FOR SALE !!

KOOROON HARLEY
15.3HH 15 Y/O (D.O.B 03/12/2008) Registered Liver Chestnut Stockhorse Gelding
Harley is an absolute gentleman. He is great to handle, is very clean and happy in a stable both at home and out. Easy to wash, stands amazingly to be trimmed or shod, and walks straight onto a float or truck.
He is an awesome horse to handle and we always love taking him to competitions, riding at home or just riding on a trail - he's easy-going and will attempt to do whatever is asked of him.
He is a forward, confident mount currently competing 90-100cm competitively and always comes home with a ribbon.
Ridden on the flat and on trails in a snaffle.
Harley is looking for a kind, knowledgeable and low level competitive home.
He has been to Jump Days, Pony Club, Interschool and Open Showjumping events.
He has mustered and drafted cattle, ridden on roads and leads well off of ATV's and Gators.
As Harley is forward moving and requires a steady contact and leg, he will only be sold to a confident rider who is wanting to have fun with a kind and loveable horse.
Harley has a smooth walk, trot and canter with easy transitions, and an established flying change.
Selling as rider is looking to step up into the meter classes.

PS MAN OF HONOUR
16.3HH 9Y/O (D.O.B 24/08/2014) EA Registered Bay Thoroughbred Gelding
Elijah is a gentle giant. He is great to handle, happy to be in a stable both at home and out.
Easy to wash, clip, worm, rug etc. Stands beautifully for the farrier to be trimmed or shod, and loads easily into a float or truck.
Elijah trialled, never raced, as he was too slow to be a race horse. His last trial was in 2016, race name ‘Craiglea Raldo’.
He has a soft snaffle mouth, both on the flat and over jumps. He absolutely loves trails and exploring new places.
He is currently jumping around 100cm and actively training dressage.
Elijah has been to numerous Jump Days, Pony Club Rallies, and open show jumping events. He has competed in two dressage events so far, winning both of them with scores being above 65%.
Elijah would be suited towards an allrounder/dressage based home, as he much prefers dressage to jumping, and we believe that he could have a big future in that discipline.
He has been to the beach, been ridden on roads, mustered cattle and leads well off of ATV’s and Gators. He is incredibly quiet to handle and has been used as a ‘lead pony’ for Thoroughbred yearlings. He doesn’t mind being roped off of, covered by a tarp or ridden bare-back.
Elijah is a sensitive mount, and can be looky/spooky in new places. Because of this, he will ONLY be sold to a kind, confident and knowledgeable rider to give him confidence and continue his training.
Elijah has a smooth walk, trot and canter with amazing transitions, and has an established walk to canter and flying change.
Selling as rider is looking to step up into the meter classes.
This sale is absolutely devastating, as he is so incredibly special to our family, he deserves the absolute best home possible.
Low 5 figures, negotiable to the perfect home.
Located in Warwick, QLD.

He is a forward, confident mount currently competing 90-100cm competitively and always comes home with a ribbon.
Ridden on the flat and on trails in a snaffle.
Harley is looking for a kind, knowledgeable and non-competitive/low level home, as he is most comfortable cruising around the 70-80's.
He has been to Jump Days, Pony Club, Interschool and Open Showjumping events.
He has mustered and drafted cattle, ridden on roads and leads well off of ATV's and Gators.
As Harley is forward moving and requires a steady contact and leg, he will only be sold to a confident older teen or adult/senior rider who is wanting to have fun with a kind and loveable horse.
Harley has a smooth walk, trot and canter with easy transitions, and an established flying change.

Horses are amazingly tolerant, giving creatures. 🐴
It unfortunately means they're often exploited due to the ambitions of the human.
After their basic needs are met, you must be very thoughtful in the training of your horse.
Your first duty is to preserve the purity of the paces. What does this mean? Walk has 4 beats, trot has 2, canter has 3, gallop has 4. ALWAYS. If not, something is wrong biomechanically, & your horse is at risk of
injury. BTW impure paces can usually be detected in a photograph, even though it is only a "moment in time", AND this applies to all disciplines.
Strapping a horse's mouth shut with a crank/flash (or other) noseband very often contributes. The fact is, a horse cannot maintain full range of motion with his hind legs if he can't move his tongue and jaw. FACT.
For jumping, if the horse bolts off - away from,
towards, or after a jump, putting on a bigger bit & a martingale will not fix it. If a horse hesitates or stops, pulling out the whip will NEVER make him more confident.
These are just a few hints that your horse is asking for HELP. Go back. Consolidate the basics.
Another wonderful thing about horses is they're retrainable. If you ignore the hints, eventually the horse will either break down, or will SHOUT to get your attention, and you will get hurt.
After all, horses are dangerous. We tell everyone that. But actually they are not. We wouldn't be able to ride them if they were truly dangerous.
You know what's dangerous? People are. 😌

Excerpt from Franz Mairinger's book
"Horses are made to be Horses".

"The horse must understand and accept any demands made by rider without any resistance. Reward the horse each time he does what is asked of him. Never ask for more than he is capable of giving. Make him a companion, and not a slave, then you will see what a true friend he is."

- Nuno Oliveira

‘Until you can walk, trot, canter and gallop your horse on a loose rein with direction and purpose, collection is a joke. It's not collection but containment for an insecure rider. It's pulling and holding and you're just calling it collection to sound noble.
Collection always comes back to front…. Always.’

-Buck Brannaman

Just want to say ‘thank you’ to all who took their time to enquire and/or inspect ‘Phoenix’, he has been sold to the best and most suitable home we could find for him. 😍
We know we may have disappointed a few hopefuls, but this horse truly deserved to be matched with his most fitting forever home and we believe we have achieved this.
Congratulations to Monika, we hope you enjoy riding your Unicorn 🦄 through the trails of Duffy’s Forest NSW.

*EDIT* SOLD

“Phoenix” a Connemara X QH Gelding.
A genuine UNICORN, Phoenix is a 12 year old, 15 hh absolute gentleman. He is fabulous to stable, one of the cleanest horses we’ve had, and happy to be on his own or with others. He stands beautifully to be trimmed or shod and for the Dentist, he also self-loads into the float.
Phoenix is extremely quiet, great around bikes, the lawnmower, dogs, machinery, etc. and has been to the beach and LOVED it! He is fantastic out on trails and would suit a non-competitive home.
He has a smooth walk, trot and canter and has easy transitions.... more Woah than Go.
We have jumped him 70cm without hesitation and he has a beautifully soft mouth.
Our family would love to keep him to join our bunch, although our daughter has her sights set on a 16.3 hh OTT to start Eventing!

Phoenix will only be sold to an approved, reliable and loving home as he is one in a million….
Please message me for more details, price and videos. We are located 50 km south of Toowoomba, QLD.
