Tyson Equestrian presents for sale

LLENOVA DOWNS FLINDERS “FLYNN”

8yo (rising 9), approx. 17hh Australian Warmblood gelding. By Baunehojens Diamond Dancer, out of Rushwood’s Aliyana (S.P. Cantango).

I have owned and produced Flynn for approximately four years. He is a talented competition horse with proven results at CCN1* eventing and 110cm showjumping.

His 2026 season includes 1st at Aberdeen Smythesdale Open Grade 1, 3rd at Friends of Woady CCN1 and 5th at Wandin Park CCN1**, with clear jumping across both showjumping and cross country at all three events.

Flynn is a quality, athletic horse with genuine ability across all three phases.

He is currently being offered out of work due to my full-time work commitments and is priced realistically at $15,000 accordingly. I am not currently riding him and ridden trials are not available.

Genuine buyers are very welcome to come and meet, view and handle him.

If Flynn does not sell in his current out-of-work condition, I will bring him back into work when time allows and his price will increase accordingly.

NOTABLE RESULTS

🥇 1st – Aberdeen Smythesdale Horse Trials Open Grade 1, 2026
65.3% dressage

Clear cross country jumping
5.2 XC time penalties
39.9 penalties overall

🥉 3rd – Friends of Woady Horse Trials CCN1 Div B, 2026*

ABOUT FLYNN

Dressage: Flynn is a dressage-bred Australian Warmblood working around Novice level, with established leg yield, shoulder-in, rein back and lateral work. He has three quality paces and has produced competitive dressage scores at 1* level.

Showjumping: Careful and bold, with competition experience to 110cm and consistent clear rounds throughout his recent eventing season.

Cross Country: This has been a particularly strong phase for Flynn. I have found him bold, genuine and reliable across country, and he is proven at 1* level.

Bitting: I ride him in a snaffle across all three phases.

At Competitions: Flynn settles well at competitions, travels well and is happy going out alone or in company.

Handling: Good to wash, travel and handle generally. He can occasionally take a little patience to catch and is best held for the farrier.

Health & Management: During the approximately four years I have owned him, Flynn has had no known significant injury or ongoing health concerns and has required no regular medication or special maintenance.

RIDER SUITABILITY

Flynn is a talented, sensitive competition horse and is best suited to an experienced and confident rider.

He benefits from regular, consistent work. As part of my normal routine, I give him a short lunge before I ride, which has worked very well for us.

As he is currently out of work, his new rider should be experienced and comfortable bringing a competition horse back into work appropriately, or have professional support available.

He is not suitable for a beginner or nervous/inexperienced rider.

I have primarily used Flynn for arena schooling, jumping and competition rather than trail riding.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

• DOB: 18 September 2017
• Height: Approx. 17hh
• Breed: Australian Warmblood
• Sire: Baunehojens Diamond Dancer
• Dam: Rushwood’s Aliyana, by S.P. Cantango
• Registration: EA registered
• Location: Clunes, VIC
• Price: $15,000
• PPE/vet check welcome at buyer’s expense
• No ridden trials – viewing and handling welcome
• Recent competition and schooling photos/videos available

REASON FOR SALE

This is a genuine sale due to me moving into full-time work and simply no longer having the time required to keep Flynn in the regular, consistent work that suits him best.

I have owned him for approximately four years and he has given me some fantastic results and experiences. He has proven himself at 1* level, consistently jumped clear across both jumping phases and has plenty of ability for an experienced rider to continue developing.

Due to my work commitments, I will not be riding Flynn at viewings and prospective buyers will not be riding him here. He is being offered for sale in his current out-of-work condition, and I have extensive recent competition and schooling footage available for genuinely interested buyers.

He has been priced realistically at $15,000 to reflect his current out-of-work status and my circumstances. If he does not sell and I bring him back into regular work, the price will increase accordingly.

The right knowledgeable home is important to me.

Experienced, genuine enquiries only. Please message me for further information, competition footage or an honest discussion about Flynn.

It’s been a little while since I’ve posted here, so I thought it was time for an update.

Things have been a bit up and down lately. After everything that has happened, the horses have unfortunately been on the quieter side, but life is full of highs and lows, and there have been some really positive changes too.

After years of balancing university with full-time work, riding, coaching and running my own business, I’ve officially completed my Primary Education degree and have started working in schools around our local area.

I’m looking forward to bringing more of what I’ve learnt about how people learn, how to structure lessons and how to support individual progress into my coaching. I’m still actively coaching at Pony Clubs and Adult Riding Clubs, as well as offering a small number of private lessons.

Bookings for next year will open soon. I’m planning to reduce my coaching schedule slightly, but I’ll still be heading out around one or two weekends each month.

