Good girl Via 💜

A nice win for the mare bred and raced by Joan Egan under a very tactful ride from Wiremu Pinn.

A big well done to the team at home🙌 and thanks to the team Saddlery Warehouse Cambridge & Tauranga for sponsoring the race and supporting racing.

Ready to Run 2026: the Riverrock Farm Mix.

Last year we went back to the drawing board. There were a couple of horses in our draft we weren’t completely happy with condition-wise for the sales, given the shorter lead in. So we sat down with Dunstan Horsefeeds and built our own custom Riverrock Farm mix.

We couldn’t be more pleased with the results so far.

One thing that has stayed the same is our BetaVet NZ program. Gastri-tech and Prepare are our go-to combo in the lead-up to the sales and while the horses are on the grounds. They keep them eating, calm and not missing a beat. We think it was a big part of why Mateo travelled so well when he headed across the ditch for the Ready2Race sales too.

On the custom feed front, we can’t recommend Dunstan enough. As far as we know, no one else in New Zealand offers this. You’ll put real thought into it, but the process was easy, you get direct access to their full-time nutritionist, and honestly it’s a lot of fun developing a feed that’s your own. Get in touch with David and the team to build yours.

Or just order ours. You can buy the Riverrock Farm mix directly from Dunstan. We’re not about keeping secrets. We’re about supporting the industry as a whole, so if our feed can help someone else, we’re all for it.

Quick out of the gate. Big stride. More to come. 🐎

Out of hundreds of horses in the catalogue, Jose was the first we put our hand up for in the ring, and he’s developed in all the right ways since. In Chad’s eyes, he’s a genuinely classy c**t.

🔹 Breezed up in 10.88

🔹 Sharp out the gates, when having an education jump-out

🔹 Opens up to 7.40 m per stride & turns over at 2.44 strides per second at 60 km/h

🔹 Equimetre profile of a miler

🔹 Still green, with plenty more to come

A family on the improve. 📈 Jose is by Per Incanto, a top-five NZ sire for four straight seasons who consistently produces Group winners. He’s out of a young mare whose only runner to date, his full brother The Enchanter, is already a two-time winner.

Hear from Chad on why he thinks the best is still ahead of this c**t. 🎥

Linky’s expert opinion 🐴

At Equifest on Saturday, our resident 9-year-old horsewoman Lincoln decided Boblee was feeling a little too fresh, and that maybe Mum and Dad don’t quite know what they’re doing with his feed 😂

So she took matters into her own hands and went straight to the expert: Gretel, the equine nutritionist at Dunstan Horse Feeds.

Here’s what Linky found out:

If your horse sweats a lot, don’t forget extra salts! This is really important going into summer ☀️
If your pony is a bit on the hot side but still needs to be well conditioned, look their best and handle a big workload, Dunstan Low GI is a really good option

So Boblee might be getting a menu change… 👀

If you’ve got a pony who runs a bit hot, this might help you too!

How good is it to have someone like Gretel on hand to talk through specialised feeds? We’re really lucky to have Dunstan supporting our team, and we’ve worked with Gretel to develop our very own custom Riverrock Mix 🙌

A huge thanks to the Dunstan team for an awesome tent full of things for the kids to do too. Linky didn’t want to leave!

Eight months ago, a group of people took a chance on us and a young horse. Today, that chance paid off. 🐎

When we bought Mateo (Pierata x La Sicilina) for NZ$66,000, we saw something in him. Our Ready to Run syndicate trusted our judgement and came along for the ride, sharing every step of his preparation with us.

Today at Inglis Ready 2 Race sale for A$450,000 (around NZ$550,000).

A huge thank you to our team. The education, polish, care and attention they put into this horse showed in how he travelled, how well conditioned he arrived, and how beautifully he handled himself over there. That doesn’t happen by accident, and we couldn’t be prouder of them.

And congratulations to his new connections, Liam Howley. You couldn’t have found a cooler horse. We’ll be following him closely and can’t wait to see what he does next.
