Prez Sez....
Hi everyone and welcome to the WRC AGM for 2012. It’s great to see so you all here
tonight!
I have now completed my fourth year as President of the riding club and we’ve had a busy
year again. We have had a fantastic committee this year who have worked really hard to
have a good calendar of events running regularly endeavouring to ensure all the events run
smoothly, along with getting all the news, photos and interesting articles and information
out to club members on a regular basis.
I would like to thank all the wonderful members of our committee – Jody, Michelle, Sue,
Sandra, Tania, Tracy H, Petra, Olivia, Tracey B, Gillian and Anna. All these ladies have
been a pleasure to work with, they have done a lot for the club and its members –
committing their time and giving all their enthusiasm to everything they’ve done!
This year we are lucky not to have any committee members who are standing down. Instead
we have a few who need to be slightly less active on our committee so they can fit other
things in, but hopefully we have a few people out there who are interested in joining the
committee who will help share the workload around further.
Now we move into another new WRC year, and we already have our first event lined up –
our Winter Ribbon Day being held in August at Woodhill Sands. At our first meeting we
will put together the calendar of events for the next 6-12 months and discuss new ideas for
events, seminars and clinics. Of course, we will still have our favourite events as well –
dressage, showhunter and TTRs. If you have any ideas for events we can run that you think
our members would enjoy, please let us know either directly or via email – we are always
open to great ideas!
Financially, this year the club has made a small profit. The cost of running the club’s events
as a general rule ends up being very similar to the income of the club, as we are a ‘not for
profit’ club, this works well. However, you will see from the Financial report we do have
some money in the bank. We have spent some of those funds on our AGM, prizes, dinner
and trophies, and those costs are yet to come out. We will be putting our thinking caps on to
see if there are any more tangible items we should be purchasing for the club to utilise some
of the funds available.
Prez Sez....
We are often asked about clothing, and this year we have decided to re-institute one item of
clothing which includes the WRC logo and name. We have polo shirts, which are great for
riding in – tidy and versatile for summer or winter. We will be doing both black with white
writing and white with black writing. If you would like to purchase one please see Olivia,
who has organised this for the club. If we don’t have your size and/or colour currently,
put your name down on the list and we will do a further order once we have enough requests
or if we need to stock up for taking to events. Feel free to try on the sizes if you are interested
and see what suits you.
And, now we look forward to a new WRC year full of fun events and happy members.
Don’t forget if you have any great ideas for events that you’d like us to run, let us know.
Also, if you feel like you’d like to join our committee and help out at one or two events, we
would welcome some new faces. We are very happy to give you training on the job!
I’d like to thank all the willing helpers who have helped out at our events. Without you the
events wouldn’t run!
And of course thanks to all our members for continuing to join the WRC and attending and
supporting our events.
And finally again, a big thanks to my wonderful committee for all your commitment and
support! You are an amazing group who give so much back to the sport we all love.
Upcoming Events for 2012
We have lots of exciting events coming up - so keep an eye on

Fact Sheet
horses, particularly endurance horses,
could benefit from oral supplementation
of electrolytes to replace/restore fluid and
electrolyte levels and stimulate drinking.
Assessing Electrolyte Needs
All horses, regardless of performance
levels, require a daily sodium supplement.
Horses cannot obtain enough sodium to
meet their daily needs from forage or grain.
Sodium can be delivered by offering a salt
block or by top-dressing grain with table
salt or a commercial salt preparation.
Athletic horses participating in prolonged exercise are the class most in need
of electrolyte supplementation.4,5 Endurance and competitive trail riding horses
reportedly experience the greatest loss of
fluids and electrolytes within the first 20
miles of exercise. It is therefore important
to supplement electrolytes early in the
event and avoid dehydration.4
There are many electrolyte supplements
to choose from and an array of “guidelines”
suggesting how and when to supplement
electrolytes based on perceived losses. The
exact electrolyte needs of each horse will
vary depending on the:
O Weather conditions (e.g., temperature,
humidity);
O Fitness of your horse;
O Effort of the exercise demand based on
terrain and speed;
O Duration of the event, the length of the
course, and the number of consecutive
days ridden;
O How well the horse drinks;
O Number of rest stops allowed for eating
and drinking; and
O Condition of the horse following transport to the event.4
Choose supplements with little or no
added sugar (e.g., dextrose) and ensure
your horse has access to fresh water with
no electrolytes dissolved in it.
