Congratulations Liz on the purchase of the beautiful Hooded Angel! Here’s to many years of fun and memories between the two of you! 🥂 ❤️ Nsw Harness Rehoming

14/08/2021

Trail riding with company! 😍😂

01/08/2021

Hooded Angel taking it all in his stride and he’s not bragging but he wanted to let everyone know that this was his second ride under saddle EVER ❤️

31/07/2021

Definitely a week to remember for Hooded Angel 😇
From full trot circles on the bit to his very first canter and then one where he offered to take the bridle to trail rides seeing kangaroos to jumps, this big guy does it all with ease!
We are certainly going to miss him when he finds his new home very soon 😩😍

30/07/2021

Our superstar Hooded Angel winning at Newcastle a couple of years back. Look at that stride 😍😍

24/07/2021

Hooded Angel proving he really is an angel! His first EVER ride under saddle and he was trotting through open fields on a loose rein without a worry in the world. Robbie is a true superstar 😍

21/07/2021

The light certainly shines on this super star who is in for training and eventually rehomed through Nsw Harness Rehoming. He has the NICEST ground manners out of any horse that I have ever met and I won’t even begin to mention his amazinggggg trot. 😍

The gorgeous (not so little) Robbie stands at 16.2hh and 10 years old and is already a farm favourite 🤩 Keep posted for updated photos during his training.

Looking on behalf of a client
The perfect schoolmaster at basic level English riding. Looking for bomb proof, with the same attitude both at home and out in new environments . Does not need to be the flashiest mover or the most talented jumper and by no means does it need experience at the higher levels. Will be ridden by a mother who is an intermediate rider who can lack confidence. This will be her first horse after hundreds of lessons and will be on agistment to be cared for by professionals. The horse needs to have great manners under saddle and in hand.

Looking for the following criteria but willing to look outside these parameters:
• 15-16hh
• 5-15 years old
• Not fussy on breed
• Prefer no greys
• Mares or geldings

Budget of $15k and loving home assured with references for both the agistment and the buyer.

02/05/2021

Hi all,
Looking for a SAFE, SANE and RELIABLE mount for a 10 year old rider looking to do a bit of everything in the English disciplines. Absolutely no nasties whatsoever and no green horses. Horse to suit a nervous novice rider. Around 14-15hh with chunkier breeds preferred and a budget up to 8k. Not fussy on colour, gender or breed and nothing too old of too young.
Thanks! Located NSW preferred.

Amazing All Rounder/Interschools Mount

Elvis is a 5 year old chestnut quarter horse gelding standing at 14.1hh. This pony is the ultimate all rounder who has previously worked with cattle and performed tricks and now has moved onto showing success across all of the Olympic disciplines!
Elvis has jumped up to 80cm courses, winning the timed 65cm show jumping at his most recent competition by a massive 19 seconds. He has also schooled up to Intro level (80cm) cross country courses and didn’t bat an eyelid during his first time ever being exposed to these sorts of obstacles. Elvis has schooled a number of obstacles including water, ditches, trakheners, brushes and many more! Elvis has plenty of scope and bravery to jump much higher in both show jumping and cross country disciplines.

Elvis also carries this ‘can do’ attitude over to the dressage arena, where he has competed up to novice dressage with scores of over 63% at this level. Elvis has beautiful movement and lovely self carriage along with good looks which would also make for great success in the hacking ring! Elvis has established walk to canter, canter to walk and rein back and is training shoulder in and leg yields. He has proven to be a very uncomplicated ride for us both at home and at competition, where he remains the same level headed horse!
In his off time, Elvis has been taken to the beach with no problems with water or small waves, been for big canter laps in open paddocks and even rolls on his back for belly scratches on command! He truely is an “all rounder” pong at its finest!

Elvis is easy to catch, float, lead, worm etc and is great for the dentist and farrier. He is currently barefoot and up to date with all necessities. Elvis is a very smart horse and knows exactly who is on his back so does require an intermediate to experienced rider. Although he has proven to be super straight forward and safe for myself, he has shown he can buck with a less confident rider child rider. Elvis has bucked unexpectedly from a walk with no provocation with a rider who lacks confidence but does not put a single foot wrong when faced with things that could provoke a buck. It is for this reason that Elvis will be only going to a rider who has the confidence, in the case that he bucks unprovoked.

Asking $6000 neg to the best of homes. Vet check welcome. No trial periods or payment plans. PM for more details or to organise a viewing. Located Kurnell.

Looking for a new home!
Jack is a 16hh 9yo Bay Stabdardbred Gelding by Courange Under Fire NZ. Jack raced once as CatchMeCourage but was too big and still growing so had an early and sound retirement where he graduated to the paddock life. Jack has since been in the paddock putting weight back on and getting lots of TLC over the past few months with us. Jack has been backed a couple of times, with his first time ever mounted, happily walking and trotting around, even displaying some canter strides. Jack raced as a pacer however we have never seen him pace both in the paddock and under saddle. Jack has a phenomenal and large trot and literally floats through the air! He proved to be very quiet under saddle although green and took everything in his stride. He is a very authentic type and shows a nice canter in the paddock so would suit a range of disciplines. Video of his wonderful movement can be provided.
Asking 8️⃣0️⃣0️⃣ono but a home is more important than anything else for this super boy. Located Orange NSW.

ON BEHALF - REDUCED 💰

Monty is offered to the best of homes, get in for a bargain of a super young horse with talent, potential, looks, bloodlines and more! Monty was advertised months ago by us however his owner watched his sale videos and decided she just couldn't let such a special horse go. She took him back and loved absolutely every second on his back however being a shorter lady, she has come to the very realistic decision that he is just too big for her and likely has some more growing to do. For this reason Monty is offered due to no fault of his own for a very realistic price to go to the best of homes to bring out his full potential.

