Eight months ago, a group of people took a chance on us and a young horse. Today, that chance paid off. 🐎

When we bought Mateo (Pierata x La Sicilina) for NZ$66,000, we saw something in him. Our Ready to Run syndicate trusted our judgement and came along for the ride, sharing every step of his preparation with us.

Today at Inglis Ready 2 Race sale for A$450,000 (around NZ$550,000).

A huge thank you to our team. The education, polish, care and attention they put into this horse showed in how he travelled, how well conditioned he arrived, and how beautifully he handled himself over there. That doesn’t happen by accident, and we couldn’t be prouder of them.

And congratulations to his new connections, Liam Howley. You couldn’t have found a cooler horse. We’ll be following him closely and can’t wait to see what he does next.

Meet Mateo (Pierata x La Cicciolina).

It's been years since we've taken a horse to the Inglis Ready2Race Sale. We were waiting for the one that felt right, here he is.

He has met every new challenge with a quiet confidence far beyond his years. The track, jump-outs, the lake, the float: nothing fazes him. When it was finally his turn to breeze, he did it so effortlessly that he turned a few heads.

Now we get to take Mateo, and our wonderful Ready to Run syndicate owners, across the ditch to Sydney. Excited and nervous all at once!

Swipe through to get to know him, why you would want him in your stable and stay for the last slide to see where it all began. 🐎

A win for the whole family today. 🤍

Oh Sweet Darling saluted first-up, fresh and still a little underdone, which makes it all the sweeter.

And what a story behind it:

🏆 Chad trained a winner for his mother-in-law, Mary-Jane, a small thank you for all the help she gives us.
🏆 Our stable apprentice Oh, rode his first winner in the Riverrock colours, good on you Oh!

Days like this are why we do what we do. Huge congratulations to everyone involved, and thanks to the whole team behind her. 🍀

Watch our story — how Riverrock ended up in Angus cattle, and what’s got us hooked.

It’s a sentimental one for us. This wasn’t just a business decision — there’s a story behind why we started down this path, and it means more to us than just another part of the farm.

We come from a horse background, not a cattle one, so this has been a genuine learning curve. But what we’ve found is that a lot of what we look for — soundness, temperament, conformation, the way an animal carries itself — carries straight across. Equally we know we still have plenty to learn and we are up to the challenge.

We’re offering five bulls in our online Bidr sale, in association with Matai Mara Angus — **September 29th, 7pm.** Five bulls, five different strengths, all of them ones we’re proud to put our name to from sires such as Millah Murrah Rembrandt, Meadowslea Mountain Man, and Merchiston Goalkeeper.

Call Richard Johnson at Hazlett Livestock North Island on 027 444 3511 to get his views.

Link’s below for all five bulls and their full profiles. Have a look and let us know — which one’s your favourite?

Closing tomorrow. Check out This 3yo by Armory known as Poser around home. He has come a long way since arriving with us and there is a lot of upside and plenty to like about him. He had a couple of jump-outs last time in and is now in work and ready to go! His owners are downsizing, but we think he will follow suit and is likely to go on to win races like the last few horses we have put on gavelhouse.com who rewarded their new owners. Poser is the horse with the white blaze in the video. Any questions please call Chad on 0277107134
