Wake Field Golden Girl
14.3hh crossbred mare
Lucy came to us pregnant, and after foaling and months off being ridden... she was so easy and quiet to bring back into work we decided to keep her.
She did a season in showjumping and eventing and now has quiet a few ribbons to her name including a 1st place at her first ever showjumping and winning both the dressage and over all in her 2nd time eventing!!
As mush as she did well at the lower levels, and had an awesome jump on her...she was just too quiet and relaxed to move up the levels. So she fitted in perfectly with our Wake Field team!

Wake Field Tricksey
14.2hh Gypsy cob cross
Sire: Wake Field Trickster
Dam: Wake Field Sapphire
Sire: Wake Field Trickster
Dam: Wake Field Sapphire
Tricksey is another one of our homebred ponies and Merlot's daughter. Just like her father she loves jumping!! Super quiet and safe with her nervous riders (and a beautifully easy trot to sit too), but wakes up with jumping if her rider gets into jump position. Tricky has done dressage and show jumping and is the lazy boy of barebacking!!
Hustler (Hussy)
15.3hh clydesdale cross
Hussy is our newest team member for our adult riders. Extensively trekked for years and experienced in pig hunting including carrying multiple wild boars and rider through the bush! This old boy is all about slow a steady. He is a huge solid boy, but a total teddy bear.
Waikawa (Willy)
16hh Holsteiner gelding
Willy is an older boy and a real gentleman. He is a purebred warmblood gelding with good dressage lines, but also such a gentle soul! He is perfect for those of you who are interested in dressage.
Lansdowne Just Puzzled (Puzzle)
16hh Paint/TB cross gelding
Puzzle is for are slightly more advanced students wanting to do the basics of competing in dressage, showjumping and eventing. Very honest jumper and beautiful easy canter. As a bonus he naturally rounds up, even in a halter, so gives his rider a great introduction to competition without the extra energy most performance horses have.
Wake Field Just Cruising (Cruiser)
14.1hh Kaimanawa gelding
Wake Field got Cruiser straight out of the wild as a 6yr old stallion from the 2018 muster. This boy has been amazing from the start, only 3 days out of the wild and he was asking for scratches and allowing us to put a rope on him!! (Hence his name).
His reaction to anything is to stop and think about it, which can be a problem if you want to go fast, but Cruiser is fantastic with children and just likes to take everything quietly.