In some long-distance events it might
become necessary for a veterinarian to
administer intravenous electrolytes for a
faster replacement.
Supplement Safely
Electrolyte supplements are not universally formulated, which means that not
all supplements are suitable for all horses
(e.g., potassium-containing supplements
are not recommended for horses with
HYPP, hyperkalemic periodic paralysis).
Discuss your supplement choices and
supplementation goals with your veterinarian. When administering multiple supplements, which many eventing horse owners
do,8 determine the total amount of each
supplement to administer on a daily basis
to ensure the horse is not receiving more
than the recommended daily amount.7 h

Tracey Page Clinic Feedback:
For a young horse who had only jumped a few show jumps in his life and a rider that hadn’t
really jumped since the days of kicking ponies over full barrel height – I found Tracey to be
patient, encouraging and knowledgeable. I will definitely be following up with further
lessons with her
I LOVED the show hunter clinic with Tracey. Not only has Tracey made a HUGE difference to
my jump position (SUCH a difference that I was placed at the most recent SH I competed
in) but she is extremely positive and encouraging. She starts at a comfortable level and then
pushes you gently to do bigger jumps while instilling confidence. GREAT clinic. Can’t wait for
the next one!!!!
I cannot compliment this enough. I joined WRC only a couple of weeks ago and this was the
first event I attended. I nearly chickened out, but after a quick email to Petra she
reassured me it would be perfect for us and she was so right.
I have only been back into riding for 1 year after a 16 year break (20yrs since I jumped!). I
have bought a young horse so he hadn’t jumped either. When we rode into the arena even
the ground poles looked terrifying to me. Tracy was awesome and so were all the other
riders. By the end of the hour I jumped a little course of five jumps (woohoo). This gave my
horse and I a fantastic start to our jumping. I cannot wait for the next one.
I found the clinic very helpful, Tracey was able to pin point my difficulties very quickly and
gave me advice that worked immediately. I appreciated Tracey's calm and friendly style,
she was very encouraging. And my horse enjoyed the corrections too! I'm continuing to
use the strategies learned and am achieving good results in our training.
I had a great time at the clinic, Tracey's calm and patient demeanour with our beginners &
babies group was a huge part of the positivity and small successes of our little group of four,
each of us with different challenges to overcome. I went home looking forward to another
lesson.
Wow, what a genius Tracey is. I turned up to the clinic thinking I gone in over my head
booking the 70-80cm class, and having had a couple of falls lately was quite nervous.
Tracey progressed us from poles on the ground, to small jumps and as the lesson went on
she eased the jumps up, quietly building our confidence. She instructed me to focus on two
adjustments, heels down and hands up (not resting on his neck) which gave amazing and
instant effect of a happier horse not fighting the bit and a much more relaxed and
rhythmical style. When we finished we were told we had been jumping 90cm! Thanks
Tracey for our 60 minute makeover.
Will definitely be back for more.
Tracey was incredibly patient and understanding of my uncharacteristically naughty pony.
We still managed to finish on a good note and in one piece. Would love another lesson when
the pony is happy again.
The clinic was fabulous, so much fun!! Tracey is very encouraging and informative.
The clinic was well worth while. The class was small and we all got individual attention and
lots of encouragement. As the owner of a new horse who had not jumped much, I
progressed in one lesson from poles on the ground to jumping a small course. I was
delighted. The horse and I both had a great time! That's what it's about. Can't wait for the
next one
The show hunter clinic was brilliant & Tracey was great. I learnt heaps and really enjoyed
doing it in a supportive environment, building up to a course without being pressured to
jump too big, etc. The tip re using the 5 stride poles to ensure you get the right ride/strides
before you jump was great. Really recommend…
Loved my clinic with Tracey – as an instructor she remains calm and is super encouraging. I
felt we progressed well throughout the clinic and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Tracey
as an instructor!

WRC - Ask Hannah Burden a few questions about
Showing:
What made you get into showing?
I was really into dressage with my old pony. He was a typical bush pony and completely
unsuited to the show ring but I always wanted to give it a go. When I bought a horse off Kevin
Cholmondeley- Smith and Sally Hannent, Glenvar Al Nina, they encouraged me to give A&P
showing a go - I became hooked and have never looked back!
Most embarrassing moment in the ring?
Probably my horse freaking out at the side shows and exiting the ring sideways almost
collecting the judge on his way out. I had to aim him at a truck to stop him!!
What are you the most proud of?
