SAARA’S GEM
5yr old 13.2hh Egyptian Arabian mare

Gen arrived at our facility 8 weeks ago to be broken in and onsold due to a family tragedy. She has been an easygoing breaker with no major vices under saddle. She is good to catch, rug, wash, tie up, float, handle, paddock with or without other horses, is familiar with the craziness of children and respects electric fencing.

Since her breaking in she has done mostly trail riding, including riding from home down the roads and becoming familiar with all types of traffic. She has ridden alone or in groups. Will happily lead or follow and loves to be out and about.

Although Gem is a quiet mare she is best suited to someone who has experience. Given her ridden career only being a few months long she is still green and is a typical Arab so can pop in the odd shy. Whilst she has worn a bit and been mouthed she does have a very minor parrot mouth and therefore travels much more comfortably in a hackamore or halter.

She is fully up to date with worming, farrier and dentist.

Whilst we wait for her to find a new human her training , education and time in the saddle will continue.

Super quiet, sweet boy who will stand to be loved and cuddled on all day.
15.2hh 7yr old standardbred gelding
Good to wash, rug, float, shoe, with other horses, around feed, float to new locations and more.
Yanky was trialed for racing and deemed unsuitable so then came to us to be broken to saddle and begin his ridden career. Mostly he has done trail riding on our property, down the roads and floating out to different locations for riding. He has done a small amount of arena work but prefers to be on the trails.
He rides out well after time off, requires no preparation work and will happily lead or follow. Will step over logs, through creeks and climb up and down small banks with confidence.
He has a smooth trot for a standardbred and he was never taught to pace so canters well.
Absolutely not fussed by what happens on his back, you can stand up on him, ride backwards, ba****ck, forwards or slide of his bum and he will stand for it all.
Travels nicely on the bit and will work towards a frame easily.
Very sensible gelding whom is easy to have around and loves getting out and about.
Great after time off or if he is in inconsistent work.
Recently he went to an Aggistment centre as a trial for a new owner and was in a small paddock alone in a high activity environment and he was unsettled there with only arena work so we brought him back and continued on with him in hopes to find him a good trail riding or variety home.
He is up to date with hoof care, currently barefoot with boots being put on when ridden.
Was recently wormed and is a good doer so easy to keep.

Solid 15hh 8yr old grey stock horse mare.
Misty is a gentle horse who is good with kids, a great doer, familiar with dogs, farm animals, machinery, cars, good to be hosed, pick up her legs, with other horses, around feed and more.
Recently Misty came to our facility to be brought back into work after a few years off riding at no fault of her own and now they have decided to rehome her.
Since her arrival a few weeks ago she has been ridden in the yard, arena and on trails around our property and down the road. She will happily lead the way or follow behind another horse and quite enjoys being out on the trail.
Misty has been handled on the ground by individuals as young as 9 years old, including catching, grooming and many groundwork exercises.
Misty was a solid riding horse before her break who did lots of farm riding and was very confident in crossing all terrain but mostly she has just been a pleasure trail horse. Since her return to ridden work she has shown no signs of buck, bite or rear. She is a naturally forward moving horse, no silly behaviour but prefers to keep moving and loves to have a job. She can be nervous at times under saddle and thrives from a confident, soft rider who can support her and needs more time in the saddle to get back to the swing of things. Ideally she will be a great horse to suit any disciple for an experienced, confident rider. Currently requires no prep work before hopping on and is in work 3-4 times per week.
Misty can stand tied all day, floats well, good for the farrier and has a big will to please. She will make a fantastic horse for the right human.
Up to date with worming and hoof care.
All enquires welcome. Located carters ridge

10yo ~ 15hh ~ Arab gelding

Experienced open endurance horse - find him on aeraspace under “BIG HIRO”

Fantastic heart rates and knows the sport well. Great to shoe, clip and wash, with dogs, other horses and machinery. Regularly ridden down the road so is familiar with all kinds of traffic. Travels well, eats and drinks well, can ride alone or in company. He is easy to handle in all ways but is a typical Arab so does shy so ideally not suited to a beginner rider. Carries LWT well but he’s given no reason to think he can’t take MWT.

Is currently shod and in work, ready for a 40km at Murrumba.

I have hundreds of videos of him over the years if you’d like further information.

GEN - looking for a new home
6yr old Arabian mare - registered with papers

She came to thunder ridge to be broken in and seek a new home! This cutie is almost ready to find her new human.

Standing at just over 13hh makes her the perfect height for a small adult or a competent child. She’s Been ridden in yards, arenas and down the road on trail rides with groups of horses with no problems. Would make a fantastic pony club, trail rider or endurance horse.

Whilst she is sensible she is best suited to an experienced home as she is still green. Never shown any vices under saddle such as buck, bolt etc.
