This rising 5yr old approx 15.2hh mare is going to make a competent rider an absolutely superb mount, with every ride being loads of fun, smooth gaits and a nice walk, trot and canter on both leads.
Now looking at expressions of interest for this lovely girl through the QOTT Acknowledged Retrainer Program eligible for all QOTT incentives.

Busy here again with our next round of improvements well underway! With big thanks to Queensland Off The Track for part funding our next fencing project in the last round of QOTT Acknowledged Retrainer Grants to replace more internal fencing and make more horse safe paddocks suitable for our QOTT horses 🀩

Fortyeighthenson 2012 bay gelding approx 15hh
Yep Got Chooks 2016 black gelding approx 16hh
Tippin It 2020 bay mare approx 15.1hh

The last year or so I’ve been making it a priority to put time into my own Standardbred and get him out competing before he has to retire πŸ˜…
We have attended a few local shows with some success in the ridden classes and jump days (which he lives for!) but last weekend at nearly 15 years old, Zeusy did his very first dressage day.
On Sunday we attended the LEG dressage day & OTT Spectacular sponsored by Queensland Off The Track.
His tests were super relaxed and I was absolutely stoked at that nearly coming out with happy tears as he can get quite anxious on big outings. After coming out with 58% in the first test and feeling like I’d won the day just having him comfortable in the environment I was very surprised to come out with a 70% for equal first place in his second test 🀩 So proud of this big guy showing what Standies can do in a big field of other breeds!
Thanks to Lockyer Equestrian Group for a great event, Queensland Off The Track for sponsoring the event and Jess Gordon for the ribbon pics ❀️

Aunty Pearl
This lovely baby is only just about to turn 3 so we are taking our time with her in her groundwork as she continues to go through massive growth spurts! Hopefully we can lightly start her and find her a knowledgeable home to continue to take it slow with her allowing her time to grow.

Smoking Zak
Between 15.3-16hh, rising 12yr old Standardbred gelding last raced May 2024. Up to date with teeth, feet, worming and chiro.
Zak is a sensitive guy needing someone with the time to spend with him one on one, which we sadly don’t have anymore. He is very sweet, always easy to catch, trim, float, wash etc.
He has your typical quirky Standy personality. He is working on his canter on the ground but not quite there under saddle and can still pace when unsure. Not the type you can ignore in the paddock for weeks then pull out for a ride, does need 5-10 minutes of groundwork first-has had a little hump when fresh.

He will benefit from a home willing to put the time into working with him from the ground up and building a solid partnership. He is very handsome, has absolutely no nastiness in him and will stand with you all day for some love. He is sound with great bare feet and no itch. Point him at any obstacle in long reins or under saddle and he will cross it without fuss.
95% of the time is great around his head and ears but on the very rare occasion will lift his head and get a bit anxious about being touched around the ears or mouth. Suit trail riding, therapy, obstacles, low level showing etc. Looking for a loving forever home to begin his new chapter.
Comes with 10 subsidised lessons and the New OTT Owner welcome pack. New homes will be vetted.