Well my horse of the year title with Kash would be the obvious one - I set that goal several years
ago, before Kash even came along so it was amazing to achieve that. But, I think the thing I am
most proud of is seeing the change in my horses from when I get them to getting them in
the show ring. I have never bought the ready-made $20k show horse. It would be nice but
unfortunately I don't have that money. Kash came to me straight out of the paddock
as an OTT with very little schooling, nobody (except Kevin and Sally) thought much of
him.
It is awesome seeing the change in
how he goes, how he looks and even
just seeing him settle down and relax
into the routine here. I have had a
lot of help from lots of very talented
and experienced people along
the way, but knowing that it is my
work that has gone into him and then
reeping the rewards from that in
terms of the ribbons is very
rewarding and something I am very
proud of.
What is one thing in the show
ring that really makes you
cringe?
Not sure, I wear some very
untraditional outfits so it's probably
more likely to be someone cringing at
me!! I hate to see a skinny horse whether it is a show horse or not so
probably that!!
What advice can you give us regarding
doing a workout?
I have ridden a lot of novice horses so I have
learnt to be smart about how I use the ring have a good look at the space you are
given. If there is a part of the ring that is a bit
scary just cut the corner slightly, don't try to
make your horse face the scary part!!
If you get to set your own workout, as you often
do at ribbon days, think about where the best
piece of ground/place is to ask for your
lengthen trot or transitions. Is your horse likely
to do a better upward transition going towards the gate? Lengthen trots tend to be a bit
easier on a slight uphill, etc. The ring isn't a place to school and demand perfect behaviour from your horse, you just do what
you can to keep everything forward and flowing.
Your top turnout trick that you are willing to share?
Turnout starts at home MONTHS before show day. If your horse doesn't have a good coat and isn't
in good weight, no amount of shampoo, make up or turnout tricks will make him look like a true
show horse.
Contrary to popular belief there are quite a few showies willing to share all their turnout tricks and
tips. If you want to learn how to apply make up and all those finishing touches I suggest trying to
befriend a showie.
Do you have a lucky charm?
I actually do! I'm not really the lucky charm type but I was given a 4 leaf clover charm for my
birthday last year, actually from one of the members of your club. It has been in my jacket pocket at
every show this season and has served me well.
How long would it take you to plait a horse?
I'm nowhere near as fast as some people, it still takes me at least
half hour to plait a horse nicely. But the way I see it
what's the rush? I'd prefer to do the job well rather
than do it fast.
Hack or Hunter?
Well I adore Kash, my current hunter but I'd have
to go with hack, purely because I love the pretty
browbands!!
What discipline would you do if you didn’t
show?
Well I have given lots of things a go - I did a lot of
dressage while on ponies and have done some show
hunter and low level pony club eventing. I went hunting a
few times on a friend's horse which was AWESOME. I'd
actually love to do some track work with race horses, but
am far too big! Haha
I’ve heard a rumour that you have started
jumping – any plans to see you in the jumping ring next season?
Haha trust you to throw this question in in an interview about showing, Jody!!
Kash and I started having lessons with Tracey Paige after HOY and before he went on holiday. We
always joked that he would be far too clumsy and slow to jump so it is lucky he is good at showing,
but, it turns out he is rather good at jumping too. I have a few more goals in terms of what I'd like to
achieve in the show ring. I find it gets too expensive and I never have enough time to attempt
competing in multiple disciplines so I don't think Kash will be out in the jumping rings next season.
But I plan to have more lessons and you just never know.
As a side note I can't thank Tracey enough for the work she has done with me and Kash in terms of
the jumping. I started out nervous going over cross bars on my horse who had never jumped and
ended up doing 1m oxers in a very short space of time. Her calm, patient and encouraging attitude
gave me so much confidence, I loved every minute of my lessons with her.
What are you goals for the upcoming season?
Goals aren't something I really like to discuss with too many people incase I don't achieve them. I
put a lot of pressure on myself and my horses already, making my goals public would increase that
pressure. I prefer to quietly set myself goals and am prepared to work hard to achieve them. I have
a new pony to ride this year so it will be good to get her going and in the ring and I'm hoping Kash
will step up to open competition and continue to do well.
Who is your mentor?
I can't say I have one particular mentor. I am of the opinion you can learn something from
everyone. Listen to what they have to say, pick out the parts
that work for you and ignore the rest.
Favourite thing about showing?
