War Paint Marmalade enjoyed a treatment by Cat from Bydawhile today. Marmalade adores Cat, and likes to fit in a few cuddles π₯° He's feeling great and ready for his first outside mare arriving in a couple of weeks π
ORF Valencia (Cara) showing off her beautiful new rug from Zeberdee Equine, that she earned by growing two cover sizes over winter π
Perfect weather to have covers off during the day... Marmalade starting to get excited about spring coming! ππ
War Paint Marmalade wintering well π₯°
Big girl Cara (ORF Valencia) just keeps growing! She's incredibly quiet and inquisitive. Always the first one at the gate for a pat, and loves her Molly cuddles π₯°
Marmalade's way of letting me know he's bored... Trying to untie himself π
It's so great getting updates from owners with Marmalade babies. This lovely colt is out of a stationbred mare and was recently weaned. He's a big boy, and definitely going to pass his mum in height! π
The mare is for sale (9yrs old and approx 15.2hh). PM us if interested in his dam and we can pass on the owners details π
***War Paint Marmalade***
Outstanding young stallion standing at stud via AI and natural service to a limited number of mares for the 2024/2025 season. This boy is by the great War Paint Amigo, so carries fantastic jumping bloodlines and has an incredible temperament to match.
Marmalade's first crop of foals are extremely impressive! (See photos below).
Based in Aka Aka, Waiuku
Standing 16.2hh, he carries both the sabino and W20 genes. Cannot throw a chestnut foal.

Murphy's Law says that whenever you move horses to a fresh paddock, they'll run around and trash it π Little Harriet fitting nicely into her group of new friends π
First ride for Harriet today.
Considering she hasn't been off the track long, she was very patient with my out of practise, post baby riding π
The moment you realise every horse you own has a blaze π Think we have a type π€£
Hard to resist a project when they're this classy! Gorgeous Harriet joined the team today on a windy grey day. This girl will have a date with Marmalade in spring (unless someone snaps her up before then). Very kind natured, with huge warmblood like movement! Retired sound and still has some letting down to do. Approx 15.2hh and 6yrs old π
My beautiful dream horse Grace π
At only 2yrs old she's 16.2hh already, with plenty more filling out to do π
Had her first clip this week and stood like a pro!
Photos don't do this girl justice, she's incredibly impressive and has the kindest nature π₯°Looking for show name suggestions...
She's out of my all time favourite mare Emma (Onewerre Tick Moi) and by Wolfmounds King of hearts (Imported Clydesdale stallion).
Hit me with your naming suggestions!
We've been absolutely hammered by the weather today! π§οΈβ‘βπͺοΈβοΈ
The wind was so strong, we gave up on feed bins blowing away and fed everyone dinner on the ground π
Hope everyone and their animals are safe during this storm!
Cara (ORF Valencia) having a brush in the sunshine this morning π
This girl is very tall and will mature at least 16.2hh. Having inherited her parents lovely natures, she's an absolute sweetheart to do anything with π₯°
Beautiful Willow (by Worldly) in for her pedicure today.
She's got her winter pregnancy glow, in foal to War Paint Marmalade and due early next season π
This foal will be a full brother or sister to ORF Valencia (Cara) who we've kept.
Chilly start to another beautiful day! π₯Άπ₯Άπ₯Ά
ππ
Perfect weather for Marmalade to have a play over some jumps! π
We don't do much jump work with our young horses while they're still developing physically. Marmalade is very green, but showing some nice natural technique in the free jumping lane π₯°
Won't be able to lose Marmalade in his new cover! π Zeberdee Equine make fantastic rugs that fit so well π
Said goodbye to the lovely ORF Golden Girl (Pippa) this week. Such a good girl to load for her first float ride, and was settled in and rugged up at her new home without putting a foot wrong π₯°
First cover for ORF Valencia (Cara). Such a laid back filly, just threw it on and back to the paddock she went with no issues π₯°
***UPDATE... Rubix has now sold to a fantastic home π₯° ***

Bon voyage Duke! π₯Ή
Early wake up for ORF Marmaduke as he headed off with Majestic transport to his new home in Wanganui. We're going to miss this big boy, but we're so excited to have him in such an amazing home where he'll get every opportunity and be a treasured part of the family π₯°
My least favourite time of year....
Weaning time π
Our three babies handling it well with their big babysitter Grace.
Branding and microchip day today. Big day for Pippa and Cara who were both angels π
Our handsome boy ORF Marmaduke has now sold and will soon be off to his fantastic new home.
Going to be very sad to see him go, but we're incredibly lucky to have such great long term homes for our young ones π₯°

How Duke likes to spend his time... Leaping all over his mother while biting her π€¦π Emma just ignores him and doesn't even tell him off π π Little sh*t!

1 year ago (in a cyclone) this handsome man arrived as a barely handled 2yr old colt... Today in another cyclone, he served two mares like an absolute professional. I can't put into words how incredible his attitude is, somehow he's still completely relaxed even as he's almost being blown off the hill π π₯° Our thoughts are with all those affected by the horrendous weather, especially the emergency services who are battling insanely tough conditions. Stay safe people x
