Mare and foal at foot.
5yo 15.1hh standard bred mare and Filly available.
Mare is greenbroke. Lovely mare, great to catch, cover, trim and float. Will make someone a great trekking mount once foal is weaned.

Foal named Darbie was born 9/2/24 and is by an Arab stallion. Will mature around 15.1-2hh lovely nature and very smart Filly. She will make someone a lovely ctr mount one day!

Unfortunately, not having my own land now forces me to find them a home.

Everyone has settled in to their new grazing spots. Lukka is being minded at another grazing while she finishes baking her foal, we have a big job ahead to divide the new grazing so we can ration it this summer seen as we didn't get baleage this season 😒
But all in all it's a new year so we shall see what hurdles it brings us 😉

Mr Ziggy has settled nicely into his lease home 💖

Poor Lukka is miserable in this heat 🥲
And Jasper seriously needs to go in the Jenny Craig paddock as soon as I can sort one out 🤦🏻‍♀️

Just Vinny looking for a home now!!
15.2hh 5yo tb gelding by Zacinto, stunning horse, beautiful mover, will be an amazing project to produce for showing!
I wish I could just keep him on and produce him but unfortunately, my current situation does not allow this! 😕
Very affectionate, great to catch, cover tack up, etc. Up to date with hoof trim, dentist and worming. Floats well with others or by himself!
Super cheap at 8️⃣5️⃣0️⃣

Just adding everything to his album 🧡🐎

21/12/2023

Sydney is still here and is wondering why no one wants to give him a chance!
He has spent the last 6 weeks, untouched, turned out in belly high grass to fill out. Yesterday, he was dragged in, bridled, I climbed on off a gate, and away we went! Happy to cruise out on a loose rein in the long grass while I played silly buggers on his back!
He's a super cute 5yo, he's not too big at 16.3hh 🤭 he is a lovely horse who will go far in pleasure horse classes, or even just a trekker! Either way if there's someone there to smoochie or boop his nose he's happy ❤️

Ziggy is looking for his new home as a paddock mate or light hacking home.
15.1hh 13yo tb gelding with mild kissing spine (awaiting vet report)
We have found he prefers to be ridden bitless.
Ziggy would suit a light weight rider under 80kgs who enjoys plodding out on hacks.
In his time here, he has learned that living on his own is not such a bad thing, as when he arrived he had a chronic case of FOMO 🤦🏻‍♀️

He rides out beautifully, especially when he's not expecting pain in his mouth. Lovely paces, very responsive under saddle, His teeth are up to date.
Ziggy has had extensive natural horsemanship groundwork and is very respectful on the ground

Ziggy thrives off attention and going for hacks so I would like to see him in a home where he is either the only horse who gets 1 on 1 attention, or he is in a routine with other horses and he gets his turn.

Now that Ziggy is back in work, he will have a small price increase to cover the time I have put into him.

Ziggy is a sweet horse who deserves a home to call his own. If you would like to offer that to him, please send me a message.

Cute summer project for a capable teen! 🌞

5yo 15.2hh tb gelding by Zacinto

Vincent has been turned out for 7 months, was brought in yesterday, tacked up and had a wee ride, he was fresh but absolutely no dirt, a bit looky 👀 at everything going on around him but otherwise showed no signs of being silly.
We just did basic walk and trot, he showed moments of softness and contact once warmed up.
Vinny would suit someone wanting a nice horse to produce for showing classes, or he has a very cute pingy jump!

Good to worm, tack up, float and catch (when he's not paddocked with jasper or woody 🙄)

Up to date with teeth, worming and is currently barefoot trimmed.

Ready now to find a new paddock before Xmas for 💲8️⃣5️⃣0️⃣

Based in Kereru - Rural Hawkes Bay

🎄 Christmas special 🎄

Cent has had 4 months of turn out and he is looking amazing 👏😍

Lastnight he came in for a very quick brush up and ride before dark, in between packing the house up to move.
Tacked up, walk, trot and canter on both leads and although a bit tender on his toes as he is due for a hoof trim, he was amazing, he acted just like he was ridden the day before! 😀

I will trim his feet this weekend but now he is seriously looking for a home. Someone who wants to go trekking or just have a general all-rounder as he has quite snazzy paces and a great jump when he has shoes on and is fit!

Forward moving but quiet respectful fella who just thrives on attention ❤️

Cent is a solid horse, 16.1hh 7yo tb gelding. Good to catch, cover, worm, trim, float, tack up!
If you are interested in giving this fellow a christmas surprise, his🏷 is only 1️⃣5️⃣0️⃣0️⃣💰

Hey guys!

