With Jessica and WrapUp on their way to the Cape to hopefully fly overseas soon, her young horse Assisted Take-off is for sale. Contact me if interested. He’s competing at 95cm and will be ready for 1* in 2024. At 8 he’s a horse for the future.

It’s been the hardest decision, but we have decided to put, qualified up to 4*, Bella Georgia, up for sale.

Bella was bread on our farm, here at Mount Helmsley. She is a warm blood mare by Bono. I started eventing Bella in 2020 at 75cm and she has progressed exceptionally well and is now qualified for FEI 4 star. She has been an integral part of my FEI qualification points to go to the Olympic Games. I have made the hard decision to put her on the market as I, if all goes to plan, will be based overseas next year with my other 4* horse. It doesn’t feel fair to leave Bella here for an entire year without letting her continue to event. I also need to create funds to pay for future expenses with flying my other horse overseas beginning of next year, & basing him overseas.
It has been the hardest decision, but I really believe it is important to give back the to the young upcoming riders of South Africa. Wether it be competing for SA Champion title, competing at 3* level etc, Bella is the South African school master.
