25.01.2022 If you are fond of a horse and wish to do him a real favour, train him well. Teach him good manners, good habits, both in the stable and under saddle. You need never worry about the future of such a horse if for any reason you have to part with him. You assure him of friends wherever he goes. Perhaps the greatest kindness you can do any horse is to educate him well.... Tom Roberts Day 1 with Jennifer Magic she has me line and sinker already We started off worrying about where her friends were but quickly settled. I’m starting right at the beginning with her, no matter where a horse is at in their education under saddle Josh and I go through every basic manoeuvre to check for any gaps in a horses training or something they might need work on. This weeks focus is: Build and establish connection Softness in the halter working through various ground control exercises Start of teaching relaxation in the long reins And hopefully a first ride Get your tickets Cowgirls Gathering https://www.cowgirlsgathering.com.au 1 - 3 October, Kilkivan Showgrounds Just one of the events that will be held over the weekend is the race to ranch, 10 ladies have 100 days to train a OTT thoroughbred to be a ranch horse and complete in ranch trail, ranch cow horse and a 5min freestyle! #racehorsetoranchhorse #cowgirlsgathering #cowgirl #horses #workingcowhorse #celebrate #western #campdraft #supportlocal #ranch #glamping #horsemanship #liberty #horsewomen #prydes #easisport #drshow#qjriding wear #paddockbladeaustralia #kelatoanimalhealth #equissage #equipad

24.01.2022 We started the big move to Rutherford Farm this weekend..... you really don’t realise how much stuff you accumulate running an Equestrian Business A big shout out to Charlotte, Annie and Dee Badger for coming out on their Sunday afternoon to help remove flooring and sawdust out of our stables..... on our own this would have been a HUGE job.... THANK YOU!!!! These girls are at the forefront of our Equine Industry and are willing to put the hard yards in for the not so fun j...obs that are involved with horses We will be in by this Sunday the 30th, please be patient this week with replies to messages and emails, there is limited reception at our new place so until we have wifi sorted there we may be a bit slow getting back to you but will do our best! With all the above said we are so EXCITED! We have some big plans, including an Open Day, various clinics, Agistment and Spelling options and will be offering some specials on our lessons!

23.01.2022 Knights Equestrian proudly presents on behalf of client. Taloumbi Bakira 2011 Hanovarian Gelding 16.2hh Sire: Belafonte ... Dam: Taloumbi Donata Felix has been owned by his current owner the last three years, she has decided to move onto an older horse. During their time together a lot of time has been spent on developing a great partnership from the ground. Felix works at liberty, can side pass towards and away from you and has good control skills in various situations. He has a good solid foundation working in long reins. Felix is working at novice level and is great to ride out alone or in company. He’s great with obstacles. Scary things don’t really bother him. I’ve taken him off site to a dressage lessons where we was great to do everything with. He will need a knowledgeable rider that is consistent in their training program but also someone that is willing to go beyond the arena, he needs stimulation to be happy in his work. Will make an exceptional Show Hunter or Working Equitation mount. Very sad sale of her best friend. https://youtu.be/XN0xr-pzaME 20000 0413 700 233 Kaitlin Dooney Photography South East QLD

12.01.2022 There are some horses that will come into your life and change it forever..... Sacred Promise (aka Brumby ) was this for me.... he was my 2018 USA Thoroughbred Makeover Candidate and taught me more than I could ever imagine.... he holds a very special place in my heart and I’m so lucky to still be following his journey on the otherwise of the world I’ve been fortunate enough to have been invited to compete in the 2021 Cowgirls Gathering Race Horse to Ranch Horse Comp...etition held in October at Kilkivan www.cowgirlsgathering.com.au We have from June 1 till October 1 to transform a recently retired thoroughbred into a Ranch Horse (Yes we will chase a cow!!! ) I’m more so worried about my skills than my horse So let me introduce Jennifer Magic a beautiful 4yo Grey Mare..... she had her last race on the 24th of April at Dalby and she came.......LAST! Her racing career was 1 win from 10 starts.....total prize money was $18 925. So I’m going to say that speed isn’t her thing and I’m pretty sure that her Dams name (Ugly Juggly) hasn’t had anything to do with the looks department How did I find her..... well I’ve been on quite the search! Long story short I found her on the Broodmare section on the Bloodstock Auction Site.... why was I looking in the broodmare section you ask? Well it was out of pure frustration of me hitting tabs on the auction page due to our bad reception that I accidentally loaded it..... and I saw her picture (I just knew I NEEDED her!) After reading the ad I emailed the trainer to see if she could still be ridden.... he said definitely no reason why she can’t..... so I painfully had to count down 4 days till the auction would end. Let me tell you that last 5 seconds was LONG and then I get the message to say I WON the bid..... WOOHOO!!!! She arrived on transport from St George on Saturday the 8th of May..... she now has a few weeks to relax and get all the important work done (teeth, farrier etc.) I hope that she follows in Brumby’s footsteps (and many of the other TB’s I’ve worked with) and proves to the world how amazing OTTBs are..... here’s to the 2021 RACEHORSE TO RANCH HORSE #r2r #cowgirlsgathering #ottb #racetoranch #racehorsetoranchhorse #qjridingwear #equissage #drshow #prydes #easisport

11.01.2022 QS Suranne is one of our current horses in training with us. On the weekend she competed in her very first dressage test at the Park Ridge Summer Series and we couldn’t be prouder of her! She is sired by Stedinger and out Remi Wolkendance. Que Sera Farm QJ Riding Wear Dr Show

11.01.2022 SOLD! Knights Equestrian Proudly Presents..... Tooradin Park Freddo Frog ... 2015 Registered Warmblood Palomino Gelding 16.2hh Sire: GF Daiquiri Dam: GT Lolipop Dallas came to us towards the end of 2019 to be started under saddle. He spent 8 weeks with us and then went home for the Summer being lightly worked. Since then he’s come to us a couple of times throughout this year for further work. Sadly his Mum has work commitments that keep her away from home so she’s made the tough decision to find a partner for Dallas that can bring him to his full potential. Dallas has beautiful swinging movement and is an absolute pleasure to ride. He will need a patient and confident rider to further his education. He’s been exposed to quad bikes, dogs, cows, riding with other horses, tarps, flags etc. He is great to float, trim, worm and handle in all aspects. He is ready to go compete in 2021!!!
