Thorbrooke Equestrian

2018 16.3hh Thoroughbred Gelding (not raced)

Rossi is a very fun forgiving guy who has taken his kid from 2ft to the .90 divisions in a few short years. Schooling 1.0 and occasionally bigger at home.

Loves to show, hacks out great and jumps logs and all the fences with ease. Lovely flat work would do well in the Dressage ring.

Rides in a leather snaffle but can go in anything (we just found he had a reaction to rubber).

Safe on the ground, bathing and trailering. For clipping his ears he can get a bit sensitive but works through it fine.

Not a whoa or go type just a nice simple ride. If you ask for speed he has it if you want a loose rein and to just chill he has it. Oh did we mention he is a soccer ball champion, loves playing with the horse sized soccer ball.

Has had zero injection, and no maintenance. Does have a saddle that he loves and fits him well, that can be bought with him. Has regular bodywork, 4 shoes (has been barefoot in the past but our ground is abrasive so needs shoes here).

Does not have a trainer riding him in between the kids days. She rides him 3-5 days a week. Does not need a lunge at home or at the shows. Doesn’t like earplugs so can go without or a sound proof bonnet. Does get Durwell calm cookies at the shows that is enough. Steps off the trailer ready to do his job.

He would do great with turnout, love to play with friends.

He eats a lot of alfalfa. We wouldn’t say he is a hard keeper. Currently on a mineral supplement, land & sea oil and an ulcer prevention called UTP.

Overall a very nice gelding to have in the barn. Will be missed but she wants to try her hand at starting young one.

2013 15.3HH Thoroughbred Mare is Available

She is super sweet, safe for trail rides and on the ground. Does get hot over jumps but can be convinced otherwise if you are soft and confident. She will stop if you are anxious and in a rush. She just wants someone to lead her without scaring her. Great little mare and a blast to ride!

Has shown low jumpers and dressage.

So where are all the people that say horses are over priced but would like a nice one. She is here if you’re willing to work for it.

7500 plus GST, the right fit is most important. We want a solid home for her that isn’t interested in flipping her or making her the flavour of the month. She is a good girl and deserves the home that is proud to have her.

All details and history will be given. We have known this mare since she came off the track at 6.

Sad part about training horses is one day they are ready to move on! Thank you Odette and Sully for being part of Thorbrooke wishing you the best ♥️

Great show at the Mother’s Day Classic in Maple Ridge. Thank you to the whole team (family, friends and clients) for all the love and support throughout the event.

It was wonderful to see Mila with Penny and Rachael with Nelly enjoy and be successful in their first show ever! Congrats ladies on all your accomplishments.

Nyomi & Niko had their most successful show yet putting in consistent clear rounds the whole show.

Oskar & Austyn found their groove ended the weekend with solid placings in the .90’s.

Ashleigh and Roo were successful in the 90’s and also stepped into their first 1.0m classes leaving with reserve champion in the Jr/Am.

Overall great miles lots of success and we are so proud of these ladies and their horses.

Now we have a nice break until Tbird in July.

2016 KWPN mare by Dreamboy

Layia (Barn name Jambo" is Swahili for "hello")

She is a lovely 16 HH mare with experience in Dressage, Jumpers and lower level hunters with a variety of riders. Although we feel she will do best with a confident rider of any level. She trail rides alone very well and likes space (we all like a personal bubble) when with others.

She is super safe and sweet on the ground and to work with. She will stand for hours to be fussed over, stands quietly for clipping, braiding and bathing. She loads well and hauls easily.

Jambo does wind suck. She has a scar on her back leg as well. She has one riding quirk of falling in with new riders. She is also on Chaste berry. She will take time to get to know and that is the reason for her price being far less than what it should be.

Please send a message if you having any questions.

Asking 15k plus GST
