😍Introducing 😍

Beckham (AUS)
2019 - Bay Gelding - 16.2hh+
Sire: Bettor's Delight
Dam: Golden Goddess

Australian import Merv has settled in well here at Stable to Stirrup. He is a very handsome boy and is taking everything in his stride. Potentially already found a home!

With Style (Deano) out for a road ride with Grace. Deano is a pretty chill lad, but isn't fond of the arena, he prefers to be out and about hacking. Definitely more 'whoa than go' this one! He does an excellent impression of a tortoise when in the arena, so he would definitely be best suited to a hacking/trekking home!

Heroine aka Quinn (yes, we have another Quinn!) pictured here spending time with Maddy and Grace, getting familiar with the arena and the mounting block before starting her ridden training.
Quinn is a nice natured mare, sensitive and responsive, and very willing to learn.

‼️Available for Rehoming ‼️

Ava Adore
2014 - Bay Mare - 16.1hh
Standardbred Pacer
Sire: Sportswriter
Dam: Uroc Amy

Ava has been in the Stable to Stirrup training program for several weeks now and has taken everything in her stride, tries hard and does everything asked of her.

Ava stands quietly for mounting/dismounting. Walk and trot established and showing some lovely flat work, enjoys road rides/hacking either alone or in company.

Ava is a big solid type. Bold and brave with a lovely nature. Paddocks well with others, easy to handle, good for the farrier, dentist, etc.

Ava is still green and will need an experienced, confident rider to continue her education under saddle.

Worming, farrier and teeth all up to date.

We just love this photo of our rider Maddy with Stacey 🥰
Stacey is a horse that loves attention and cuddles. She is a character, always makes us laugh, and so quiet for such a young horse!

Lucifer aka Lenny
Lenny is a small wee guy at only 14.2hh!
He is progressing through our training program but still has a way to go. With more time and mileage, we think he'll make a good little horse for an experienced and confident teen or small adult.

How awesome is Stacy. Two weeks off and she was absolutely perfect down the driveway by her self. Stacy definitely likes life in the slow lane, you wouldn’t think she was a 3 year old. If you would like more information please contact Haylee on 022 035 8276 or email [email protected]

Ava steaming ahead on the early morning road ride yesterday. Quinn and Eamon following behind. All three of them are super cool horses.

Ava having her third ride and very first trot under saddle. She is such a bold and lovely mare. Ava has been great to start under saddle. She is a very quick learner and does everything we ask her to do. Expressions of interest are welcome. If you would like more information please contact Haylee on 022 035 8276 or email [email protected]

Stacey came in for some groundwork after having a bit of a holiday. She is definitely any easy going mare. Stacey is still looking for a home. Even though she is still young we see a lot of potential in her when she’s a bit older. She would make a great Christmas present for someone. If you would like more information please contact Haylee on 022 035 8276 or email [email protected]

Nyra schooling on thursday morning. She is such a sweet and kind mare. We don’t know how she hasn’t been snapped up. She would fit into a dressage, showing or happy hacker home. She would make a great Christmas present for someone. If you would like more information please contact Haylee on 022 035 8276 or email [email protected]

Eamon doing what he does best showing off how fancy and awesome he is. He has been focusing on flatwork and road riding the last few days. Eamon is able to do walk trot canter in the arena with ease. He has also been great with the greener horses down the road as he’s a very calm influence. Expressions of interest are welcome. If you would like more information please contact Haylee on 022 035 8276 or email [email protected]

Standardbred Stable to Stirrup Charitable Trust:

Every year over 100 retired standardbred racehorses are taken in for training and rehoming by a group of volunteers in Canterbury. Horses need hay, rugs, pasture, as well as a farrier and veterinary care during this time.

Often horses have to undergo rehabilitation before they can enter into a retraining program. Hundreds of standardbred horses do not have a chance to be rehomed due to a lack of resources. It is a sad reality for these beautiful horses, but we are committed to change it.

In the future, we want to create a quality rehoming facility that more horses can be taken in, but today the most urgent need is to raise funds for primary horse care. Donate and give ex-racehorses a new life!

SRRCC Trust is established to rehabilitate and rehome retired standardbred racehorses, educate the public on ex-racehorse welfare, and raise funds for various groups of volunteers involved in rehoming standardbred racehorses.
