Blows me away how little interest I’ve had in this pony.
She has had a massive price drop, she is in work, she is low maintenance, has great feet, is easy care and will make someone a fun all round pony.

Little Rosie needs to find a new place to call home due to her current family making the move to Australia. She is a sweet, low maintenance 2nd pony with some miles already on the clock .

A fun but tiring day trip to Wanganui A&P.

Sprite jumped awesome, double clear for 6th in 1.15m and double clear for 2nd in the Amateur (thank you to Dunstan Horsefeeds for sponsoring this class). Couldn’t be happier.

Mouse (sourced from Jump Start) jumped well in her 90cm, taking a couple green rails. Can’t fault her behaviour throughout the day.

Tommy (no photos sadly 😢) was super excited to be out jumping having one down in the 70cm and jumping double clear in the 80cm.

A big shout out to the organisers, helpers and sponsors. We wouldn’t have shows without all your hard work.

Also thanks to Sonya Mason and Sue Stone for giving me the ride on their horses.

Definitely missed having my number one helper Stacey Fraser.

SALE ON BEHALF

Pumpkin
6 year old (DOB 24/10/2018)
Sire Galaxy Spring Fever, Dam: Sahara (out of Cheleken mare, by FacetimeII; full wire hunter)
14.2-14.3hh (unofficial)

Pumpkin has had the best start to his ridden career, he has been brought on slowly and not be rushed or over faced. He was started at 3, turned out, ridden as a 4yo a little , turned out then started doing more as a 5yr old.
Pumpkin has been to adult riding club, CTRs, been farm hacked a lot, attended in-hand show and done a few low key outings. He has attended numerous lessons at different arenas and coped very well

Pumpkin has done minimal jumping but shows natural technique, rhythm and scope.

Pumpkin is great to handle in all ways, floats and is good for farrier etc. He is very friendly and is a first to the gate type.

I’ve had Pumpkin for 4 weeks to bring him back into work after 7 months off (due to rider injury not related to him). He has been generally straightforward and I just jumped straight on. This being said Pumpkin is still green, lacks some life experience and requires a competent, experienced rider to continue his education.

I see Pumpkin being the ultimate PC pony who will excel in the SH ring and/or pleasure ring.

SIKA
12hh
9yrs
Welsh

Sika has spent most of his life with the same family, he has been ridden by all ages on and off lead. He is generally a laid back guy happy to give anything a go. He is happy popping over small jumps (50cm).

Sika is very easy to have around, groom, wash, clip, catch, float, cover in glitter etc.

He is low maintenance and runs on little to no grass, has tidy feet, no injury history or previous health issues. He is happy living with big or small horses.

He is only for sale as his riders have moved up in pony size or lost interest.

Mare

Rosie was recently purchased as a family pony however due to her new families change in personal circumstances she is looking for a new place to call home.

In her previous home Rosie has been to pony club, low level shows, SJ 80cm and xcountry jumping to 65cm. She has been farm hacked and been out and about a lot.
Rosie is has a tolerant nature and is very straightforward to deal with in most ways.

Rosie is forward moving without being hot or fizzy, she hasn’t shown any buck, rear or bolt. She is good to ride out alone and in company. She is good with traffic etc

Rosie is low maintenance, easy keeper, she is bare foot, trucks/floats and is good for the farrier. She is generally good to handle and has no medical or injury history.

I see Rosie being a fun 2nd pony club pony for a confident young person.

Apollo
10 years
15.2HH (unofficial)
Stationbred
Gelding

Apollo is looking for a place to call home.
He has had a very low key start to life. Apollo has been taken to local adult riding club, done a desensitising day with obstacles, and a couple of low key dressage days.
Apollo has basic flat work and he will work in a nice outline. He is confidently jumping schooling 70/80cm with potential and technique to go higher. He has been x-country schooled and happy to tackle anything.
Apollo is good to hack out alone and in company, he is a good forward but not a hot or fizzy ride.
Apollo is has great feet, he is barefoot and copes very well. He floats, is good to handle in most aspects and is generally low maintenance.

I see him being a great first horse for experienced confident rider or a fun amateur rider mount.

Apollo has a heap of potential to be a genuine all rounder in the right hands

Thanks for the great feedback and thank you for entrusting me to find Wally his next human. I absolutely loved my time with him and am excited to see him progress with his new rider.

Apollo is also with me to find a new human. He is a great size, lovely mover and a very nice type. He will be hitting the market in a couple weeks.

20/10/2024

Starting up Pumpkins album. He’s been out of work for roughly 7 months so probably won’t be hitting the market for a few more weeks.
He’s been with me for a week so far and I’m in love 🥰
