This just shows the versatility of Retired racehorses Eskabar was gifted to myself and Mark by Sir Patrick as a yearling and we raced him along with family and friends, fantastic to see even long after his racing career he’s still making people happy and living a great life.

Feel good Friday vibes!
Jess Ferri is a registered para rider and along with her horse Eskabar she has been working hard on improving their dressage skills and ring craft.

A big obstacle in training for Jess has been the need for a number of people she needs as "callers" at the lettered dressage markers so she can safely navigate the arena space correctly.
Today, Dr Noel Power was delighted to present Jess with a very special gift from Waikato Equine Veterinary Centre.
A set of 8 multi speakers that can be programmed and positioned around the arena to allow her to train and hopefully prove to be a game changer to her schooling sessions.
We look forward to seeing you out competing Jess over winter. A true inspiration to us all.

💥2024 💥

Wow, 2024 has been a real doozy! We're talking about sale-topper that blew our minds (who would've thought?), team shenanigans that kept us on our toes, and a whole lot of hard work that paid off in the end. We're super lucky to have an amazing team, including our superstar Louise, who keeps everything running smoothly, Isaac for always being there when we need him, Kylan, Corey, Aj for your ongoing help, and Aleisha, for putting up with Ellie's daily adventures and capturing all the important moments 📸. And let's not forget Klay, our farrier master, and Rob, our trusty vet, who keep our horses happy and healthy. To our incredible supporters, thanks for being part of our wild ride - we couldn't do it without you! Bring on 2025!

The NZB Ready To Run Sale has been an incredible whirlwind, with the I Am Invincible x Shillelagh C**t⭐️ stealing the show and setting a new Australasian record. Our team, including staff on the farm and at the sales, vets, farrier, and owners, deserves immense credit. Our horses' exemplary behavior and presentation throughout the week were a testament to their quality. We appreciate the support of all buyers and underbidders and eagerly await the future achievements of these outstanding horses.