As I said before I love seeing the change in the horses
when they are put into show preparation. It takes skill and a lot
of effort to get them looking their best - feeding, rugging,
grooming, working them to build the right muscles without
having them get too muscular and athletic looking are all very
important. I probably enjoy that part even more so than
show day.
What horse would you like to ride in the world (Dead or alive)?
Totilas, just so I could say I had sat on him really.
If you could give us one piece of advice what
would it be?
I think it is crucial for anybody interested in showing to
understand what it is actually about. Showing evolved
as a way for breeders to show off the quality of the
animal they were producing. Therefore there is a large
emphasis on the conformation and quality of the horse
above all else.
My advice would be consider what type of
horse is a winner in the show ring. Have a
look and consider a horse's conformation just
as much as it's ability to do a foot-perfect
work out. Just as you wouldn't expect a
horse with hanging knees to do well in showhunter, you cannot expect showing judges to
give a horse with major conformation faults
the red ribbon no matter how well it goes.
Showing is a lot of fun, both horse and rider
learn to cope in very exciting atmospheres
and local shows very much appreciate the
support of their local riders. I encourage
everybody to give it a go, but not every horse
is the next show horse of the year. Those at
the top have dedicated years to learning to
pick the right horses and developing their ring
craft. Just as in any other discipline, red
ribbons do not come without a lot of hard
work!

It's essential that every horse owner know his or her horse's normal, healthy
resting temperature, heart rate, respiration (breathing) rate, and other vital signs
and have trained the horse to allow handling for assessment of vital signs. If your
horse becomes ill or injured, quickly take his vital signs before calling the
veterinarian to help him/her get a better idea of how ill your horse might be. All
you need is a watch that counts seconds, a thermometer (ideally a plastic digital
one for safety), and a stethoscope. (A notepad for recording the vital sounds is
never a bad idea either!)

Not regularly practicing on your horse to know what is normal!
Rider Profile - Sarah Revis
Member’s Name: Sarah Revis
Occupation: Currently working in IT doing Procurement (although my dream job would be teaching and riding full ?me)
Family Life: My partner and I have just purchased a house in Birkdale and are geEng married in 2014.
Horse: Jasmine (Music n Lyrics) She is a dark bay TB mare with a liMle star on her head. She has really pushed me to my limits and made me a beMer rider for it. She has incredible talent and a huge heart once you gain the trust of a mare, I believe they will do anything for you .
I was basically given her by a friend as she had quite an aEtude (standing on her back legs was one of her favourite thing to do ) and she was very green. Three years later, aWer a lot of hard work and taking things slowly we are now successfully compe?ng to 1.20 SJ and came 10th in amateur rider of the year. We also try our hand at horse trials and have been successful at training level, however Jasmine loves her cross-­‐country and we are s?ll trying to establish some good brakes before moving up to Pre novice.
Polo (Motley Top) is fat at liMle chestnut TB mare I have had for six years. She couldn’t do dressage to save herself but was a total jumping machine. I competed her up to 1*. We did Puhinui 3-day three years ago and won the Woodhill Sands show jumping scholarship . An amazing liMle horse who gave me all the confidence in the world to bring on Jasmine. I recently sold her to a good friend of mine.
We train with: Kirsten Kelly who has been an incredible help with my xc schooling, Edward Bullock has helped me from day dot with Jasmine to make her the horse she is today. Also Sharlene Royal for my Dressage.
We most enjoy the following WRC events: The Ribbon days (gives us something different to do) any SJ or SH day, and we also enjoy the dressage days
Rider Profile - Sarah Revis
When my horse and I aren’t competing in WRC events, we like to: Travel the North I
sland compe?ng at horse trials and show jumping. I just love geEng out and about camping in the truck, loads of fun.
Interesting mannerisms/ behaviour/paddock names etc: We call her “Missy moo” and she is very clever at geEng out of tape fences. If it’s not hot, she’s gone. I have to strip graze her as she can get quite fizzy on grass, and she stays very round for a TB - very low maintenance.
When I’m not riding, I like to: Teach. I am head coach at Greenhithe Pony Club, and love teaching.
www.equinetrader.co.nz have a new compe44on, and it looks like it will be great fun. Stable Star is a new video-­‐based compe44on and they would love to see your short videos -­‐ made on mobile phones, digital cameras, flipcams, any digital technology that’s capable of making a movie. Show off your horse, the WRC, yourself! It doesn’t have to be a Hollywood produc4on number -­‐ the main ingredient is your enthusiasm for horse riding.
