Happy Jack - Retained.
Purebred Gypsy Cob Gelding Sire: Coates Silver Lining Dam: SD Good Penny Age: Rising 4 years EMH: 14.1, perhaps 14.2hh Black Tobiano Jack is a beautiful pony with a big heart. Loves people, easy to do anything with. Very genuine and kind. Bonds extremely strongly to "his" person. Professionally started by Lisa Cramond. Jack loves ridden work, and is balanced, responsive, and enthusiastic about everything that is asked of him. No plodder, he enjoys moving, and is quite athletic. He is currently having a bit of a growth spurt and is turned out for a bit, and will be brought back into work soon. Will make a wonderful all-round fun horse for an adult. Being green, he needs an experienced rider, but in time would make a fabulous child's horse. |

Stirling Silver - Sold Purebred Gypsy Cob Stallion Silver Dapple Tobiano Dam: SD Gentle Annie Imp UK Sire: Coates Silver Lining Imp UK DoB: 10.11.18 PMMS1 Negative Height: Approx 15.1hh $18,000 Silver is something special. He possesses the sweet, kind, friendly nature that Gypsy Cobs are famous for. He loves people and attention, and is always polite to handle. Well conformed, he is correct and nicely put together. Moves beautifully. Has really elegant movement, with an exceptional trot and a big, ground covering stride. An absolute gentleman in every way, he’s a very easy, no dramas sweetheart who just wants to please. Is nice to his paddock mates, whoever they may be. An ideal stallion for a first-time stallion owner. Has had one foal so far, a beautiful leggy filly. He offers unique bloodlines to NZ, as his father is now in Australia. To our knowledge, all of his purebred colts were gelded. Gentle Annie, his legendary Mum, has had colts that have all been gelded, too. With his height, temperament, and all-round quality, we believe Silver will be a very busy and popular stallion. We don’t stand to outside mares, but have received quite a few enquiries from people wanting to use him. |

Black Tobiano
$12,000
Ernie is a bit of an unicorn! He is uncomplicated, genuine and very kind. Very gypsy in his nature, he is calm and takes everything in his stride. Is friendly, but not pushy or impolite about wanting attention.
He is a lovely ride. Is very responsive, with a soft mouth, and moves well. Ernie loves people, going on adventures, water, and jumping. Has had a year under saddle. Is a wonderful all-round fun horse for a small adult, or a competent older child.
Happy, 7/8th Gypsy Cob - sold
Happy, 7/8th Gypsy Cob
DOB: December, 2017
Sire: The Gypsy Star of Brackenhill
Dam: Silk, 3/4 Gypsy Cob (Sire Brightwater Picasso, Grandsite John Brodie)
Approx height, 14hh
Eligible for the Breedup Programme
Will make a fun allrounder and best mate. Due to her age Lulu is unstarted, but is a beautiful mover, with a big, ground-eating stride. Happy is athletic, quick thinking and quick moving, and very good on her feet.
Happy comes with a lovely bonus, having been scanned in foal to our silver dapple stallion (Gentle Annie x Coates Silver Lining). This gentle quiet soul is amazing to work with, and is a beautiful, correct example of the breed. Very kind and workmanlike, and behaves like a sensible older gelding rather than the 2 year old colt that he is. Is a large lad with an EMH of 15hh+.
SOLD: Congratulations to Sarah, and the safe arrival of her new filly foal.

Dam: Hope (Tinker Taylor x Milly, stationbred from Pourewa jumping lines)
Sire: The Vicar

The Vicar's Mayflower, 3/4 Gypsy Filly
Black tobiano filly
Dam: Amazing Grace (John Brodie x TB)
Sire: RWF The Vicar (Imp USA) Purebred Gypsy Cob Stallio3/4
EMH: 14.3-15hh
Possibly homozygous for colour, results pending.
$5500
Mayflower is a beautiful filly, and will grow into a big, strapping girl. Is becoming quite a tank. Is super-friendly, rushes over as soon as she sees you.
Has had a couple of very relaxed training sessions and most of the basics were covered (We bought Grace in for a feed when Mayflower was a few weeks old, and Mum and I got chatting, and just sort of started playing with her, and in no time she was haltered, responding to pressure and release from the rope, and lifting her feet, without us really meaning to do much with her, haha). She's very like her mum, a bright, eager-to-please little character, who thrives on attention. Lovely, ground-covering movement.
SOLD!! Congratulations Louise, of Whitehall Pony Stud, we hope both Mayflower and Independence Day both give you much joy :-)

