely girl who is learning what love is 🥰💕💜

Introducing sharky!
5yo stb gelding approx 16.2-16.3hh

This absolute gentle giant is definitely not sharky by nature!

Sharky had a small racing career but as we were told he’d rather have cuddles than race. He’s a super sweet boy.

This fella has taken everything we’ve thrown at him and excelled our expectations.

You really wouldn’t pick him as a standardbred, he’s got lovely natural movement and looks a real treat under saddle!

Sharky has walk trot canter jump, and is quite a nice easy ride, I myself have enjoyed riding him, he really looks after you and tolerates my lack of balance by stopping and making sure I want what I’m asking.

He is still very green but has a super bright future ahead of him, he’d do super in some dressage rings but probably also happily try his hoof at eventing / jumping!

Sharky will be available in the new year after some more miles / education.

💜🥰💕🐴

20/12/2023

Introducing “Vada”.
4yo stb gelding standing approx 14hh will measure when we can.

With only 6 starts he didn’t have much of a racing career at all.

So far he’s taken well to ridden life, he’s just struggling with what his legs need to be doing. He’s currently got walk trot pace canter and jump!

He’s a super cute little baby, very in your space and affectionate, we feel with miles and working his legs out he’s going to be a great allrounder / pony clubber.

So far we’ve had him in the arena, in the creek for a swim and gone for a trail around the back paddock. He’s still working things out but he’s very honest if he’s not too sure.

Until you see him move, he very much has the riding pony / Morgan look about him!

He is the sweetest little guy!!

As per our previous post, we will be closing after Christmas and horses won’t be available until the new year 💕💜

19/12/2023

We are having so much fun working with our upcoming horses! It’s actually been a bit of a stress reliever to get out there and play with them.

Kobys been sick for a bit so hasn’t been to care so things have been super hard trying to do horse things around him.

I’ve got a fair few things to post I just need some down time to actually sit and go through it all. But I promise you’ll love the 2 boys were working with, remember how I said if I ride it, it’s dam quiet? Yeah we’ll I’ve been riding one!!!!!!!! And Megan’s in love with playing with a little appy mare we have in!

We are going to have a break over Christmas so will be closed until 3rd January approx, so no horses will be available until the new year.

We hope all of you are well, and having plenty of horse time or preparing for plenty! We’d love to see how our RTR horses are going if you’d love to comment them 💜🥰
