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.

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

Currently, Auckland Council can regulate only fireworks being set off on public property.
In 2015 the National-led government received a petition signed by about 32,000 people calling for a ban, stating fireworks caused "unnecessary distress and injury" to people, animals and livestock.
The petition said firework seasons, such as Guy Fawkes and New Year's Eve, put huge pressure on emergency services through unnecessary fires, property damage and injuries.
However, the proposal, which was supported by the SPCA, SAFE and the NZ Veterinarians Association was rejected.
There were 516 fireworks-related injury claims in New Zealand in 2016.
