This filly is such a super mover and 💰 very reasonably to get my numbers down, and into a super home. I am yet to see her take an average step, she is uphill and elastic with a super hind leg!
Stash her away for a few years and you’ll have yourself a serious quality horse up there with the best of them, as well as the option of being a valuable broodmare.

✨ A little life update from me ✨

With the exciting start of my new job (finally!), I’ve realised that my weekends are going to become even more valuable, and it’s time to be more intentional about how I spend them.

With that in mind, I’m making a few changes to my teaching schedule. I’m no longer taking on any new local lesson clients, and I’ll also be stepping away from travelling out of the area, with the exception of my monthly Ashburton trip.

A special apology to my wonderful North Canterbury and Otago clients, I have grappled with the decision over the last month or so, because I genuinely love teaching, but I also feel like it’s time to put some of my limited spare time back into my own competition horses and my own goals🐴

I’m incredibly grateful to everyone who has supported my “away” clinics over the years and trusted me with your goals. It’s been such a privilege to be part of so many journeys.

I have also stepped down from my role with Animal Therapeutics Online as a sales consultant, but am delighted to be staying on board as a brand ambassador with them ❤️

For my existing local clients, nothing changes — and I’m looking forward to continuing to work with you. 🥰 🐴

Some updated photos of Maple on a fresh paddock day 🍁

Officially a yearling now (January foal). EMH 16.2hh, buckskin filly.
Quasar SSH/Gym Bello. Multiple FEI producers on both sides of the pedigree. Quaterback, Londonderry, Weltmeyer and Gymnastik Star all needing little introduction in the dressage world.

Maple is an outstanding mover and very correctly put together, as well as being a quick learner and bold.

Maple has been well handled, rugged, hard fed, drenched, and trimmed.
Only available to a knowledgeable home.

Very realistically 💰 to find her new home sooner rather than later.
With my ridden horse numbers of my own rising (whoops 🤭), a new job, and new foals due - unfortunately Maple has drawn the straight straw on being the something that has to give.

A seriously quality, stand out filly that is one to watch for the future. For the right rider with proven results, I may be interested in retaining a small share (therefore also making her more affordable).

It’s feeling very Spring like! 🌸 Perfect time to stash away a young one or a project.
Two cracking yearlings available as well as a really lovely, solid type TB. Details below

- Queen Regent HD. Quasar SSH/Gym Bello/Uraeus yearling. Strong dam line which has produced FEI level horses.
Maple is a lovely, correct type with three elastic and expressive paces. Classified with a Merit award during her NZWB foal classification.
Well handled - a bold, inquisitive and kind filly.
Buckskin filly, EMH 16.2hh.
I would dearly love to retain this filly but just do not have the time or room for them all.

- Qonquest PPH. Quasar SSH/Coats Choice (NZWB Studbook TB mare) yearling. With Sir Tristram lines on the dam side, combined with his grandfather being the German Young Horse Eventing champion, this guy is one for the eventers! Tall and scopey, very well put together and a great mover. Well handled with a very good brain.
Buckskin C**t EMH 16.3/17hh. To be gelded.

- Vitaci (Tivaci/Zabeel). 5yo brown mare - approx 16.1/16.2hh. Plenty of bone.
Super type to produce for any discipline and can really boogie, she moves like a warmblood. Has had plenty of let down time since finishing racing and is now ready for a job to do. Available as is or can be purchased with a service fee to Quasar SSH. If not sold she will come into work when time allows and then 💰 will increase accordingly. Photo as a yearling.

All 💰 realistically to meet the market. Only available to approved homes.
Please DM with any inquiries - these three need to find new 🏡 to make room for the rest of the collection 🫣
💰 plans available

*Spot now taken*

I just have one booking left for schooling/starting/sales for 2026 which is mid November-mid December. If you’d like to put your name on this, please message me.

For those that missed it (as I seem to be getting a lot of requests to take horses lately!) - I have scaled right back and now I am only making available one or two clients horse spot at a time to allow for my “real” job and more time for my own horses.

Teaching remains fairly the same, just with more limited times and days available, booking in advance is essential! 📱

Breeding season is flying towards us! Ken has his first foals of the 26/27 season due in October and we cannot wait 🤩

His book for the season is filling with some super quality and well performed mares and we are incredibly grateful that he is being so well supported, by some top level riders as well as well regarded breeders! He is not only bred for colour, but also the top sport - and has the conformation, mechanics, and temperament to stand behind that.

A wee reminder that we have his Earlybird special available until the 15 September - his service fee until then being $1500. Following this, it goes back up to $1750.

There have been a few questions, and discussion, about wether he is available to dilute mares. For now the answer is no….with a bit of an explanation as to why. If Ken goes to a dilute mare, and the resulting foal is a double dilute (cremello)like him, and a c**t, a lot of people may want to then keep that c**t entire and stand him at stud. That then a) competes directly with Ken, and b) means someone may keep a C**t intact for the sake of their colour, rather than their quality. Of course we stand by the fact Ken leaves quality! But mare quality has huge impact on the resulting foal too.
We of course have a gelding clause in his contract….but as sad as it sounds, that also partly relies on a lot of honesty from people.

A cremello isn't really a desirable color in itself, double dilutes are mostly wanted for people who are in the breeding game, to breed buckskins and palominos.
They take a lot of management to keep them comfortable, from sunburn, and also with their delicate blue eyes…they struggle in direct summer sun without adequate measures taken.
And, a cremello like him with pink skin and blue eyes WILL NOT result unless he is bred to a dilute mare.

Ken is a stallion at stud not because of his colour, but because he is the sort of horse I want to be sat on to produce up to Grand Prix, and with a super temperament, as well as super strong, proven, genetics to back it up. For me, it is just a bonus (both personally and commercially) that he produces pretty colours!

One day as he gets a bit older, we may look at changing this to accepting exceptional dilute mares as we look towards breeding or finding a replacement for him. But for now - hopefully this answers a few questions we have had around it 🥰 🦄