For now, the horses are taking a bit of a back seat while I focus on building my teaching career. I still have Flynn, pictured here at a recent local showjumping competition, and he has been working really well. I’m hoping to keep getting him out when time allows.

Thank you to everyone who has continued to support me, my coaching and the horses through all the ups and downs.

A post I never thought I would have to write.

Recently, I lost Belrieve Pretzel less than two weeks after his arrival.

What initially appeared to be a routine abscess, both to me and on initial veterinary examination, quickly turned into something far more serious. After being referred to Ballarat Equine, Pretzel was diagnosed with a severe infection within his pastern joint. Despite a week of intensive veterinary care and every effort being made to save him, the damage caused by the infection meant the kindest decision was to let him go.

As horse owners, we often deal with abscesses, cuts, bumps and lameness, and most of the time they resolve without major consequence. What Pretzel's story taught me is that sometimes what appears routine can be something much more significant.

I am sharing this not only to honour Pretzel, but also to encourage others to trust their instincts and seek veterinary advice if something doesn't seem right. I contacted my vet immediately, even though it appeared to be a routine abscess, but unfortunately this wasn't enough to save him. Septic joint infections can progress rapidly and the consequences can be devastating, even in young, otherwise healthy horses.

Pretzel was only three years old and had his whole future ahead of him. It has been devastating emotionally and financially to lose a horse before our journey together had even begun.

If sharing Pretzel's story encourages even one person to investigate a suspected abscess a little sooner, then his story may help another horse.

Thank you to the team at Ballarat Equine for their care, professionalism and compassion throughout an incredibly difficult time, and thank you to everyone who has reached out with support.

Please give your horses an extra pat tonight. ❤️

Run free, Belrieve Pretzel.

Late update of Flynn at Woady Horse Trials 🐴✨

Flynn is really turning into Mr Consistent, putting forward another double clear and finishing in 3rd place! 🥉

He has now placed 5th, 1st and 3rd in his last few competitions, and I’m so proud of how much more mature and rideable he is feeling each outing.

The dressage felt much better to me — more controlled, relaxed and settled — although maybe a little too relaxed for the judge this time. He still received a respectable score, just a little lower than I was hoping for. The dressage phase will definitely be our focus over the next few months, and I’m hoping we may be able to step him up to 2* at some point next season.

He found the show jumping and cross country super easy, and travelled so well across country, which is always such a good feeling. 🏇

Flynn also headed to Ballarat Pony Club’s show jumping competition yesterday in the Open B Grade and jumped two lovely rounds, finishing 2nd overall. It was a great opportunity to get more exposure over spooky tracks locally.

A big thank you to the organisers of both competitions — everything was run so well. 🙌

We had a new arrival yesterday after his long trip down from QLD 🤎

A big welcome to Belrieve Pretzel.

Pretzel is by Spectre D out of Belrievevale Bubbles, bringing together Australian Stock Horse versatility with showjumping warmblood lines.

After flying up to QLD, I had the chance to get to know him over two days and enjoyed riding him straight away. He is still very young, so he’ll have a quiet six months at home to develop confidence and strength before heading out to his first competitions next year.

I’m passionate about bringing on young horses correctly, so I’m excited to see how Pretzel develops ✨

Thank you to everyone who has helped with his journey so far.

Ted update! 🧡🐴

I’ve been getting some lovely updates on how Ted, Nawarrah Park Spot The Fox, and his new young rider Zahra have been developing their partnership.

Today they had their first competition together, and what a fantastic success! 🥰

After producing Ted over the past six years, it’s really special to see him in such a wonderful home, doing exactly what he does best. Giving confidence, showing a young rider the ropes, and helping someone else start their own journey with him.

Finding the right match is such an important part of the process, and I couldn’t be happier seeing these two already building such a lovely partnership.

I’m sure they’ll be flying around some big tracks together in the future. So proud of them both! ✨

Beautiful day to be back out coaching at Woady Yaloak Equestrian Centre!

It was a big day with both cross country and showjumping lessons. I used plenty of pole work to test the horses’ and riders’ accuracy, balance and nimbleness.

I’m a big believer that gymnastic work is key to producing clear, rideable rounds — whether that’s showjumping or cross country. It’s all about creating better adjustability, confidence and accuracy.

Thanks to everyone who came along — such a great day of coaching!

Flynn had a fantastic run around the cross country at Woady Yallock Equestrian Centre on the weekend 🐎💨 Taking everything in his stride, he felt confident and rideable the whole way around, finishing with the WIN 🥇🔥

Thanks to RiderVideo for capturing it all 📹
