This magnificent throughbred mare is such an exciting addition to our stud. She is simply breathtaking and admired by everyone who sees her.

Ellesion JM (Elsa) – Retired From Breeding

2011, 168cm, dark bay, ¾ Throughbred, ¼ Clydesdale
Sire – Brigham ( ½ clyde, ½ tb)
Dam – Legally White xx  (I Conquer)

Elsa 1 week from foaling

This lovely mare was bred by Wickham Park Stud in Christchurch.  Originally destined for a dressage career due to her very correct and elevated movement a change in circumstances for her previous owner meant a decision was made to put her in foal and then circumstances once again forced her previous owner to put her on the market.  I was very fortunate to purchase her as an in foal 5 year old to Rohdinger.

Elsa as a yearling

Everyone who meets this mare falls in love with her.  She loves all people and will stand for hours getting cuddles.  She adores children and seems to know to be soft and gentle with them.  She has the best temperament of any horse I have owned.  Nothing is a problem to her and she is perfect to handle in everyway.  She is a handsome mare of medium bone, and her movement is very good, certainly well above average for her type and breeding. After four stunning foals she has been retired from breeding and is now my riding horse. We adore her and she has a home forever here. Just the best girl!

Smitten xx

2010, 165cm, dark bay, throughbred
Sire – Postponed (Summer Squall)
Dam – Romantic Glow (Orientate)

Smitten was bred by Westbury Stud.  She failed miserably in her first career as a racehorse, running dead last in every race entered.  She was purchased by Elite Dressage Horses at the Bloodstock sales.   EDH then put her through Hanoverian studbook classification where she was granted Elite Candidate status with an overall score of 8.  After looking for several months for a suitable second mare I was very fortunate to purchase this lovely girl as an empty broodmare in July 2017.

Smitten is an absolute sweetheart.   She has a soft and gentle personality, loves cuddles and attention and tries so hard to please.  She is very level headed and just a pleasure to have around.  A very pretty throughbred mare, she has perfect conformation and elevated movement with incredible hock action.

Sabrina Inc

2013, 161 cm NZWB Chestnut Mare
Sire – Salient (Samarant/Oldenburg)
Dam- Royal Eowyn (Royal Diamond/Bristol Channel xx)

This lovely NZ warmblood studbook mare was bred by Kay Vercoe.  I purchased her as a broodmare prospect due to her outstanding pedigree and lovely classic warmblood movement.  Both her sire and dam are the products of imported frozen semen.  Sire Salient is by Samarant (Sandro Hit/Brentano II) and Dam Royal Eowyn is by Royal Diamond (Rubinstein/Inschallah x).  Salient sired only 3 foals as a 2year old colt before being gelded and going onto become a champion show hack himself.  He also showed significant jumping promise.  One of the other foals (Surprice) he sired was Champion Hunter at 2020 HOY. 

She was originally sold as a foal but received  a bad kick to the knee as a weanling and was vet checked as consequently having carpal changes that may impact a high performance career .  

This mare is such a sweetheart, she has the kindest easiest temperament.  She has lovely floating movement and with the depth of pedigree it is exciting to see what she will produce.

Dam sire – Royal Diamond

Grandsire Samarant (Sandro Hit/Brentano II)

Hold Me Ransom (Kate)

2006, 167cm, Red Bay Rabicano Throughbred mare
Sire – Handsome Ransom (Red Ransom)
Dam – Oh So Precious (The Jogger)
 
 
Kate is very kindly on breeding lease to Whiterocks Stud from Sally Cooper-Johnston of Silver Linings Equestrian in Cust. Kate has had 3 stunning warmblood foals for Sally, all of which she has retained as future riding horses for herself.
She raced for three years, 23 races and $16,000 prize money before being retired due to a tendon injury.  She was a stable favourite and was sent to Sally to be rehabbed and produced as a riding horse with a view to being rehomed, but Sally fell in love with her and was unable to part with her.
Kate is a  striking, big Thoroughbred mare, she has remarkable muscling with a beautiful shoulder neck set and round hindquarters.   She has very elevated and correct movement and just floats along.   Temperament wise she is just a big pet, she adores people and attention and is easy in every way to handle.  A dominant mare in the paddock she is the boss of my small herd.
