Lovely Stationbred gelding on behalf:

Buddy is a 15.1hh 11 year old station bred he is a cool dude but has his quirks. He has mostly been used for hacking on and off as owner has been busy with a young family. Previously done a bit of show hunter and cross country with previous owner. Not much fazes him, been around tractors, dogs, cows, sheep, chickens, motorbikes and kids. He can get fresh on good grass but he has been on dairy grass. He gets fat off the smell of an oily rag, super good doer. He loves to jump and has great potential but rider doesn’t have much confidence jumping. He does get excited and can throw in a buck after but nothing nasty. He is forward out on a hack until he settles in. He doesn’t like arena work as he gets bored and can get a little cheeky to get out of it. Good to leave in the paddock and get out for a ride after a few months off. Good on his own or in company can be at the back or front no kick, bolt or rear. Super gentle round kids and is a teddy bear on the ground. My 3 year old has been lead around on him and he is so careful but does know if his rider is more capable.
Has been sitting in the paddock for a year or so but back in work and ready to view in Te Kowhai.
PM for more details🍏🍏🍏🍏🍏🍏

3yr gelding by Charlie based in Southland looking for a new abode. PM me for owners details 😊 (last pic is Charlie)

Chestnut gelding, 3 years old (born 16/11/2020).
Currently 15/15.1hh at the wither and towards 15.2hh behind with plenty of growing and filling out to do. Should make 15.3hh.
By Charlie and out of a coloured stationbred mare.
A really lovely, friendly chap who had all the pre-break in work done by a professional before winter, then was turned out. Had another quick refresher in September, but was too bum high to break at that time, so has been turned back out. Has had all gear on, lunged and long reined, and had a dummy rider on. Would be a very quick project to finish and have under saddle. Can bring him back into work for viewing.
A lovely horse to have around. Super friendly, comes straight up in the paddock, loves food. Great companion in the paddock, doesn't kick or bite others horses, great with whoever he is with. Doesn't get clingy. Is the most sensible out of my horses. Can bring in without needing to lead him- just follows the others and goes where he is meant to. Fine around tractors/ quad bikes/ harrows etc. Good with dogs, cattle, sheep etc. Loves being brushed and pampered. Great to float (only been on an Ifor Williams walk through), goes on well and travels nicely alone or with another. Has also been on a truck (travelled down from the Waikato to Southland as a 2yo) but did find turning at the top of the ramp a little confusing at the time.
As he is only 3 he needs an experienced home to continue his education. Reluctant sale, I bought him wanting to get into treking/ hunting but my focus is really dressage, and have bought a purpose bred dressage youngster recently. I don't have time to work 3 and want him to go have his own adventures.

Currently approx 15.1hh, well handled. Good to catch/lead/tie/cover/trim feet/float etc

Stormy has started her ground work and I will continue to get her started under saddle, but I am overstocked and time poor currently so if someone wants to take her on and start her themselves PM me :-)

Stays behind tape, very easy horse to have around! 🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡

The boys are all doing well. Very happy with them, although I do usually move the c**ts on at weaning time so if anyone is interested in any, get your expressions of interest in soon 🥰

Stormy is officially on the market... I have started and will continue to start her under saddle, but if someone wants a bargain and happy to finish her off themselves, snap her up! her price will go up once started 😊
