Bridgewaters Horse Park

Bridgewaters Horse Park Proudly training and breeding Champion Saddlebreds in the Harold Poil Stables tradition for 40 years All services are provided in house.

Nestled in the beautiful Magaliesburg valley this facility has been operating as an American Saddlebred Horse breeding, training, boarding and export facility over 40 years and is home to Harold Poil Stables and the Nite Legacy of Breeding Excellence. The facility was established by legendary horseman Harold Poil, protégé of the legendary Garland Bradshaw, and six time South African Trainer of the

Year. The facility remains in the family and is now in the hands of Harold's only daughter Garland Poil. The facility accommodates 35 show horses and 15 junior horses for training on a full time basis and operates year round with an indoor arena. This facility was home to the late, great Enja Hell of a Nite, the South African General and Junior Sire of the Year several times over, whose offspring have dominated the show ring. Now standing at stud and proudly following in his fathers hoofprints is Bridgewaters Stake Nite who in his turn has won the South African General Sire Ranking several times. The broodmare ban hosts an impressive range of bloodlines and includes several Broodmare Hall of Fame mares. A full range of breeding services are offered in house. Offspring are raised on site in carefully selected social groupings with a guardian donkey to teach them the ropes. A teaser pony is used in the breeding program and has a 97% to 99% conception rate annually. Garland like Harold before her is a member of the Board of the National Horse Trust and the SA Saddlehorse Breed Society and the Norther Saddle Horse Sub Union. In addition Garland is a Level 3 CEEPSA Registered Saddle Seat Coach. The facility also offers on site accommodation and equine themed photoshoots.

🌸 Foal Friday 🌸

Welcome to the world, little filly by Bridgewaters Regal Nite! 💫
A Tuesday surprise and the sweetest welcome home from the show.
She’s already enjoying a warm spring morning sunbath, while mom proudly stands guard — and proving from the first moment she arrived that she’s got a healthy appetite and a big heart. 💛

✨ Wednesday Wisdom with The Nite Legacy ✨

“When riding, ask yourself, ‘What will my horse get out of this if I get what I want?’
Many times, human nature is to take and not give anything back.”
— Buck Brannaman

A gentle reminder that every ride is a partnership.
True horsemanship means listening as much as leading, and giving back as much as we ask.
It’s in the soft hands, patient training, and moments of quiet reward that trust is built and brilliance shines. 🌿🐴

🎉 Happy Birthday to Our Heart of The Nite Legacy 🎉

Out in the fields where tall grasses sway,
A true horsewoman lights each day.
With steady hands and vision clear,
You guide The Nite Legacy year to year.

Your courage runs as strong and free,
As every horse you’ve raised to be.
Through foal and filly, show and ride,
You lead with love, with quiet pride.

Through early mornings and long nights too,
Every dream we chase begins with you.
Your wisdom, grit, and gentle art,
Make you the barn’s unshakable heart.

So here’s to the journeys yet to run,
To victories won and work well done.
May joy and blessings always stay,
Happy Birthday — shine today! 🌟

With love and gratitude from
All of us at The Nite Legacy 🐴💛

✨ Wednesday Wisdom – Show Week Edition ✨

“Success doesn’t come from what you do occasionally,
but from what you do consistently.” 🌿🐴

This quote could not be more true as we head into show week at The Nite Legacy.
Every early morning ride, every careful grooming, every quiet moment of connection adds up to the magic that shines in the show ring. ✨

Consistency is where trust is built, skills are sharpened, and lasting partnerships are born.
Here’s to the dedication behind every stride and the love that fuels it all. 💛

💚 True Horse Girls – Love That Lasts a Lifetime 💚

These beautiful moments capture what it really means to be a Bridgewaters Horse Park girl.
Even though Robert has been happily retired for two years and Gaby now competes with another partner in the show ring, their bond remains unshakable.

Every week, Robert still gets his grooming and attention sessions, gentle pats, and those quiet conversations that only a true horse-and-rider friendship knows. 🐴✨

Because real horse girls don’t love just for the ribbons or the spotlight —
they love their horses to the very end and beyond. 🌿💛

Here’s to the horses who shape us and the riders who never stop caring.

We are over the moon to welcome the very first foal out of Bridgewaters Romantic Affair and by the dynamic stallion Turbulance!
This bright-eyed youngster already carries a world of promise in those long legs and curious ears.

Romantic Affair celebrated the big debut in true style — taking a graceful bow as if to say, “Look what I’ve brought into the world!” 💛✨

Please join us in congratulating this beautiful new life and his proud dam. We can’t wait to watch this special foal grow and shine. 🍼🐴

True horsemanship is a quiet conversation, a harmony built on trust and feel — not force.
Today we celebrate the art of lightness, softness, and connection that defines every ride. 💛 🌿🐴