Jeannie's Colt, Gentle George
Oh, how we love this boy!! He has the easy, kind nature of a purebred, in a tall, nicely conformed package. We are thrilled at the wonderful home he is going to. He is going to a dairy farm in Taranaki, where he will be pampered and loved by Michelle, and will be a mate (and eventual riding horse) for her horse-mad young son. George thrives on human attention and loves kids, so this is a very good fit all-round.
Dream's Filly Midnight (formally Oprah)
Midnight is going to be a pleasure horse, and a replacement mount for a steady, quiet, aging gelding. Her purchaser Kim, is planning to lead Midnight from her gelding during their future rides together, as a way of familiarising her with the world. Jan has done most of Midnight's training, and raves about her obliging nature, "she should have been named 'Angel'", to quote her. She is grazing next to Jan's house, and neighs at her whenever Jan steps out the door, which is very sweet.
Johnny Appleseed
Dolly (Split Decision x Shire/Clydesdale) x The Gypsy Star of Brackenhill
Johnny was one of the first Gypsy partbreeds that we bred, and is very special to us. He has found a wonderful owner in Brenda, who plans to leave him entire, and use him for dressage, general pleasure riding a a bit of breeding.
Johnny has a EMH of 16.2+hh, and has the most relaxed, people-loving nature imaginable. Totally unflappable, Johnny is also blessed with outstanding movement, correct conformation, and is from strong jumping lines.
Johnny has covered a couple of our taller sporthorse mares, and so far one is confirmed in foal. He was so gentle and relaxed about the act of horsey-love that it was almost comical. All the mares stood like rocks for him, which just goes to show that nice guys can get the girls!

Rocky
3/4 gypsy cob by The Gypsy Star of Brackenhill, out of Amazing Grace (John Brodie x TB)
Rocky was only the 2nd 3/4 gypsy cob colt born in NZ, so was a rather exciting arrival for us. He was an absolute delight from the day of his arrival, a sweet little soul who loves people. He was fantastic in all his initial training, very willing and obliging, never put a foot wrong and enjoyed all the attention.
Rocky sold very quickly to a fantastic home. He is to be gelded and used as a riding horse, using Parelli methods in all his future training... Congratulations on your purchase, Andrea, we hope you and Rocky have lots of fun together!

Feedback:
We breed quite a few different types of animals; miniature horses, American Paint horses, donkeys, shih tzu dogs, spotty sheep, llamas, alpacas, poultry and are New Zealand's largest commercial axolotl breeders (not such a big achievement, as we are the only breeders!). All of our animals have a rather unique start in life - being born at a Farm Park they get an enormous amount of contact with people, and leave the farm very well socialised. With every companion animal breeding programme our philosophy is the same; start with the best quality animals that we can find, with correct confirmation, and are as close to their breed standard as possible. And then only breed from them if they prove to have exceptional, people-loving temperaments, and have a bit of the "X-factor" about them... if they make us and everyone else who meets them smile, then they qualify to add to the gene pool.
We are proud of the animals we breed, and it is always a thrill to hear from new owners of our "babies". Below are examples of (unsolicited) feedback we've received from people who have bought animals from us:
Toffee - Irish/English Jack weanling foal
Hi there just a quick note to say Toffee has settled in nicely - he is a lovely donkey and has enjoyed regular walks with us. He is very easy going and there have been no issues with him leading and he is lifting his feet nicely for us. In the short time he has been here he has already brought lots of happiness and fun.
Thanks so much.
Naomi and Stephen

Squeak, Miniature Horse (Bubbles x Teapot)
Hi Sue, Just an update for you about Squeak. He has been no problem, the next day after your mum dropped him off he came right up to me and let me put the halter on and every since. Loves a good scratch all ova and loves the wee grand children. Him and Casper get on just fine, no squealing or stomping of feet (much to my relief). Just a lovely wee man and I thank you so much as does Casper for his paddock mate. Kind regards, Cath
Skye, Shih Tzu (Poppet x Buddy)
Hi Sue, We've fetched Skye from the airport today. She's the cutest and adorable wee puppy, we all love her to bits. Jessica is extremely happy and couldn't stop playing with her and cuddling with her. No doubt she is comfortable being around people, and easygoing.
Thank you for the most wonderful experience, your quick answers to our queries and close contact really helps alleviate any doubts we had buying a puppy from the internet. Can't fault it, really a pleasure to deal with such nice people. Your kind help in organizing shipping, not to mention the discount, was hugely appreciated.
Thanks again for all your help throughout, and we wish you all the best. Danny & Jessica
(Skye was bought by Christchurch-based Danny for his wife Jessica, who was suffering from depression following the earthquakes. Another puppy from this litter was trained as a hearing dog for the deaf.)

Bubbles, Miniature Horse
Hi Sue, Picture attached says it all, as you promised she is a safe as houses with the kids and just thrives on all the attention. I even took her for a walk today up our road (to help with weight control haha) and she seemed to really enjoy it and met half of our neighbourhood, will be known as the crazy lady that walks her pony for now on haha.
Thanks again, Ashley
Thanks again, Ashley
American Paint (Jamie x Black Bart)

Donkey (Rosie x Monty) Mini Horse (Charm x Teapot)
Just to let you know that Buttons and Happy are settling in well.
Today they went to the beach. I had tears in my eyes watching Buttons gallop around like a dog off the chain. Happy was just contented to roll and roll in the sand. He really loves me already and is like my shadow.
After that we did a little lap around Waihi Beach town. They stopped at every shop and let people come out and give them a cuddle. I'm amazed at how quiet they are.
When we got home we brought them inside for some carrot, Happy wasn't too sure at first but he really trusts me already and was very calm.
Thank you so much for giving me a chance to buy these two special animals. They are going to bring so much joy to everyone.
