DREAM of Falling Creek Ranch – auction finishes 7pm Thursday 19th June. Follow this link for the auction https://fallingcreekranch.co.nz/for-sale/

Current Highest Bid $5000 M Robinson

19 year old Bay Mare

1/2 Clydesdale 1/2 Thoroughbred Dam and Sire unknown

15.1 1/2 hands (156cm) home measured

Dream couldn’t have a more apt name, she is one of our best horses, everyone who rides her, loves her! She gets ridden many times each week and will leave a massive hole in our business but unfortunately because of our very hilly terrain, we feel it is best for Dream if she has an easier life now. We have owned her since 2021.

She has an incredibly sweet, calm, quiet nature, She is a great all round horse and has been used for beginner, special needs to confident rider lessons in contained and open paddock situations, farm and beach treks and she does all our adult multi day trek camps, where we do a 5 hours trek one day and muster cattle on the second day. She is also used for our 4 day kids and teen camps. This horse makes any rider look good, she has a nice trot and smooth canter and has taught many people how to trot and canter well. She has done quite a few cowboy challenges and handles most obstacles. Confident with jumps

Easy to catch. Dream sometimes reacts to being tied up so we leave the rope over the rail, she always just stands there until you come back for her. She has never bolted or really misbehaved in any way. She is good to trim (we don’t shoe but she was shod by her previous owner) Has been floated to the beach many times in an angle load truck and angle load float for beach treks, she loads well but does tend to rush out. Good to cover.

Dream has had some issues with runny poo the last year or so, but this doesn’t seem to effect her in any way. We have found feeding her beet, cool fed, fibrezy and a scoop of minerals, along with hay and longer grass has helped her gut settle down.

It will be very sad for us to see her go. Located Wanganui.

Our horse Thor is for sale. Trade Me pulled our auction so here is a link to the new auction https://fallingcreekranch.co.nz/for-sale/

Thor of Falling Creek Ranch
Age unknown. We were told he was born 2014 when we bought him in 2018 but according to his teeth more like 20.
Clydesdale Cross Dam and Sire unknown
15 hands (154cm) home measured

Thor has a beautiful calm nature, he is the easiest horse to ride, his biggest fan’s are beginner and intermediate riders and return to riding adults as he has such an even temperament and is Mr dependable. Even if other horses around him trot or canter away he is happy to keep walking. He can be ridden in a rope halter. He is a great all round horse and has been used for beginner, special needs to confident rider lessons in contained and open paddock situations, farm and beach treks often with people who have not ridden before, and he does all our adult multi day trek camps, where we do a 5 hours trek one day and muster cattle on the second day. He is also used for our 4 day kids and teen camps. He has done cowboy challenges with kids, teen and adults. He is not enthusiastic about jumping.

He is good with his feet, although some clients find his back right foot hard to pick up. Good with being trimmed. Thor always comes through the winters in good nic. Our horses are run in a herd environment, out on our hilly farm, uncovered, barefoot. They get grass and hay in the winter and a hard feed after a long trek.

Thor gets ridden many times each week and will leave a massive hole in our business but unfortunately because of our very hilly terrain, we feel it is best for Thor if he has an easier life now. We have owned him since 2018.
