It's been 5 years, and finally, Melbourne-based EMMETT for Horses instructor Rebecca Cooper is returning to Sparkling Acres in Wellsford, NZ to kick off another opportunity to learn the EMMETT Technique for horses, on 2-3 March 2024.

EMMETT is an incredibly effective muscle therapy technique that can achieve profound changes in the body as a result of gentle pressure on specific points.

Whether you're looking for a way to keep your own horses in shape, or want to add another treatment modality to your therapy practice, it's a technique that we've found to be more effective than anything else.

There's nothing better than people achieving their dreams of breeding a quality horse.... here is the first Sartor's Supermodel foal to be born in NZ. And, there's another on the way in 2023 🥳

And now, for something much happier. When hunting for photos of Mighty Luminous' family, his grandsire Mr Chairman (sire of Mighty Storm Song, USA) was tough. Eventually, I found just one colour photo, scanned from the Appaloosa News.

A few weeks ago, his breeder got in touch. She'd been trying to find information on him too, and found that photo @ sparklingacres.co.nz.

Several emails and a photo session later, we have an awesome story, a little slice of history, and photos of a very young Mr Chairman, direct from Gail McCullough's walls and photo albums in Snoqualmie, Washington. Hope you enjoy 🤩

Today is a celebration of a good, long life for the lovely Cayuse Mighty Tantalizing (Curly to her friends). By Mighty Storm Song (USA) out of the Royal Corporal mare Cayuse Royal Titania, Curly was part of the then excitingly new Storm Song's third foal crop in Australia.

After a show career that saw her racking up points in halter, dressage, hunter under saddle, western pleasure, working cowhorse, reining and trail — at a time when classes saw dozens of competitors — she came back to Cayuse Appaloosas as a broodmare.

Her foals by Wolkenstein II (Germany), Cayuse Fewsion, Skip's Supreme (USA) and Cayuse A Grand Illusion went on to successful show (and breeding) careers of their own, and at age 18, after leading a herd in Australia for years, she jumped a ship to New Zealand, in foal to Cayuse A Grand Illusion.

She immediately organised the farm here the way she thought it should be run and later that year, produced the most phenomenal filly and introduced us to protective motherhood — Curly style. Nobody was harmed as her first 2 foals here needed help to get the basics working, though there were one or two slightly tense moments.

She was a big part of searching for and finding the Emmett Technique — a soft tissue release therapy that solved both her occasional colicky moments after eating, and post-foaling problems with 3 foals that meant their systems struggled to expel post-foaling essentials.

With that sorted, we were a unit and her final two foals by Skip's Supreme were completely stress free. Two of her daughters are still here, and she was a phenomenal babysitter for her good friend Cayuse Scratch Me First, who left us last January.

She reached age 28½ before anyone who met her thought she was any older than about 18, and was seen beating youngsters at a flat gallop just a week ago, so it's got to be said that 30 years and 2 months is not a bad innings.

For dressage and jumping enthusiasts who love something more than a little different, we have top quality frozen semen from an awesome example of the rare Danish Knabstrupper – Sartor's Supermodel (imp Denmark).

Supermodel is resident in Australia, with semen stored right here at EquiBreed NZ Ltd. He's 16.3hh of elegance, with the sweetest possible nature and produces tall, trainable and talented foals.

Take a look – https://www.sparklingacres.co.nz/supermodel.shtml

The boys are available to a select few well-behaved mares, for short stays only, this season – check out sparklingacres.co.nz/breeding.shtml for all the details.

BTW, it's unlikely we'll have the time for chilled semen sorry... the 3 hour trip to the airport is a killer.

Chance of a lifetime for an ambitious rider who likes to turn heads, right here 👇

Kemosabe is a 2019 gelding by Mighty Luminous out of the beautiful Arabian / Appaloosa mare Jesara. He's gorgeous from every angle, with very flashy paces and an exceptionally sweet and sensible nature.

Born 12 December, so he's 13 months old right now. Will grow up to make a fabulous riding horse who could take you in just about any direction you'd like to go. He'll end up around 15.1-2hh.

He's based in the Whangaripo Valley (just down the road from us) and is available now - don't let him go to waste!

Contact owner Simone French for all the details - you'll get her at [email protected]