The winner will enjoy a prize package from Thoroughbred Floats valued at over $1,000 and there’s a great range of prizes on offer for all contestants. They also have prizes for people who follow the compe44on and support their favourite finalist.
The first challenge starts this week so check out the details at hOp://www.equinetrader.co.nz/compe44ons/ and get crea4ve!

Clipping Your Horse
SOURCE: http://www.thehorse.com/ViewArticle.aspx?ID=3833
As the days grow shorter, the diminishing sunlight
triggers your horse to grow a winter coat. This built-in
prompt means he is certain to grow a coat no matter
what climate he lives in, warm or cold. It's an amazing
protective device for your horse, but for you, if you plan
to continue training throughout the winter, a heavy coat
means loads of extra work. It will take you far longer to
cool your horse out, even after the shortest workout.
The best way to cope with a winter coat is to clip it off.
But with clipping comes certain responsibilities. Once
you clip your horse, you are responsible for making sure
he is blanketed according to the weather. This means
checking on your horse at least once a day--twice if you
live in a warm climate--to see if a heavier or lighter
blanket is required. And a blanket at night is a must
regardless of climate, although on warmer nights a
thinner sheet might be in order vs. a heavy blanket.
Some breed societies do not believe in body clipping, so
their owners might keep a lamp on in their horses' stalls
all night long to trick their systems into believing it's still
summer. This might seem like a labor-saving device, but
if you consider all the aspects, keeping a lamp on is
nearly the same as body clipping. If you board your
horse, you will be responsible for extra electricity bills,
installing the lamp, and turning it off and on--and you
will still have to blanket your horse since he will only
have a summer coat in a winter climate.
To decide whether to clip, think about how much work
you plan to do in the winter. If you plan to hang up your
spurs for the season and keep your horse in light work,
clipping might not be necessary, or a partial clip might
do the job. You can choose from several styles of clips
that remove hair in areas where your horse sweats
frequently.

If you have higher goals for the winter, you should
consider giving your horse a full body clip. For show
horses, sweat will evaporate more quickly and your horse
will maintain his neat appearance after a warm-up. You'll
find that your clipped horse is easier to maintain, because
you must get the moisture out of your horse's coat before
you put him up, and this is certainly easier with a shorter
coat. Also, a wet coat won't insulate effectively, and if your
horse is soaked through with perspiration, a blanket won't
help keep him warm unless you dry him completely. A
clipped horse will dry quickly and be ready for blanketing
immediately thereafter.
Blanket Needs
Once your horse is clipped, you will need at least three
blankets--a light day sheet for mild days, an anti-sweat
sheet or cooler for after workouts, and a heavy blanket for
cold days and nights. You might also want to purchase a
Lycra undergarment designed to prevent chafing from the
blanket. Baby powder and coat polish can also help cut
down on blanket rubs. Horses in colder areas might
require hoods, extra blankets, or liners. No matter what
blanket he wears, a body-clipped horse must always be
kept away from winter drafts and rain.

Ready to Clip?
For full-body clipping, you'll need large shearing clippers
as well as small clippers. The small ones are for the face,
ears, and small body parts and areas. However, trying to
use these on the whole body will wear out the motor. Also,
shearing clippers can clear a larger area quickly, cutting
down the time it'll take to finish the job. You'll need clipper
lubricant to keep the blades running smoothly and to keep
the clippers cool, and/or blade wash to rinse the blades; a
small brush or an old toothbrush to clean out hair and dirt
from the blade teeth and small parts of the clippers; and
clipper oil to protect the motor and teeth of the blades.
For best results, you'll also need a blanket or cooler to
keep the draft off newly clipped areas, white chalk for
marking guidelines, a tail wrap, a body brush, clean rags,
a step stool to reach his head and ears, and a heavy-duty
extension cord.
Before you start, check your clipper instructions for
guidelines on oiling and lubrication. Most large clippers
have a small hole in the front for adding oil. (Use a small
dropper tube of oil.) Apply a thin line of oil onto the top of
your clipper teeth and let the machine run for a few them
KERMIT
PERI
seconds; repeat this procedure every 20 minutes or so
while you are clipping. Brush your clipper teeth every five
minutes or so and spray them with the lubricant or dip
them in blade wash. Also, consult your manual for
instruction on changing clipper tension and conducting
blade maintenance.

WRC PONIES
Step-by-Step
Draw chalk lines around the areas you don't want to clip.
