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!

I've been slack introducing the Golden Strike babies this year. This one was born a few weeks ago now! Another chestnut c**t 🥰 the year of the Colts.. congratulations to the owners of this lovely boy 🥰❤️

Min and Harper out for a walk together this morning 🥰 both extremely trainable and will both be available for sale in the new year.
Both out of Voyair and by Golden Strike. Min just turned 3yo is looking to finish up growing about 15.2hh while Harper (4) is the smaller of them both standing at 153.5cm currently.

My little doppelganger arrived yesterday morning. Cute little filly by Charlie Sheen 5 (imp) out of TF All Hallows Eve. Mum and bubs are doing great and Im looking forward to bringing them home next week 🥰 thanks again to for looking after them and ensuring the safe arrival of my last Australian baby 🥰

Week 1 trialing the new season WeatherBeeta - New Zealand ComFiTec Essential Turnout 50g!
I’ll be honest — I’m not usually a combo fan as they never seem to fit quite right… but I’m officially converted! 🙌
Precious is notoriously tricky to fit and usually ends up with shoulder rubs within a few days of a new rug — hence my delay in posting — but so far, so good! 💪
Loving how this one sits and how well it’s holding up to our spring weather. 🌧️🌬️☀️

Harper. What can I say. What a fabulous baby pony. We were Demo Riders for Bill Noble at Equi South today and had a great ride! So much atmosphere for a freshly broken 4 year old and she handled it like a champ! So so proud of this special mare 🥰
. now shes a proper ridden horse i should probably deal to her outrageous mane .. and by me I mean someone else who does a nice job 🤣✂️💇‍♀️

Today we dropped Evie off down to Macca Lodge to foal down as shes starting to get a bit of a bag and is due early November and we got to meet this little cutie. Pity Summer wouldn't let us close! Was testing out the Samsung zoom quality from like 100m away 🤣. He's very cute 🥰 can't wait for him to be able to come home in a few weeks! But he's definitely what I call.... Chestnut 😅🤣

🐴Huge thanks to WeatherBeeta - New Zealand for the special delivery! 🙌
Once this wild weather settles, Precious will be trying out her new 50g rug — perfect for these unpredictable spring days. 🌦💨🌪🌧❄️

Harper’s First Show Day! 🐴🌸
Today we headed off to the Cowboy Challenge Spring Show for Harper’s first ever outing — her first proper trip away from home and by herself! And what a good girl she was 💕

While there were only three in her class (and yes, a few of those ribbons were thirds 😅), the 1sts were when she was the only one in the class — we’ll still take them proudly! 🏅

Take-home lessons from the day:
✨ “Casual dress” apparently means full-blown show attire — not casual at all.
✨ Never, ever wear a white jumping square to a show (huge thanks to Andrea for the rescue!).
✨ Always pack a navy show jacket — just in case.

For her third ever ride in an open space and first time working around lots of horses, she couldn’t have been better. I’m so proud of my baby! All grown up now 🥰 - the hard work is done now.. she is still on the look for a new 🏡

✨ The very first Golden Strike foal of the season has arrived — congratulations to Still Waters Sporthorses 🎉

Make sure to check out their page — they’ve bred some absolutely stunning ponies this season (and last!).

Here’s a peek at their gorgeous new c**t 🥰 — I’m obsessed with his inquisitive expression and that perfect blaze! He’s out of an Arab mare and already looks like he’s going palomino 😍 Truly something special.

Congrats again, team — can’t wait to see the next one due in a few weeks!
(And shhh... don’t tell this handsome boy he’s for sale just because he’s a c**t — someone’s going to be very lucky to have him in their paddock!) 💛🐴
