SB Gung Ho stepped up to his first 105cm finishing 5th, excited to continue his education

MF Sweet Temptation keeps on improving!
She won her dressage with a 70% (she has won the dressage in 3/4 of her eventing starts)

An unfortunate rail dropped her to second but extremely pleased with her quality of work and attitude.

2x wins, a 2nd and best performed mare at the Young Event Horse in her first season eventing as a 5 year old.

Very pleased with Bianca, exciting future ahead. She is looking for a new home and will be available to try fit the next two weeks

Dora has come such a long way in her work and is really starting to enjoy her job. While it's been a challenging road, she is feeling more confident in her work. Seeing her flourish has been incredibly rewarding.

As the cold winter weather approaches, these are some of my favourite pieces of clothing from Beyond The Bit for staying warm both on and off the horse.

The gilet, available in both Navy and Baby Pink, is a must-have for me. It's warm, stylish, and perfect for everyday wear, while also looking smart and keeping you comfortable during warm-ups.

The windproof and showerproof jersey is lightweight and ideal for winter days when the weather can be unpredictable. Combining style and practicality, it's perfect for riders and supporters alike, as well as for everyday use.

Both pieces can be paired with either the sun hat for milder days (as pictured) or the beanie for extra warmth when the temperatures drop

On Behalf of Owner
The Emperor (Tonto)
9-year-old gelding

166cm with official height certificate
Tonto is a beautiful gelding by Kingcaple Lad out of Old Blue (St James Xbred). He has correct flatwork with three lovely paces and has excelled in both the show ring and dressage arena with his current owner. Tonto has competed up to Level 1 dressage with wins and placings, and is currently schooling Level 2/3 movements. He is very consistent in the show ring, regularly winning wide ribbons, with showing being his main focus.

Tonto has also shown talent over jumps. He is schooling 90cm, with plenty of scope and ability to progress up the grades in show jumping or eventing. As he is still green in this area, he will require a confident rider to continue his education.

I’ve been told Tonto is good to shoe, clip, float, truck, and handle in general. He is happy to go out alone or with others. During his time with me, he has been easy to have around and a pleasure to work with. He is the same away from home as he is at home.

Tonto has talent to burn in whichever discipline you choose.

MF Sweet Temptation
5yr old, mare
15.3-16hh

Bianca is a stunning mare by SP Blue Eyed Ghost out of MF Candi (Centavos). Bianca has an incredible temperament, very willing to learn and wants to please. She is a beautiful athletic horse with lovely movement, who is super brave and oozing talent.

Bianca had a foal as a 3yr and has been given time to develop, be produced correctly and strengthen up. Bianca has started her competition career this season many outings including Show jumping and eventing to 95cm where she has lead both of her eventing starts from start to finish on her dressage scores of 67 and 70%. She has recently won the South Island young event horse best preformed mare and the South Island 4, 5 and 6 yr old class (95cm) eventing. Bianca has good flat work including leg yielding, shoulder in, and lengthening. Bianca is the same at home as she is out.

Bianca is a kind, fun straight forward mare, who is very easy to have around and tries her hardest for her rider. She will turn her head wherever her next venture takes her.

Bianca is good to shoe, float, truck, have around etc. She is happy to be taken out alone or with others. Very easy to have around and do anything with, no vices when ridden alone, in company, paddock, stable.

Tommy has good flat work including leg yielding, shoulder in, and lengthening. Tommy is the same at home as he is out.
