Andalusian Gelding for sale

Sally from Warkworth

Andalusian Gelding - registered FOR SALE in Warkworth. 13 years old. $3500 (negotiable).

NOT SUITABLE FOR DRESSAGE, JUMPING ETC. HE IS SUITBALE FOR HACKING, GENTLE RIDING etc.

Handsome was on trial last week. The proposed owner loved him. Naturally, she had a vet check conducted. Handsome failed vet check. (All vital signs were good). BUT X-rays show “changes in right front fetlock, Auckland Vet Centre Xrays indicated “bone/joint degeneration disease”. Which means, he is not suitable for dressage, rigorous riding, jumping etc. I was shocked. VET REPORT WILL BE AVAILABLE TO ANYONE THAT IS SERIOUSLY CONSIDERING HIM.

Handsome has never been lame before, in my time of owning him for 3 years, (my vet records will be available to potential owner), nor with the previous owner who bought him in 2008 @ 4yrs old. (I keep in touch with her). However joint degeneration disease means he is likely to become lame at some stage in the future.

His name - Handsome
Date born. 22 Oct 2004. = 13 years old
3/4 Andalusian.
Sire - Purebred Andalusian
Dam - 1st cross Andalusian / Thoroughbred

Matewhero Valiente (Handsome) by: Woodstock Recaro Real out of Altanero Estalina (Spanish First Class Cross) by El Caballero Encantador II to 6 generations

Reason for selling - I am not riding him much and it is not fair on Handsome. It saddens me deeply to sell him, though I need to do the right thing for Handsome - he loves riding. MOST IMPORTANT - he MUST go to a home who will love him dearly, look after him and every aspect of his well-being, and also needs a paddock buddy. (Photos of Handsome with my partner).

Handsome Wants to please, very chatty, talks a lot. Comes up to you in the paddock, talking.... He has an incredibly beautiful nature and loves his humans. He adores children.
Handsome is so placid, if I don’t ride for months, then jump on him - he is absolutely fine.

No vices, no dirty behaviour. Not racey - likes a gentle ride, trustworthy, doesn’t spook, very safe to ride. He has a beautiful personality, loves his mate our Kune Kune, our dog and our ducks.

He is so placid, I did not ride him for 6 months last year and jumped in him and he was perfect.

He would suit either someone returning to riding (which is what I did after years of no riding), or someone wanting to hack out and have fun. PM me if interested. Thanks for viewing in Warkworth. 🌹 PM me or phone 021 274 474 or 022 308 4259

Price: $3,500

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
