DonnerDash
4yo, currently standing about 16hh, Registered Warmblood mare by Donner Regal.
Breeding in photos below.

I started her at the start of year and a couple of sits on her in the round pen but my poor time has meant she’s done more sitting in the paddock growing and maturing than anything else, (which hasn’t been a bad thing for her really)
Selling unbroken as she will need to be started over for a refresher and be backed, she doesn’t have a bad or dirty bone in her body, she is a beautiful sweet mare that thrives attention and cuddles..has been easy to work with, beautiful and soft, respectful, great ground manners, well handled, has had a full set of shoes but currently barefoot.

Beautiful natured mare that sadly I just don’t have the time for her due to us moving and having me working on the farm, this mare deserves someone’s one on one attention and needs to start her career with someone that’s confident and kind to get the best out of her.

This has been a huge decision because she has huge potential and she will go far but I have to let her go. She would make a lovely all rounder!

Great to shoe, float, always first to the gate, no vices.

🏡‼️‼️Found the perfect home‼️‼️🏡

Gilly 11yo 15.3hh Friesian x TB mare

Winter project for someone to bring on.

Gilly has been out for the past 2years and is being bought back in slowly.

Very sweet mare with absolutely no dirt!

Good basic schooling, easy to hack out in company or alone.

Has been out trekking on weekend treks with 80+ horses, forest rides, beach and she’s great to get on and go…

Although Gilly has no dirt, she does need a confident, kind rider. Not suitable for beginners.
I could see her with a rider where they grow together up through the levels.

Gilly has jumped with her previous owner and has hunted, but requires some confidence building in this area
Happy to discuss this more with serous buyers.

Videos available

Gilly is priced lower to find the right rider to bring this mare on and to bring out her full potential. Very low 🍊

Rocky is a sweet dude, with no dirt, he has been an absolute pleasure to have in and around the stable.
Hasn’t done a lot, perfect to get on and go, would suit someone to hack around the farm, forest, beach, just have fun, low level competitions, pops over anything you put him at, hacks alone or in company, not a spooky type.

Excellent to catch, farrier, loves the attention,loves to be fussed over.

EC the Joker aka Chief-
Absolutely smashing his first 80 HT at Barge Park a couple weeks ago… so proud of him! He’s been an amazing baby, we have done absolutely everything this season, from trekking the king country, dressage days, show jumping, eventing to barrel racing, he truly turns his hoof to absolutely anything, he has personality plus,and an absolute gentleman. He wins everyone’s heart who ever meets him❤️
I’m so lucky🥰
He is well due for a good 3 month holiday now, where he will be completely turned out on the hills and be all fluffy and run wild until next season where I’m sure he will come back in bigger and stronger as a rising 6 year old 🙌

Registered HAFLINGER Gelding.

Ancova Silver Smith looking for a new postcode on behalf 🏡

Looking for a great project!?
This little guy will be your best mate!

Currently with me to start under saddle, due to the owners circumstances changing sadly she has had to make the decision to move him on!

Home measured at 14.3hh, rising 3yo therefore who ever takes him on will need to put a little milage into him and then I’d suggest turning him out to grow.

He is a fast leaner, good work ethic and for a young horse so willing and happy to work.
He is that get on and go type, will suit any discipline, will be a fab safe horse!

Great to catch, farrier, float, stable, patiently
stands around, easy to tack up, get on and go type.

No dirt, beautiful soft mouth and has a good understanding of moving away from leg pressure. Started correctly with all the important foundations installed, he has a good brain!

Will only be sold to an experienced home to continue his education as he is only just freshly backed. His education will continue with me until sold, price will continue to rise as his education goes on.

Jonah is looking for a new postcode. On behalf…

Jonah is a chunky 14.3hh 10yo bush pony from Ruatoria. An absolute favourite, he’s a special boy!

This wee horse is the ultimate work horse, he is a fantastic trekker and has trekked a lot of places around the North Island, excellent cowboy challenge, cow pony, sherpards right hand man, Fantastic to work young horses off and break-ins.
He is super honest, he will go anywhere you put him, without a question!
He has basic schooling on the flat and will jump anything you pop him at BUT not what he loves! He is an absolute dude, with a huge heart. He needs a job, he loves been in work and staying fit. Hes not good to sit in a paddock and be pulled out now and then. Needs a confident rider, he’s not dirty just needs a confident,kind rider to keep him in check, no nervous Nellys!
Excellent to float/truck,farrier, ride out alone or in big groups, pony off him,good to catch. Please no time wasters, this is a really hard decision!!

Tom and Chief jumped well Warkworth Branch Pony Club Twilight Showjumping last night both doing well in the 80s, time to step them up!!
Both will go so far 🫶🐎

16/02/2024

Chief aka “EC The Joker”, Tom and Xena aka “ Wonder Y”
All went out to Huapai Pony Club ODE last weekend.
Chief and Toms second event 💪
They came 3rd and 4th in Dressage!!
It was Tom’s weekend where he had one lazy rail but clear cross country finishing 2nd overall 🥈 , Chief having a baby green day, thinking that one of the show jumps and one cross country jump were far to scary dropping us to 6th overall.
So proud of both of them, it was a long hot day and they both did well!🥳

Xena- with Eva on board, her first outing in a long time just coming back into work, Eva doing a fab job, with a double clear and finishing 4th overall 🥳

A huge shout out to Vicki Haughey and Rhana Panhuis for helping me with the boys and your support throughout the day 🥰could not have done that alone!

All 3 ponies are looking magic thanks to Kerry Petersen and her magic Ecohorse products!
I use this stuff daily in the stable on all the horses!!
These two ladys were asking each other what that yummy smell was and it was Chiefs tail 😂

‼️We knew she wouldn’t last long‼️
Xena has found the perfect home 🥳🙌🏡

Xena, aka Wonder Y

14hh rising 9yo grey mare.

Xena is a pony I want to keep for my own daughter! She is fun, loving and super safe!

Xena has done a number of pony club ribbon days, shows, show hunter and show jumping, competed to level 1 dressage with previous owner.

Show hunter and SJ up to 90cm, she has a beautiful jump style.

Xena is definitely more whoa than go, shes the perfect get on and go, can ride her ba****ck in the paddock with no halter and hang out, she loves the attention and will stand around all day being pampered.

Ride in company or alone, loves the beach and a good bush bash.

Absolutely no dirt, no buck rear or bolt, just the perfect best friend.

Good to catch, float and perfect for the farrier (currently barefoot).

Xena hasnt done alot in the past 18months and she is only just coming back into work, thereforere her price reflects this.
We did just take her to Huapai ODE last weekend where she finished 4th overall with double clear!

She wont last long!!
