EC Roll the Dice (Rua)

15.3hh (unmeasured) 5yo Gizzy station bred mare

Rua is a beautiful grey mare that I’ve had from an unhandled 2yo and she has been an absolute pleasure to bring on!
She has had the best start,backed as a 4yo and has had a huge variety of riding including lots of riding on the station.
She has an amazing brain with just the perfect amount of sass!
Sadly I’m offering her up 4 s@le as she needs to be out there having fun and she’s wasted in my paddock as I can’t get her out as much as I would like and shes bored!
She has so much potential that I’m excited for her future. She would excel in the show jumping ring or as an eventer.

All foundations are installed, she has three lovely balanced paces, soft and responsive to all aids. Don’t have to ride her every day, easy to get on and go, she is a confident young mare that gives 110% always.

Rua has had limited competition outings, but has dabbled in a few different ones including been on the hunt field, been to a couple of over night treks, only just did her first 60cm full round of sj and just had her first show, where she placed in every flat class and tried very hard in the jumping doing 80cm white gates (completely threw her in the deep end) but handled it like a champ, she is brave and confident and no fill is to scary!

Rua has beautiful ground manners, she’s not a mareish mare, no dirt, easy to catch, float, shoe, ride halter bare back, ride alone or company or take her mates and leave her at home alone.

Home is super important, she is super special, I just want the best match for her❤️

No beginners or nervous nellys!

✨ Looking for a Unicorn First Ridden Pony ✨

Searching for a kind, confidence-building pony to help a keen 6-year-old rider progress.

12hh - 12.2hh
Forward moving but not too forward
Kind, soft mouth, safe and willing
No buck, rear, bolt, or nasty surprises – we know ponies aren’t robots, but safety is the priority

Miss 6 is a just passed her D Certificate level rider and is now asking a bit too much of her beloved 20-year-old Welsh pony. Looking for a new best friend to take her from trotting wee cross poles to confidently cantering and jumping.

The pony will be loved and used for pony club, ribbon days, the odd show, farm adventures, and lots of hacking with Mum. Happy with something a bit older that’s been there, done that.

🏡 Experienced farm home where the pony will want for nothing.
💰 Orangish budget.
📸 Pic of current pony for attention.
📍Based in Taupo.

Please PM if you know of a special wee unicorn! 🦄

Looking on behalf for a schoolmaster…

Where are all the cool been there done that ponies??
I’m after a pony for a 12yo who is a great wee rider that is coming of her first pony, we are after something that’s safe and sound that can give her a good experience and build more confidence in the competition circle.

Pony needs to be
✅14-14.2hh

✅Jumping 60cm-1mrt
✅Eventing experience
✅Good to float,catch,farrier etc
❌No buck/bolt/rear
❌No spicy horses
❌No young/green horses
❌No clingy/neurotic horses

Rider will be going for her C certificate next season and wanting to climb the lader, and do more eventing,show jumping,show hunter etc

An amazing 5 ⭐️ home, own property that backs onto a forest so lots of hacking, big sister also rides, so other horses on the property 🙌

Wow‼️ I knew he wouldnt last long at that price but Louie has sold to a perfect home within just a couple hours‼️

Looking for a new post code 🏕️

WFS Love Bug aka Louie-
Beautiful Chestnut Welsh x ,7yo gelding.
Home measured at 13hh
Louie is by WFS Benediction out of WFS Secret Love.
Louie is going to be the coolest kids pony in time, he’s a beautiful red that will look amazing in the show ring!
I got him as an unhandled stallion 2 years ago, he has been gelded and professionally broken in, he has been out hacking, gone to the beach, couple outtings to pony club grounds etc but he is still green and I dont have a rider for him so hes currnety just sitting in the paddock!

I was hoping our 6yo daughter would go onto him but unfortunately she doesnt have the confidence to ride him as he is still green, hes senstive and abit of a scaredy-cat….he has an absolutely beautiful nature and he is amazing with her, I trust him 100% on the ground, she can catch him, lead him and run around with him and hes so gentle and good with her, he will stand and be groomed all day he doesnt have a dirty or nasty bone in his body… but in the saddle he needs more milage.

He needs a good horsey home with a family that have older confident kids that can give him the time he needs in the saddle to become the ultimate kids pony OR go to a show home that wants to show him in hand for a bit too!

Excellent to catch, trim, float, pony, can ride in company or alone. Easy keeper!

Ive been putting this decision off for ages because he is special to us but hes just wasted in the paddock here when he should be in the show ring!

So as a lot of you know I have located to Taupo, loving it down here, but I do really miss all my clients from up North 😔…We are living on this amazing farm with these amazing views, lots of awesome places to ride and just acres and acres, very lucky!! It has been amazing to take the small break and while working on the farm I’ve really been enjoying concentrating on my own young horses. I will be looking at taking on clients horses again soon down here. Sale on behalf, green brokes, schooling/milage, let me know how I can be of a help to you and your four legged best friend and I’m always happy to accommodate to you and your horses needs 🫶🤗 send me a PM if you would like more info 👌

❤️She has found a lovely home ❤️

🏠looking for a new postcode 🏠

DonnerDash
4yo, currently standing about 16hh, Registered Warmblood mare by Donner Regal.
Breeding in photos below.

I started her at the start of year and a couple of sits on her in the round pen but my poor time has meant she’s done more sitting in the paddock growing and maturing than anything else, (which hasn’t been a bad thing for her really)
Finding a new home for her unbroken as she will need to be started over for a refresher and be backed, she doesn’t have a bad or dirty bone in her body, she is a beautiful sweet mare that thrives attention and cuddles..has been easy to work with, beautiful and soft, respectful, great ground manners, well handled, has had a full set of shoes but currently barefoot.

Beautiful natured mare that sadly I just don’t have the time for her due to us moving and having me working on the farm, this mare deserves someone’s one on one attention and needs to start her career with someone that’s confident and kind to get the best out of her.

This has been a huge decision because she has huge potential and she will go far but I have to let her go. She would make a lovely all rounder!

Great to shoe, float, always first to the gate, no vices.

🏡‼️‼️Found the perfect home‼️‼️🏡

Gilly 11yo 15.3hh Friesian x TB mare

Winter project for someone to bring on.

Gilly has been out for the past 2years and is being bought back in slowly.

Very sweet mare with absolutely no dirt!

Good basic schooling, easy to hack out in company or alone.

Has been out trekking on weekend treks with 80+ horses, forest rides, beach and she’s great to get on and go…

Although Gilly has no dirt, she does need a confident, kind rider. Not suitable for beginners.
I could see her with a rider where they grow together up through the levels.

Gilly has jumped with her previous owner and has hunted, but requires some confidence building in this area
Happy to discuss this more with serous buyers.

Videos available

Gilly is priced lower to find the right rider to bring this mare on and to bring out her full potential. Very low 🍊

‼️New post code found 🥰‼️

Meet Rocky, this awesome dude is looking for his a new postcode.🏡

10yo chestnut gelding, home measured at 15.2hh, stationbred cross, a girls best friend 🥰

Rocky is a sweet dude, with no dirt, he has been an absolute pleasure to have in and around the stable.
Hasn’t done a lot, perfect to get on and go, would suit someone to hack around the farm, forest, beach, just have fun, low level competitions, pops over anything you put him at, hacks alone or in company, not a spooky type.

Excellent to catch, farrier, loves the attention,loves to be fussed over.
