Cardonald Stud

I would like to introduce Ripper, 4 year old Gelding by Bizzie Canoodling and out of Moana one of the foundation mare's at the previous Rednalhgih Stud.
Rip came to us as a 2 year old with the job of being a mate to my last foal that was ready to be weaned. Then a project for the girl's.

He has been to school for a few weeks at different stages. First outing Winter Olympics, I thought Aggie was mad but ..... he has a very work man like attitude and gets on with the job. Yesterday he had super outing at Whanganui SH.

Not sure what the future holds for Ripper but it's so good for the girl's to have a project to play with. 🦄😎💖

It's been a challenging few days, after the recent storm. The power has just been restored, both girl's enjoyed a couple of extra days at home due to school closures. The farm has had significant damage like many around us.
We took the opportunity to get a schooling session with Teddy, Waimakariri Summers Gold He is available to a top home looking for a talented L3 Dressage Pony working towards FEI 💖
