When your dad’s 12.3hh, your mum’s 14.1hh and you’re hitting 14.2hh at only one year old … gonna be a hack?

Comet / Ballerina (depending on her mood, and whether you ask me or mum what her name is) takes after her grandad, Glenvar Heartthrob.

She’s so awesome natured, super quiet, steady lass.

Two hapu māmā and one just foaled. This will be Paris’ last foal and I’m nervous… she’s huge. All three by mum’s stallion, Montoya. Welsh B x Andalusian. He throws very quiet, athletic, 13.2 - 14.2

Parikiore Surfer Girl has had first foal in a while… lovely palimino c**t by Montoya, Welsh B x Andalusian. Very curious and friendly

Bitter sweet, is finding a wonderful home for a wonderful pony. Bruno (Marconi Class Act x Out in Paris) is really something. I know we’ll be seeing photos of his success up here soon, with the fantastic Airstrip stables, but his was the saddest sale in a while, he’s very close to my heart.

His “little” sister won’t be going anywhere! (the chestnut in the pics below)

Bruno! Where is your nose protector? Your snoz is too pink for kiwi sun (lucky there’s not much sun then, I guess…)

More good news for Parikiore Ponies… Moe and Sweet Pea, doing so well with wonderful Airstrip stables, showing off ribbons (look! Purple 🙂 at the Whangarei A&P. There’s nothing quite like knowing your ponies are in fantastic homes.

Stunning to hear, baby Spring won best paced and mannered, in one of her first ever outings. We are so happy to hear about her progress, with such a fantastic home. They’ve allowed me to share this pic.

Spring is full sister to Bruno, who is currently for sale.

In-hand show pony for sale. Bruno is 132cm, partbred welsh, foaled Jan 2017. Would make incredible, fun, loving pony for someone wanting an easy-care pony to show inhand. His height certificate is out of date.

Does everything on the ground beautifully, though he might be a bit nervous some times, his reaction is to be tense and want to hide, he's got absolutely no dirt, has never kicked or bitten in his life (and I have handled him since he was foaled). Floats (self loads), good for feet, etc.

Bruno will be registered with the Welsh Society, soon, his DNA papers are back I just need to complete the paperwork.

Beautiful to handle, lovely manners, stunning paces and very cute.

Bruno has been broken in, but is a bit jumpy under saddle and I don't want him to go to a home expecting him to become a pony for children to ride. He will likely come right after plenty of experience, but that won’t happen soon and I don’t think he will be a beginner’s pony.

My kids catch him and cuddle him, but he’s turned out on the hill most of the time and can be very nervous.

So, now I've stopped procrastinating and I'm putting him up for sale again. I'd like $3k for him but the home is the most important thing, so I am negotiable on price.

No sight unseen, needs to be viewed here in Whangārei before he is sold.

Kind and gentle homes only. Bruno is awesome, but he is sensitive and used to people who are firm but kind, and loving.

The watermarked pic of a pony under saddle os his full sister, who just won best paced and mannered. She is very green and was also nervous at her new home, but they have brought her back to her lovely, gentle self with work.

Gratefully sending Spring (Parikiore Printemps) out to see the world and into excellent hands. From the first day of Spring (1/9/18) she’s been a delight.

Broken in by Cheryl Holland and now off to be started by Hannah Burden this is one lucky pony.

I’m sure she has what it takes to hit the heights and, if so, she’s well on her way.

Bon chance, Spring!

Look beyond the unsafe and inappropriate outfit…. I’m celebrating first ride on baby Spring yesterday. Broken in last Christmas by awesome Cheryl Holland and left to grow for 2022, here she is!

Beautiful Spring and her mum, Paris, on a beautiful spring day.

Spring and Sweet Pea recently returned from Cheryl Holland, started. Spring is turned out to grow, but 5 year old SP is ready for life. Well let me tell you, this mare is incredible. Miss 6 and Miss 7 rode Sweet Pea on Sunday and she was a dream! Confident, sensible, safe. Thank you Cheryl, you are wonderful. Sweet Pea is for sale and would be fabulous in hand and under saddle.

Two best buds went to their new home today. Funnily enough, I used to ride this pony’s g-ma on these hills with new owner, Jessi’s, mum. Only 27 years since we’ve seen each other! (Both by Marconi Class Act, out of partbred welsh mares.)

This year we have three fillies on the ground. Lucky us! Here are two of them.

He’s home! New home, that is. How happy he looks. Brad has gone to such a fantastic family with fabulous wahine to take his career to the next level. Super sire like his grandad?

22/01/2022

One of the beautiful progeny we have to remember Brad by

I miss him already! Marconi Class Act off to put his incredible DNA to good use, at his wonderful new home producing purebred section B. It’s been an amazing nearly 10 years, Brad. We have some stunning babies! Sad but excited for the next phase, both for our stud and for his new owners.

If you know a knowledgable and loving home looking for a super stallion, please share this ad. Brad (Marconi Class Act) is imported, from Lemonshill bloodlines. He is superb and easy to own. I am only breeding one or two foals now days and mum has a full size pony stallion, so it's time for Brad to move on to new pastures. Please share if you know someone who might be the right home. The price is negotiable, a great home is essential. https://www.trademe.co.nz/a/marketplace/sports/equestrian/horses-ponies/ponies/listing/3375731116?bof=f1atyIlW
