Seeing as I'm not fully back teaching Nibbles is up for lease- must stay here. $160 per week which is me covering all his costs and you just getting to come here and ride! Or if you are the perfect match I could consider selling him.. baring in mind he technically has kissing spine (no behavioral issues whatsoever) (He is not available as a free lease on your property)

Nibbles – 16hh, 17 years? 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!

Are these on your Christmas shopping list! Cos they are definitely on mine! Look how good they look 😍😍

Christmas gift ideas I love – Day 2 🎄
This is such a good gift idea for any dressage rider who loves a bit of bling without giving up comfort.

✨ WeatherBeeta Satin Luxe Air-Tec Dressage Saddle Pad ✨

It looks super smart with its satin finish, but it’s also really practical. The bamboo lining helps keep things cool, dry, and comfortable, even on longer rides, and the Air-Tec mesh spine gives great airflow.

I also love the little details — the high wither shape for good clearance, and the removable billet keyring (which is actually pretty handy).
Stylish, comfortable, and easy to use for everyday riding or competition — definitely one I’d be happy to find under the tree 🎄

Comes in small and large, many colours and under $100 😋

Precious jumping super down at Southland SJ in the weekend. Only jumped around the 95cm for a 4th and the 1.10 for a couple of rider rails down. Once we get the nerves under control we will be away laughing. What a fabulous mare I bred, produced and now get to enjoy. 🥰🥰

While Baloo's photoshoot may have been a little later than I would have liked and we missed all the cute snuggling photos.. it was worth waiting for! He is so gorgeous with beautiful paces 🥰 .. Just a bit to curious of people so I had to put summer on a lead to get them away from us 🤣🤣🤣🤣
