American Shetland x Welsh A

Are you looking for a leading rein, saddle, or in hand stand out? Or just friendly face to be your kiddos next best friend? Look no further!

Beau possesses truly stand out movement, is beautifully put together, and will excell in the show ring under saddle. He has shown with incredible success in his youngstock career, and would easily continue to stand out in hand as well.

He holds himself in a beautiful outline, even for small hands, and is a responsive and kind ride. He is active but not hot in his forwardness and has excellent brakes! He is everything you look for in a leading rein pony, easy to shape, responsive to a small rider, not reliant on his handler, and loves to be loved by kids!

This is the kind of pony who would live in your pocket if you let him, and wants nothing more than to be everyone's best friend - horse or human! In fact, no one really gets a choice in being this social butterfly's friend (not that anyone has complained πŸ˜‰).

Last year at Colac Show he was taken in the Country Kids Ring having not met his rider or handler before, and did not put a hoof out of line all day for his beginner rider! It was truly as if he'd been piloting kids around the ring for years.

We can see him excelling equally as a pony club or show superstar - or do it all! He will give his hoof a turn at whatever you ask of him.

It's truly hard to find a fault with this pony, we have seen zero dirt and even with his cheeky spark he is always easy and respectful to handle, even for kids.

He does sometimes show some nervousness on the ground if he thinks someone is upset with him, and is sometimes a little head shy.

These moments are now few and far between, and he has never shown any pull back, bolt, or even true spook.

He will catch you in the paddock, ties all day, loads first time in the float, is easy to rug, feet, great to wash, and is fantastic foat bait and company out and about for other horses, not stressing if they come and go.

'Little' Beau as he is known around Fairfield has been with us longer term having a full re-set and furthering his skill set. At first unsure under saddle he has absolutely FLOURISHED and we are so proud of him.

Little Beau would do best in a horsey home to continue developing his under saddle career in a way that allows his confidence to continue to shine. We would be happy placing Beau with a beginner child on lead, more capable child of any age, or small teen rider.

Off lead Beau does still require a rider with a good seat and quiet hands, he's not yet had the miles for a beginner without assistance - however does not take advantage of his riders as they come off lead. As his rider developed their skill we believe Beau would transition off lead with them.

Pictured is also some of Beau's photos of showing as a youngster where he achieved incredible feedback from judges and countless Supreme titles including at State and National Titles.

There is nothing (aside from a bath and possibly a hair cut) stopping him from doing it again - and nothing other than putting on the gear and getting in the ring to stop him starting to do it under saddle πŸ₯°

Beautiful Cleo has just blossomed 🌸

Can you believe this is just her fourth ever ride!? Cleo is an ex-trotter, and has already found moments of beautiful balance and even canter under saddle.

The luxury we have with our own projects is time, and sometimes with other priorities they do go longer between sessions.

Often this actually does them the world of good, as they get plenty of thinking time. Doesn't this just go to show what a good foundation truly does for a horse.

Cleo is 9yo, 15.3hh, and will be looking for a home of her own very soon! Keep your eyes on this lovely lady. Expressions of Interest welcomed.

Sweet young man Oreo doing some strength training and proprioception today.

Pole work has a multitude of benefits for our equine friends and being a low impact way to build topline is one of the main ones in our eyes, especially for young ponies.

❄️❄️ COLD WEATHER COMING ❄️❄️

During the Autumn and Winter months we ask that horses coming in for training stays please come with a light weight rug, and heavier weight rug to accomodate all rugging needs. Rugging and rug changes are provided twice daily or as needed.

This also helps us with grooming needs as horses don't come in caked in mid after having too much fun in the rain πŸ™ˆ

We also have a lovely all weather surface this year, with arena lights going up in the near future to allow us to continue to provide lessons and training rides through the thick of winter!

A very late post about Spartan from last weekend, he handled himself very well in a busy environment and worked very well in his first few classes, ultimately getting too tired in the deep sand by the end of the day so we let him finish.

He received some lovely comments from the judges, especially complimenting his gallop, and received a couple of seconds against a refreshingly full field of galloways.

Kenneths Girl got dragged out of the paddock on the weekend to support the Standardbred classes at the Gisborne Pony Club Show, couldn't have asked for better from her considering her very little preparation beforehand!

⚠️ WARNING ⚠️
Boring content ahead 🀣

First passenger, and first wander for starter Cleo the STB today. Just as we believe it should be - it was entirely uneventful!

You can really see with a horse like Cleo how much they are really processing and thinking when they first start carrying a rider. Cleo wasn't sure how to place her legs, despite being even and balanced on the lunge. Even when well prepped, it is a big adjustment for any horse.

In typical standie fashion, she was releasing those feelings by getting mouthy with the bit and doing some "wub wubs" with her lips. (Standie people know this move! πŸ˜‰)

So slow and steady, with plenty of brain breaks, and ending the ride short and sweet is the best way for her.

She will go away and process this, and next time, she will have a positive experience to look back on.

Slaters Lake Golden Sapphire is our newest permanent resident, as has been going from strength to strength!

Sapphire had had one foal for her breeder, and was then lightly started by her next family and hadn't done much for a while.

Zaehl couldn't resist giving her a makeover and bringing her to her first show just a week after bringing her home.

Since then she has also had her first canters under saddle, first ridden outing - where her first rider was a kiddo who pinched her while I rode her pony, and has even already been in a country kids ring with her old kiddo who has also been riding her in lessons!

This pony is truly worth her weight in gold, and has quickly settled and taken to work here at Fairfield. We hope to see her start her saddle career in the rings this year, and may even have a cheeky dabble in pleasure harness driving!

Before Suzie the reigning queen of Fairfield was Fairfield Illyasviel!

Long time followers will remember this darling little thoroughbred who in many ways launched Fairfield. One of the most quirky and special horses we have ever known.

Today, Lily has gone off to her first owner who has very generously offered her a retirement home πŸ’—

Illyasviel was on track to go into a can when she was bought, and given a second chance at life. Her owner trusted us as very new trainers to take her on, and Sebastian fell head over heels for this unassuming bay scraggly creature who first arrived. We decided to keep her!

Illyasviel quickly blossomed, and became a very competitive and successful Open Show hack, despite us discovering she had previously fractured her pelvis, and that injury had also caused a curve to her spine.

With an exercise plan, the help of 'Auntie Michelle' (Michelle's Canine and Equine Body Therapy) and Steve (Equine Align) She was kept in fantastic shape.

Lily has had the BEST work ethic of any horse we have ever had, and truly loved to work and show. She even went on to become a successful junior's mount in the show ring.

Illyasviel has done so much for us, and we are so honored to have called her ours. She had shown us it was time to put away the saddle, and we are so happy that she will be returning home to her old friends to live out her days being spoilt.

We will miss having you in the paddocks princess πŸ‘Έ

Here's a behind the scenes laugh for you of the kind of "kid testing" we try in the kids pony training packages πŸ™ˆπŸ€£

Think about all of the things kids ponies get exposed to, shouting, giggling, waving, playing games, unbalanced riding, transitions with little preparation, the list goes on!

Not all of this was new to Barbie, but like many ponies a rider falling off the first time was a bit spooky! This was only Barbie's second exposure from a trot, and as you can see, she already got the idea it was nothing to worry about.

These are all things that are big asks for horses and ponies, and something that will need a kind and patient introduction to set a pony up for success.

Well done Barbie! What a well natured pony 🐴
