SOLD ; Happy has been sold to a lovely local family. We are sure he will have a super future.
Thanks to all who enquired 😊

We have ‘Happy’ for sale.

He is an Irish born T B gelding, who raced very successfully in Ireland, and Hong Kong, then Australia with us!
Now it’s time for Happy to enjoy a performance career.

At 16 h and 9 yo, he is a very elegant and stylish horse, with great movement and natural cadence in the trot, and a lovely balanced canter.
Happy has been schooled on the flat for the last 5 months, and is now doing leg yield, shoulder in, counter canter. He has recently started jumping with John and is very naturally athletic and talented.
He would suit a competent and ambitious rider, and definitely has the right qualities to be very competitive in dressage, showjumping and eventing.

We had a much needed and fantastic win with Mega Fight( Sly) ridden by Jeff Penza at Nowra yesterday! Jeff is a class act, and we have so much respect and admiration for him.John and I feel very lucky; we get to feed, handle ,ride ,transport and look after our own horses, at home, at the track and at the races, and they are treated like Kings and Queens!

It is really hard work, and often a struggle, as it has been lately with a few things going wrong, but when it all falls into place, it is pure magic😊

Huge thank you to Alex McKee, who feels the wins as much as we do, and we couldn’t do what we do without her, and also, farrier Zac Edwards who has gone above and beyond replacing plates for us and rebuilding Sly’s feet, he is such a gumby!
Good boy Sly, day off today with extra carrots 🥕 😀

Congratulations to Dimity Lourey and Anansi , who raced with us, now known as Dimity’s Dream, on winning their first ever ODE!

Listens Lass gave us another beautiful win today at Kembla Grange in the Class 1 handicap, she is hitting her straps and is learning her craft; two in a row out of outside barriers and wide all the way!
Special thanks to Alex McKee behind the scenes, and also Nathan Carswell, our farrier who came the night before to fix her shoe that had shifted, always with a smile and willing to help out👍👌

We are so proud of Listens Lass ( aka Barbie) today winning the Yarraman Park Super Maiden at Scone with Anna Roper in the saddle, who did an amazing job!!.

SOLD ; thank you to all who enquired.

Here he is….

‘My Rippa’

Absolutely gorgeous grey OTT gelding, 16.1 h 5 yo, by Rip Van Winkle.

Rip has been schooled by Alex McKee for around 8 months now and competed at Equimillions for a 6th overall placing in the Preliminary New Star section.
He is an amazing mover, with a huge walk, beautiful cadence and suspension in the trot and a balanced , adjustable canter.
Rip is happily schooling all the Novice movements, leg yield, lengthened strides in trot and canter, and counter canter as well as baby shoulder in. He is very talented on the flat and with the right rider will be nudging Elementary soon, he would be a great, competitive horse for next years Equimillion show!
Rip has also done trot pole work and small jumps and shows natural aptiitude for jumping.
He travels on a truck or float, is happy stabled or in a paddock, has no vices, and is EA registered and ready to go!
Although a quiet and sensible horse, he does have big, expressive and powerful paces, and needs a rider not phased by this.

Priced at $15000, he is an affordable, well educated horse with
good basics and potential to burn 🔥
Located at Peats Ridge.