Monty is a 16.3hh (and probably growing), 4 year old Warmblood x Fresian Sporthorse Gelding by the world-class dressage stallion, OO Seven out of Allessandra Park Padame (Orlando Maurits). He has 3 very elegant paces with no vices however is still green so does require a rider who is experienced with young horses. Monty was professionally broken in, in July this year and was taken to a jump day less than one week after being broken where he remained unfazed. In the 4 months that he has been broken in , Monty has attended a two jump days, completing rounds of 45cm very easily, scored over 70% at dressage fun days and scored 67% at OEC Club Championships as well as free jumping 1.20m at home and showing great movement off the leg with a few occasional very neat unintentional flying changes around courses. Monty has also been on trail rides and road rides, being exposed to motorbikes, cars, tractors, forklifts, golf buggies, bicycles, dogs, cows, sheep, goats, trains and much more, with absolutely no reaction! Monty has also schooled over some simple cross country logs up to 80cm with ease and showing purpose.

Monty will take the right rider to the top in straight dressage due to his amazing movement and bloodlines, eventing due to his boldness and honesty or show jumping due to his scopiness! He has a nice soft mouth and is responsive to leg and although green due to his age and experience, he attempts absolutely everything.

Vet checks more than welcome, he has not had an unsound day in his life however has popped splints on his front leg which have been x-rayed. Asking 1️⃣3️⃣0️⃣0️⃣0️⃣ with negotiation to the right home. Will sell sight unseen with references and under contract. Please note that videos are from different dates, with some showing footage just 2 months after being broken. Monty is registered with AWHA.

Mr Tye Tye in his first schooling session with us yesterday. This boy competed into eventing last year with Rebel Morrow and has now come to us after a break to get him back to where he was at, or even further! It took him no time to get straight back in the swing of things and proved his is such a fun mount with a can do attitude. Such a dude!

Sneak peak 😎

13/12/2020

First comp on Warlock in 19 months and once again, he impressed me immensely!! This little legend and I have never competed over 60cm and today we came out with a 1st place in the 75cm, 1st place in the 90cm and 1st place in the 105cm. This little horse amazes me and didnt bat an eyelid the whole day.

Also a very special mention to Jess Townsend for giving me the pleasure of riding your wonderful Thoroughbred, Billy, who won us a 2nd place in the 75cm class! And for allowing me to ride Roxy in the 60cm very successfully!

Thanks Stuart MacLennan and Tom Linstrom for being the best show grooms anyone can ask for.

Good work to Anneliese Pfrengle for only her 3rd fall in 5 days 😝 but making sure to protect my helmet 😉 But mostly for getting back on and going clear in the second 75cm round and placing in the 60cm.

Shout out to Leisha Morrison for having me last night and putting up with me and my horses 😋

A massive thank you to SPPHA NSW for running such a wonderful and competitive day and to Bates Equestrian Pty Ltd for allowing us to ride on your immaculate grounds.

Do the words “Grey, Tall, Young, Warmblood and Mare” explain your dream horse? And what about the words “amazing temperament, very scopey, floating movement, phenomenal bloodlines and infinite potential”? Well if these words come to mind when you think of your next partner in crime - don’t look much further than this lovely lady!

Style is a lovely grey 6 year old mare, standing at over 17hh (unofficial). She is by Warmblood Eventing Stallion, Sandhills Craftsman out of APH Serena (Rocardo/Lubeck) so off her lines alone, this lady was destined to be the horse she is proving to be!

Style is the ultimate eventing mount with her 3 uphill and floating paces which sets her up high on the leader board after dressage when eventing. She has a very scopey jump and barely ever touches a rail and never dirty stop or runs out when show jumping. She has had very limited XC experience but from the experience she has had, she was very bold and ground covering without being strong and overpowering. She has done water jumps, ditches, trakheners etc and remains very level headed, showing absolutely no nasties when she sees something new. Style’s responsiveness to leg paired with her soft mouth makes her very malleable, allowing an increase of speed following by a decrease of speed as smooth as butter.

Style has schooled up to 1.30m jumps at home with plenty of room to go higher, proving she would even suit a straight show jumping mount. She has competed up to preliminary dressage and schooling novice moves, with views in the very near future to compete novice. Her movement, willingness to learn and consistency would also make her a very suitable straight dressage mount. This girl will do just about everything.

Style has competed at Berrima Horse Trials on 7/8 November 2020 where she placed 11th in a very EvA60 competitive class, she scored 65% in the dressage aspect and clear showjumping, however hesitation at the water jump left 20 penalties and otherwise would have placed 3rd place. She has also attended Shibumi Fun Day where she went clear and fast in the 65cm show jumping, earning her 2nd place. At this event, Style competed in Prep E and Prelim 1B, placing 4th with 65% and 2nd with 73% respectively. She drew many lovely comments whilst walking around both events and turned heads with her presence.

Style is easy to catch, float, trim, clip, etc and is happy to be paddocked alone or with other mares or geldings. She is a very easy doer who gets fat off the small of an oily rag and doesn’t get hot on feed (gets fed 3kg of oats per day in competition work). She will stand tied to the float all day and will stay in a small yard overnight without causing any hassle. Style is just a great horse to be around and on!!

Style is a bargain at 1️⃣3️⃣0️⃣0️⃣0️⃣neg to the best of homes for a quick sale. 2 years ago, she concussion foundered in one foot but was ridden soundly throughout the recovery and has not had a single lame day since the initial discovery. Xrays can be provided to potential buyers. Recent Xrays have been taken and shown the bone has returned back to the desired position with no permanent boney changes. She is currently on very lush green grass and oats and has not become toey. Style is barefoot with great solid feet and is up to date with her feet, teeth and worming. Located Orange NSW