If you have chosen a clip other than a full body clip, you'll
want to use a string or a measuring tape to help you
create equal patches on both sides of the horse. After
you've measured out the patch, draw around it with chalk.
If you plan to leave your horse's legs hairy, draw a line
along the muscle in the upper leg of the forelegs and an
angled line from the stifle toward the hip in the hind legs.
If your horse has sensitive skin, you can leave a patch of
hair around the saddle. This will help protect against
friction burns and rubs from your saddle and pad. Place
your saddle on your horse's back and draw a line (not
including the flaps) around the cantle and along the front.
Remove your saddle and join the lines together. To make
the tail blend into the clipped coat, draw an inverted "V" at
the dock of the tail.
CORY
MANNY
Now that you have your patches mapped out, start
clipping at your horse's shoulder, cutting against the lay of
the hair in long, overlapping strokes. Overlapping your
clipping strokes will prevent leaving strips of uncut hair
behind. Then continue clipping along the back, sides, and
quarters.
When you reach the mane, leave a thin strip of winter coat
along the crest and under the hair. Coat clipped from the
base of the mane tends to grow back unsightly, so take
extra care when clipping this area. When you encounter
cowlicks, maneuver your clippers so you're always clipping
against the grain of the hair.
Next, clip out your chalked areas. Cut against the grain
along the lines of your patches, keeping the end of the
blades on the chalk line. Pull any loose skin taut with the
flat of your free hand to make a tighter cut. Smooth out
any rough edges by turning your clippers upright and
taking small cuts along the line. Clip the tail pattern by
holding your clippers upside down with the edge of the
blade against the "V." In order to avoid cutting any tail
hairs, wrap your horse's dock in a tail bandage.
MAHIA
MAX
Clipping your horse's legs can be problematic due to the
conformation. Loose skin close to the chest is difficult to
clip, and for a close clip you'll have to pull the skin taut.
You can do this easiest by enlisting a helper to lift your
horse's front leg so you can cut under the chest. To clip
along the bone, hold your horse's knee or hock to
discourage him from lifting his leg. Again, cut against the
growth of the hair.
Loose skin on your horse's belly should be held taut with
your hand as you clip. You might have to lean to one side
to see what you are doing, but don't kneel or put your
head where your horse can kick. Bellies are tickly things,
particularly with mares, so go carefully and hold your head
well out of kicking range when clipping between the hind
legs.
For the head, switch to your smaller, quieter clippers and
start along the jaw or cheekbone. Clip all the large parts
first, leaving the muzzle, ears, and eyes for last. Go slowly
around the eyes; keep the skin taut and hold the
eyelashes out of the way with your free hand. To clip the
outside of the ears, hold them closed, point the blades
upward, and clip the hair poking from inside and around
the base. For the backs and edges of the ears, go with the
growth of the hair and blend. Clip the muzzle as you
would normally when trimming.
While all of this sounds simple, it takes practice, so don't
start unless you have plenty of time to patiently finish.
Enlist the aid of an experienced person if this is your first
time. Make sure your surroundings are calm and safe for
you and the horse, and will continue to be quiet for a
couple of hours (i.e. don't start shortly before feeding
time). If your horse is "clipper shy," then spend time early
in the fall getting him desensitized to the clippers and
listening to you. If that doesn't work or you have to ship
to a warmer climate before you have time to finish your
training, have your veterinarian sedate your horse before
clipping so neither of you gets hurt.
When it's over and your horse is nicely clipped, remember
that you must take care of him by watching the weather
and "dressing" him accordingly.

FREE LEASE – 9 year old Thoroughbred Gelding
I'm currently looking for someone to lease my 15.3 Gelding. He's very sweet, honest
and kind, and so trusting - but as with any thoroughbred he can get a little fizzy if
put in a stressful situation...
He is absolutely awesome to ride in the forest and on the beach and loves being out
doing things. I've also been told by competitive riders he would make a great
eventer, and he placed in his 2nd ever ORD. He was very well behaved at the ORD
and loved the attention he got before and after :)
He's a real sweetheart and was a great confidence booster for me getting back into
riding after over 10 years off after an accident - but he doesn't have the paces for
show hunter.
I'm only looking for a lease situation as he is very special to me and I would prefer he
stayed at the current grazing (which is very reasonably priced and close to
everything as is in Kumeu). However, in saying that, he would be totally your horse
as long as he was healthy and happy !
If you are interested (or know someone who could be) please contact me to discuss.
He is not suitable for beginners, as he is no school master. He will go to a
knowledgeable home only.
