Shame she's so wild 😜

Patchwork Esméralda
2.5yo filly, assessed Elite with ACE as a yearling.

Sire: Patchwork Royal Etiquette (ET) who is by Royal Oak 11 and out of Sheer Etiquette, both parents GP CDI

Dam: Remi Wildflower HHSA by Wolkentanz I and out of an Anamour mare.
Wildflower was also an FEI horse and has a daughter also very successfully competing at FEI level as a young horse

Esmé has been retained as my next ridden horse. Can't wait to start her, though looks like it will be an easy job ❤️

**RESULTS FOR VIRTUAL COMPETITION**

Well friends, that’s a wrap on our first online dressage competition, showcasing 22 riders across a mix of breeds, ages, and everything in between.

At the top end, riders did a spectacular job demonstrating the fundamentals: rhythm, relaxation, consistency, straightness, and a clear push from behind, along with a consistent connection in front of the vertical, a key factor in achieving the winning scores.

Mid-field riders showed flashes of this, just not always all at once (we’ve all been there).

And further down the leaderboard… well, you gave me a good laugh. From unexpected rabbit-related explosions, to centrelines that were more of a “general direction suggestion”, there were plenty of “oh, oops” moments. But super pleased that everyone gave it a go, regardless of where they were at. It's all for fun at the end of the day, and plenty of feedback to be given!

We also had one rider casually turn up ba****ck and bridleless... yes, really... and absolutely own it. A standout ride, earning the highest rider score of the day with a 7.6. Traditional dressage is a bit finicky about tack requirements... but me? I will score you better for rocking up with less tools than you need, proving how good your aids are!

TOP 3 RIDERS:

1st PLACE: NAOMI MASHFORD RIDING GWARRYEN JIMINY CRICKET 70.8%
2nd PLACE DEBBIE JOSEPH RIDING TILLY 67.9%
3rd ROBYN WARR RIDING FINE THREAD 67.5%

Fun little throwback...

Circa probably 1999. A very young me with Milo. Not sure why we called him Milo given his colour was all wrong... but anyway. You could say it's been in my blood since the beginning!

**SOLD**

"Rosemount Chocolate" (Choccy)
2023 / Reg Welsh B / Gelding / 13.1h
Sire: Tarragon Park Majestic
Dam: Rosemount Stud Strawberrie
Registration number: C-11269
Microchipped

DASHING GOOD LOOKS, SUPER MOVEMENT, IN YOUR POCKET TEMPERAMENT... READY TO START IN SPRING!

Choccy is a seriously cool young pony with all the right ingredients for a standout future.

He is naturally inquisitive and people-oriented, preferring to investigate new situations rather than shy away. Forward-thinking and willing, he combines a sensible brain with a fun, engaging work ethic. He will be the super special, goofy pony your kids talk about when they are grown up.

Choccy is confident in the following:

- Catch and lead
- Tie (hard and to string). Will stay while you walk off and forget what you were doing
- Floats like a rock and walks straight in, hard ties without issue
- Picks up feet
- Easy to rug, doesn't get concerned with the on / off motions
- Has worn pony saddle and girth
- Lunges both ways at walk and trot, with the occasional canter when he feels like offering it
- Desensitised naturally to whatever we have tried (umbrella, flag, bag on stick, pool noodles etc) Took zero effort on our behalf to achieve this, just the sort of pony he is
- Has been on obstacle bridge

He has really impressive movement with a lovely open shoulder, heaps of ground cover in the trot. And the canter he naturally and willingly throws clean flying changes when changing direction, so someone challenged in the height department who is thinking of a Dressage prospect would appreciate this! (think Warmblood type but only 13ish hands!)

He has enough bone that you won't feel like you're sitting atop a twig, but not too much that he's wider than he is tall.

This pony is a real legend and genuinely loves to be involved. His general attitude is "yeah, whatever" with just a dash of ADHD sprinkled in there to keep things fun and interesting. He's the sort of pony who will make you laugh, not cry.

It has taken us a little longer to advertise him than we should have, because he's such a cool character that we haven't really wanted to see him go, but the time has come to see him off to his next adventure.

Choccy is free from vices including windsuck, weave, fence walk. He was gelded in October last year and shows no residual c**ty tendencies with other horses.

Would suit a capable junior, confident adult, or anyone wanting a quality young pony to produce and enjoy. He's fancy enough for the show ring, or fun and sensible enough for other disciplines... the perfect low maintenance and high reward pony for either you (if you're short enough) or your confident kid to enjoy.