We are desperately on the hunt for 15-20 hectares of long term (3+ years) grazing for rearing calves through to 16months old as well as the handful of remaining Kowhai horses.
Cattle yards and sheds would be ideal.
Currently have 45 head of weaner calves we reared on our current block that I'd like to carry through.

Only looking due to our current property unexpectedly being sold by our landlords.
Unfortunately, Kowhai Equine will be put on the back burner for a couple of years as the uncertainty of lease properties has tested my stress levels once too often 😞

Such a lovely mare 😍

If anyone is looking for a bargain buy, then Sydney is your guy!
5yo 16.3-17hh tb gelding by Chosir.
Lovely big quiet gelding with all the bling you need! ✨️
Sydney would love to find a home where his new best friend will produce him for pleasure horse or dressage as he really thrives in this direction! He did have a tendon injury during his racing career, but he is 100% rehabbed and sound - however he shows no desire to walk, trot, canter or look at anything that requires take off 😉
Sydney is great to catch, cover, tack up, trim hooves, he loves attention and adores my children ❤️
Up to date with dental, worming and barefoot trim.
We have been to his first outing where he did amazingly and came home with reserve champion young horse! 🏆 he behaved exceptionally like he had done it all his life.
I would love to continue producing Sydney but unfortunately we have lost our lease property as it is being sold 😢
Syd would be a great asset to any home and would best suit a knowledgeable rider who can keep producing him - I whole heartedly believe this horse will be a show stopper!

Sydney is based in Kereru ~ Hawkes Bay and is available now for 3️⃣5️⃣0️⃣0️⃣ negotiable

Astro has found himself a new home ❤️
So gutted we have to move on from this property and I didn't get to produce and show this little c**t as intended 😭

Beau letting everyone know how we feel about this weather in Hawkes Bay ⛈️☂️

This would ruin my day more than the chewed rails... 🫠🪦💔

How’s your Friday going 🧐🙄 !! Gotta love a CWD seat 💺 😂

Nope, no vices, may have a cheeky nibble if bored when tied up, but nothing serious!
Yeah right 😒

Hello Everyone!

Once again we have to move 😫 so we are actively looking for either a lease property or a rental and separate grazing land as our current one has unfortunately come to an unexpected early end. 😭💔
We are looking for a 20-60 acre property to accommodate the cattle, horses and few sheep we have, and ideally with a 4 bedroom home for our family of 2 adults 3 kids.
Mobile coverage and internet is pretty important as my hubby works from home some times.

We are really hoping to stay in the immediate Central Hawkes Bay area as I have an amazing full time job that I don’t want to give up 🥺 and hubbys job requires him to be close.

Unfortunately that means I have had to cancel all bookings that have been made for mileage, schooling, starting etc.
I sincerely apologise for any disappointment my clients may feel 😢

Thankyou for reading

Ziggy is a 13yo 15.1hh TB gelding who is looking for his new person.
He will have a few weeks of work before being available. Lovely lovely horse, so gentle and willing on the ground I can’t wait to see how he goes undersaddle 💗
He has settled nicely in a paddock living by himself.

ℹ️ updated information ℹ️

Ziggy has had extensive natural horsemanship groundwork- and that shows as he is a saint on the ground when handling 😍

Ziggy has mild kissing spine so is only suited to a light rider so under 65-70kg.
The vet who X-rayed him has said no jumping but is able to continue with hacking and dressage type of riding.
He headflicks/head shakes which is manageable.
He can get grass effected, which is manageable.

So once I have trimmed, washed, wormed and given him the 100% ✅ of approval with a couple of rides, Ziggy will be looking for a home as a glorified paddock mate or a riding mount for a light kind rider.

Bit of a teaser for people!
Kowhai Starry Skies is his name or in the paddock he’s Astro 💫
Astro is a 2.5yo WelshXarab c**t, EMH 13.2hh.
Short term plans for him is inhand showing in the Golden Horse classes before gelding him and sending him away to a smaller rider to be pre started, or depending on how the rest of this year pans out, or an offer sways my mind.. he may be available for sale early.

18/10/2023

Sydney ticking random achievements off while waiting for someone to show some interest in him! He is such a lovely horse, I really enjoy working with him 🦄💗

18/10/2023

Sydney had his first experience of leading another horse whilst being ridden! He’s such a good boy, taking everything in his stride - even when Beau kept grabbing the reins 😂

And yes Bella, Solar does like being ridden 🤣🦄

Miss Roxy having a ride in the wind today! Just a couple of baby moments not liking the wind but was otherwise very good! She is for s4le! 💗
