Who's ready to throw away the expectations and are ready to beat their own Drum?

Anyone out there looking for a reliable steady, sensible, drama free horse, that loves to do stuff, loves to learn new things and go new places? Are you having fun when you ride? not a chore or riddled with fear every time you had to mount up? Remember when riding brought you joy? - come and check out a Drum - we've a number of horses seeking new paddocks (and others to come). Hubby is wanting to retire/travel, so we are downsizing.

Quest - F2 Drum - rising 2, Drum filly - strong, hearty nature, very sharp - once she knows you will do anything for you. Will be an absolute powerhouse in a few years, stunning mover - will need experienced owner. 12.5 apples

Marama - Foundation Drum - rising 1 (Jan) - Black. Sweetest little girl, loves a cuddle, great ride and drive prospect - very laid back but flashy mover, when she's off. Price will go up as we do more handling, and take her out and about - doppelganger to her full sister. 8 apples

Amour - F2 Drum - 6 yr old, 16.2 - big lass, recently started under saddle, now turned out, expressive and energetic, loves having a job to do, great mum ... very green. Well suited for riding and driving, with experienced trainer. 15 apples

Pippen - rising 5 yr old - 16hh - beautifully mannered, stunning mover, no fuss filly, doing very well under saddle, loves an outing, been to the beach and trekked (mainly arena work over winter) - amazing work ethic and tries her heart out every day.

If you have ever thought you might like to come and have a look at one of our Drums - please get in touch to arrange a viewing.

It has come to our attention that our Premium Drum Horse Stallion Alexander the Great PPR has been added to a breakaway Drum Horse registry based in the USA - as an approved stallion.

I absolutely do not approve! and this has been done without our knowledge or permission, I have requested he be taken down from that list, this has not been done.

As president of the International Drum Horse Association, I do not support this competing registry on any level and advertising my stallion on that website makes a false assumption that I both approve and support – I most wholeheartedly do not approve nor support.

Alexander the Great is owned fully by Mahutonga Stud in New Zealand – he is a founding Drum Horse sire with the IDHA and the New Zealand Gypsy Cob Association and he will remain there, nowhere else - unless we are consulted properly. Yes- there is frozen semen in the US and Australia but that does not give anyone else the right to appoint my stallion elsewhere.

We are fully committed to supporting the IDHA (and the NZCA) with our horses, and will continue to do so - no others.

Little Maverick has grown up into a strapping lad. He has an exceptional nature and has just graduated from the collection facility so is available to mares across the country. Maverick is available to outside mares for a limited time.

If you are looking for sane, sensible, and safe, it might be time to start beating a different Drum. All enquires to Goldengrove Stud Farm

Well done Cleo! She's a great mum (the ultimate helicopter mum though) and won't let anyone close - she'll come around when he starts annoying her.