He probably won't be a plodder for your beginner kid who can't rise trot, but for a show home with a few kids of various ages, he'll be an excellent long term and reliable partner, whilst showing off a few ribbons along the way.

A quick reminder: Choccy is unbroken to saddle and will be ready to start in spring.

He is injury and blemish free, ready to go.

⛽ ⛽ If fuel prices are the reason you’re not getting lessons right now… read this. ⛽ ⛽

✨ VIRTUAL COACHING (PIVO) ✨

Let’s be honest. Getting to a lesson is harder and more expensive than the lesson itself.

So riders cut back… or stop altogether.
And that’s when progress stalls.

Here’s the fix 👇

✔️ Ride from home. Your arena, your setup
✔️ No float, no fuel, no wasted hours
✔️ Stay consistent without the logistical headache
✔️ Flexible times that actually suit you

You’re still getting real coaching, in real time, just more efficient.

🎥 Have your ride filmed during the lesson
Get live corrections + keep the footage to review after.

No guessing.
No “I think that felt better?”
Just actual progress.

As long as you’ve got internet, I don’t care where you ride. Arena, paddock, beach… send me the link and we’re away.

Most riders say it feels the same as in-person: you hear me in your ear like always… you just can’t remember which corner I’m sitting in.

I also coach interstate riders regularly: groundwork, float training, flatwork.

**SOLD**

✨ BUCKWELL PARK MUSIC (Demi) ✨
Proven Broodmare | Exceptional Producer
✨ IN FOAL TO BEXTER (IMP) | DUE OCTOBER 2026 ✨

A rare opportunity to secure a consistently elite-producing mare with a temperament to match — and realistically, a Bexter foal alone is worth more than her asking price. You’re essentially getting a young, super fertile and rideable mare for free!

With Bexter now sold and potentially gelded, there will be very limited foals available by him moving forward, making this pregnancy even more valuable.
💰 Bexter’s service fee alone was $1,650...!

“Demi” is a 9-year-old, 14–14.1hh Palomino Welsh x WB mare, who crosses exceptionally well with GRP sires, consistently producing modern, athletic, rideable types.

She is a proven, uncomplicated breeder, going in foal easily to both chilled and frozen, and has produced three outstanding foals by three different sires, all of whom have been flashy, eye-catching types with plenty of white and presence. Her latest foal is a very "in your pocket" type and even approached the fence to engage with a human toddler a few days ago!

Demi is straightforward in every way; easy to handle, float, scan, trim, and manage, with a quiet, sensible temperament that she reliably passes on to her progeny. She doesn’t need help foaling or any extra effort. Literally a set and forget breeder, super low maintenance... hardly needs feeding either!

Her movement is above average, with an active hind and open shoulder. Demi is broken in, and there is no reason she couldn’t return to work once her 2026 foal is weaned.

Sire: Vancouver Park Cardeau (By Carbine) 72x Royal Champion, 1.30m jumper and Advanced Dressage Champion
Dam: Buckwell Park Harmony (Kylandee Tango)
Breed Society: Welsh Pony & Cob Society Australia

🌟 Progeny Highlights:
• Eden Park Nonnette (x Numero Uno IFS): Elite Assessed
• Eden Park Finsternis (x Numerus Clausus IMP): Elite assessed, topped NSW scores with 86.75% and topped ACE Australian Sports Pony rankings
• Patchwork Brontide (x Bexter IMP): Extremely quiet, flashy c**t with a beautiful, straightforward temperament... was due to be ACE assessed this year but the tour was cancelled, but bet he would have been Elite like the others!

⭐ BEXTER (IMP) — SIRE OF CURRENT FOAL, FULL SIBLING DUE IN OCTOBER!
• 14hh Licensed Lewitzer Stallion & ACE Sports Pony (75% GRP)
• Licensed in Germany with an outstanding 8.6 overall score
• Champion at the Prussendorf German Sports Pony Licensing (Brandenburg-Anhalt)
• Multiple wins and championships in Australian pony dressage to Novice level
• Champion Horse & Champion Pony Novice
• Placed 3rd overall in PSI Dressage & Jumping “With the Stars” (Performance Pony)
• Training Medium with clean flying changes, ready for Elementary
• Also confidently jumping and cross training — exceptionally versatile, trainable, and rideable, including ba****ck!

Demi consistently produces quality, trainability, and marketable offspring, making her an ideal addition to a serious breeding program.

🗓 Due October 2026
