⭐️Services Update ⭐️

So after a bit of time starting young ones for myself and a few others I have decided I will no longer be offering this as a service to the public. Only horses that are based here at Maungatua Equestrian will be started by me from now on.
Thank you to all the horses I have broken in over the years and all the clients I have met along the way. 💗

🌟 Golden Strike – NZWA Licensed Stallion 🌟
Standing at Stud | 3⭐️ Performance Upgraded | WFFS Negative

They say the best things come in small packages — and Golden Strike is proof of that. Officially measured at 149cm, this stunning palomino stallion offers the perfect size for a wide variety of mares, producing quality foals for both pony and small horse markets.

With his eye-catching colouring, exceptional movement, and outstanding temperament, Golden Strike stands out — not just in the paddock, but in the arena. His pedigree is packed with proven international German Riding Pony lines in both dressage and jumping, and he consistently passes on:
✨ Excellent conformation
✨ Superb trainability
✨ Athletic, correct movement
✨ Kind, rideable temperament

Golden Strike was awarded his NZWA Breeding License during the 2018 Classification Tour and has since been upgraded to a 3⭐️ stallion in recognition of his outstanding performance in sport. He is also WFFS negative (non-carrier).

📍 Based near Dunedin – quality chilled semen is shipped easily nationwide.
💰 Service Fee: $1250 + GST (includes Live Foal Guarantee) AI ONLY

🕑 October- February collections Monday-Friday guaranteed with 24hrs notice.

Another Doppleganger was born yesterday... my lovely imported mare Arna (Roseglen Aphrodite) had a Min look alike. This little fella is yet to have a name and I wont be able to visit him for another few weeks when I finally get to pick up Summer and Baloo.

Welcome little guy, with the attitudes of all my Golden Strike kids I cant wait till your 3 🥰

📣 Expressions of Interest – Min
Min is officially on the lookout for his new 🏡

Currently 3 years old and being lightly started. He won’t be available until he’s finished being broken in, but we’re opening EOI early for the right home.

✨ Expected to mature around 15.2hh
✨ Lovely, easy-going nature – a pleasure to handle in every way
✨ Great for the farrier
✨ No injuries or known issues
✨ By Golden Strike out of Voyair (Voltaire II)
✨️ Registered with a NZWA passport and a Merit Award as a foal

Min is a genuine all-rounder type with the movement and presence to head toward dressage or jumping, while still being quiet and straightforward enough for a variety of riders.

If you’d like more info or to register interest, feel free to get in touch!

Nibbles is still available to lease... freshly shod, clipped and ready to be ridden. Fabulous horse with a lot to offer someone. Please PM me. Serious people only!

Seeing as I'm not fully back teaching Nibbles is up for lease again as his current lease rider is going home 😭😭- must stay here. He is fit, clipped and ready to go! $160 per week which is me covering all his costs and you just getting to come here and ride!

Nibbles – 16hh Warmblood Gelding

Nibbles is a well-schooled Warmblood gelding who has successfully competed up to Level 4 Dressage. He is an exceptional horse for riders wanting to rebuild their confidence, return to the saddle, or further develop their skills before purchasing their own horse.

While not suited to complete beginners, Nibbles is a safe and reliable partner who provides riders with valuable opportunities to learn and grow. He is the ideal horse for understanding dressage movements, refining the correct aids, and experiencing how seat and position influence a horse’s way of going.

In addition to his dressage education, Nibbles offers engaging pole work sessions that help riders improve straightness, balance, and rhythm. Although he is most often ridden by returning adult riders, he is also a wonderful teacher for teenagers, giving them an excellent foundation for learning how to ride and progress with confidence

Please PM me if you seem keen to lease him. I hate seeing him sitting in the paddock not doing anything, especially now the weather is improving and the days are getting longer!
