EOI - 12month on property lease due to rider going overseas
Located - Williamtown, NSW

Lad is a 15.2hh thoroughbred gelding. 10 years old. Very quiet easy going gelding, great to handle and quiet to ride. Can be taken out on his own, or in a group with no issues. Does not require lunging before riding. Has potential to be a serious dressage prospect. Has had some experience jumping, potential to go further. Has been on several outings with no problems, to dressage days, jump day, clinics and trail riding. He is good to float, shoe, clip and worm and has absolutely no nasties (bolt, buck, kick, bite). Lad would also make a hunter/hack prospect and is eligible for equimillions later this year. No beginners.

If you think you may be the right fit, please message me to discuss. I also have a lot more photos and videos

I am very grateful and I am sure all our agistees are too .
A dry arena to ride in today, a dam which filled up over night from half full to full , and paddocks which whilst wet , are draining due to the many drains we have dug over the past 20 years.
With over 130ml of rain our flat property is doing incredibly well, serving the horses and their owners.

Hey horse girl…
It’s okay if you have to take a rest.
It’s okay if you had the longest day ever, you’re running on 5 cups of coffee, you’re sitting in traffic, you’re at your wits end and trying to get to the barn before the sun goes down…. And you start to think maybe you should just go straight home instead.

It’s okay if you are getting over an illness, or an injury, you’re having a bad pain day, or your mental health isn’t in the best spot and you’re thinking… I don’t want to go to the barn today.

It’s okay if you have had a full day at work, chasing kids and adults, completing school projects, work projects, and your horses are with you at home and the barn chores get done but not much else.

Your barn can be your favorite place, and you can still need a 𝒓𝒆𝒔𝒕 𝒅𝒂𝒚.

Your horse doesn’t want to see you rushed, in a bad mood, sick or weak, or hurting and stumbling. Your horse wants to see you healthy, happy, and ready to give him or her all of your attention.

You don’t need to be everything to everybody every second of every day.

If your body is telling you to rest, listen to it… every day looks different 🖤

Encantador horses are showing their pearly white smiles after a day with dentist Ebony from Ebony Dashwood Equine Dental Service. We can absolutely recommend Ebony. She is well qualified with BAEDT/ BEVA / BVDA Qualified FdSc Equine Dentistry training.
Fabulous dentist using both hand and power tools with a written report on the teeth and …., so much more economical than others.
Poppy got in on the act today and was able to check teeth under Ebony’s guidance.
A long day but a great day.
Thanks Ebony and thanks Poppy. There’s a lot of smiling ponies tonight. !
