Thomas (Tommy) joins the family extremely green under saddle with hopes to do up into a beautiful child’s pony soon. He will be for sale in the new future, so keep an eye out on this page!

Introducing the newest addition - “Eljetem” aka “Jet”

Jet is a 10yr old OTTB gelding who had a very successful racing career raking in over $256,000. I have purchased Jet with the intention of educating and finding a suitable home for him to live the rest of his life!

Currently he has proved very quiet and easy to handle under saddle with a d***y and willing attitude towards everything. Watch this space for a future sale!🥰

SS Daniel is really starting to find his feet and jump upwards, just needing a bit more experience under his belt🤍
Big thank you to my sponsor Taliro Photography for these images🥰

INTRODUCING: “Simples Stuff” (Daniel)

Danny is a 4yr 16.2hh OTTB which is the first of many TBs which I hope to produce this year. He’s been spelling since June 2021 and I purchased him on the 30th of December. He’s had almost three weeks of work and is showing great talent and attitude towards not only dressage, but jumping.

Watch this space for updates regarding him and his future sale☺️🤍
Thanks Taliro Photography for these awesome pictures!

Getting the team of two ready to compete in 2022!
Jackie and I headed out to XC school yesterday for the first time EVER and although it definitely showed, she was amazing as always🤍
Caesar had his first jump back since break as well this morning popping a 90-100 grid perfectly, working on accuracy with a short two stride combination.

Bring on 2022😎

Hot days call for early morning rides. It’s awesome to have all three ponies back into work over Christmas after their month long break. After rides, they all enjoy a sneaky post-breakfast snack under the trees or shade shed as a reward for their behaviour - whilst I’m left to clean out stables and get ready for the afternoon in the scorching heat🤪

LOOKING TO BUY:
Project Pony!!
Nothing over 14hh, preferably gelding but happy to look at mares. Nothing over 6yrs. Must be quiet and trainable as this it needs to be a child’s pony in the future. Green broken or unbroken is fine. Must be able to lead and tie up at the minimum.
I’m located in the Lockyer Valley, QLD but happy to travel to northern NSW.
Nothing over $2000.

Picture for attention only. Horse NOT for sale.

MEET THE 2022 TEAM:

1. Perfect Exchange (Jackie) - Owned by the amazing Petra, Jackie is the youngest of the horses and the only female. For a jumper she’s quite small, sitting at 15.3hh but her light build makes her look smaller. We are currently jumping up to 1.10m (although mostly sticking at 1 - 1.05m) with hopes to become consistent at this height by the end of the year. Im hoping to get her out to some dressage days too, as she works exceptional on the flat. Im very grateful for the opportunity to keep riding Jack into 2022.

2. Lujo King Caesar (Caesar) - Caesar has been ridden by me since he was a 3yr old and is the smallest horse of the team, at only 14hh. His colour makes him extremely visible out in public and you can normally find me “riding out the buck” before we enter the ring. He has the most character and is sure to put on a show. Currently, Caesar is competing in Elementary Dressage and up to 70cm showjumping. In my time in the jumping ring (4ish years), I can count the number of rails we’ve hit on one hand. Although a little special, I love owning this small pony.

3. Ramble Inn Ricochet (Rio) - Rio is the biggest of the team at 17.1hh, but is a gentle giant. Before diagnosed with injury, Rio and I had big plans to jump big tracks, although we only ever got to 90cm before this plan was ruined. In Jan 2021, x-rays showed that bones in his feet were completely shattered and chipped and that he should not be standing, let alone walking or jumping. Unfortunately he had to be immediately semi-retired and will never jump again. He now lives out his days as a paddock ornament and enjoys a light ride a few times a month. He has even made an appearance since in the dressage ring at Prep and Prelim levels.

I cannot wait for the 2022 season to begin! Thank you to my parents for the ever lasting support and Petra for allowing me to continue to have the ride on my favourite mare. Bring it on!!
