Splash
Splash was a pony that I was able to find for the family (at no cost) as I had none available at the time.

| Hi Lesley, I promised to send you some photos of Splash when I could so I hope these have turned out ok. I have kept in touch with Sheila and sent her photos as well. Gypsy has been having lessons and rode Splash in the topsy ring at the show. Splash is a beautiful quiet natured young fellow and thank you so much for putting us on to him. It was worth the wait to get such a lovely quiet boy.His colour is quite unusual for a palamino with his white splotches, but that makes Gypsy's pony special from everyone else's ponies. Thank you again for helping us get such a fantastic pony. Regards, Rick and Kelly (Millicent, South Australia) |
Haflinger Filly (Melody)
Sold to Karina, Victoria.
Hi Lesley Went out with one of Emma's foals today. Karina and Tony's 3 year old in harness what a lovely pony was surprised at her willingness, not lazy at all and so well behaved. (Mar. '13)

She stood like a little soldier all the way home...She's an old soul in a young body. I am absolutely delighted with her. - Karina (Heywood, Victoria) |
Haflinger / Gelding (Nikal)
Born November, 2008 out of "Balgower Allure" (registered Bay Arab mare).
| The more I learn about haflingers the more I fall in love with them. I don't think people realise what a wonderful little horse the Haflinger is.They are so versatile, willing, great looking and have a beautiful temperment. Thankyou Lesley for helping have this wonderful experience. Alison |
| Hi Lesley, just thought I would let you know Nikal got picked up today and I don't know why I had such a sleepless night last night, he went on no worries like he's done it all before. See you soon, Alison. P.S. I'm gonna miss him so much. |

| Nikal's going good and has been a really good boy, he's a real character. He's better with his backing up, stopping and moving forward, he picks more up every time he's worked (which is'nt very often, so imagine what he would be like with consistent work.) I bunked Michelle onto his back, she only just lay with her weight across his back, never actually sat up on him (as I was holding Nowey too) but he didn't bat an eye lid, just kept eating. Caroline (Nikal's new owner). |
Drifter (Quarter Horse Bay Gelding)
Age: 10
Height: 13hh
Price: $3500 SOLD (Riverton, South Australia)
Description:
"Hello Lesley, had word from the McLeans and Drifter is doing really well he and little Matilda are off this week end with PC. Joey asked if I knew of any more ponies for sale as they would like another for their other daughter." - 11/1/13
I need to sell "Drifter" my much loved pony as my riding days are coming to an end.
I have owned Drifter since he was a foal of a few months. He has been such a good pony to me and done all I wanted eg. day and week long trail rides unshod, because he has very strong hooves (eg. in the Flinders Ranges, The Coonawarra region and the Tasmanian Trail) a few shows, Trail classes, Games, Jumping, Riding lessons and Club rallies and trail rides.
Drifter is very smooth to ride and can outwalk even big Percherons and Thoroughbreds but will never "jig jog".
He has also been broken to Harness.
He competes well in trail classes because he side passes both ways over "L" shaped poles, backs through a row of pot plants, drags a branch and the rider can go through a gate and sliprail without removing hand from gate or rail.
He can be tethered and if he gets the rope wrapped around his leg, he just stands until released.
He is a very experienced and confident pony. I am not a "show" person so he has not been used for this (he collects and goes "on the bit") However, I lent him to a girl who was having riding lessons on him and she took him to the Mount Gambier Show in 2009 and he got 3rd in Novice Pony and she won Novice Rider on him (photo). Recently he has been used by friends in the Topsy Ring.
He is used to the beach and he canters through the breaking waves. He loves water and enjoys a "bath".
Drifter would make an excellent Pony Club Pony because he can do all that would be needed there, or a very enjoyable pony for an adult. He also suits teaching beginners to ride.
Haflinger Brood Mare (Emma)
My daughter Eloise rode Emma on a week's ride in May 2010, (which unfortunately rained most of the time). Eloise is quite tall, but Emma, although fat, unfit and in foal carried her willingly and easily.

| Emma is pretty and perfect. Exactly the type of pony I like to ride. Willing, happy to lead or stay behind. Patient and smooth to ride. - Eloise |

Haflinger / Gelding (Jontie)

| January, 2010 |
| Hi there, Nikki and I had a fantastic day, thankyou so much, I left with a very positive feeling. and am more than happy to pay the price requested. Im so excited with this journey and am sure in no time Nikki and Jontie will be a great team, Thankyou so much for making this journey stress free, you always kept me updated and informed, I feel very lucky the day I emailed you. Take care, Juliann and Nikki. |
| January, 2010 |
| Just a quick note to keep you informed on Jontie, on Saturday Jontie was wonderful, with. He is a great little man as today was really windy and they were all calling out for him and running silly and he just did what we wanted him to do 99% of the time. So everything is going well and Jontie is settling in great, Juliann & Nikki. |
| February, 2010 |
| Jontie is going really well, Nikki adores him (obsessed) and he just fits in with us perfectly... We go see him everyday even when we can't ride or we are giving him a day off we still have to have our "Jontie" daily medicine. |
| March, 2010 |
| ... no need to tie him (Jontie) up to saddle up he just stands there, a chair blew in front of Nikki on Saturday (really windy) and he just looked at it, I really did expect him to shy as when it happened he was trotting over a jump and it blew in his path - we really do appreciated this little treasure we have. - Juliann |
| April, 2010 |
| Our first day at Pony Club went better than we could have imagined. Nikki had a fantastic time and within an hour or so Nikki's confident level was right up and she learnt so much in one day. The instructors were wonderful with both learner horse and rider I couldnt have been happier, we were signed up by lunch time and I have never seen Nikki so happy in her whole life, and I really mean that. So many people were commenting on Jontie and what a lovely little pony he is - I was so chuffed! Thankyou so very much for letting us buy your wonderful little Jontie he has not let us down nor we will him, Take care Juliann, Nikki and Jontie. |
| June, 2010 |
| Just a quick little email-just heard through the grape vine that Jontie has made a big impression with some horse people around here, it was mentioned that they would pay us for them to ride and train him and are waiting for Nikki to "outgrow" him so that they can purchase him! He has such a presence about him! and we get so many compliments at PC, but I can assure you that he is never going to be for sale (and if he is you will get first offer for sure), Nikki wont even let me have a quick ride! Regards always Juliann. |
| March, 2011 |
| Hi Lesley... this weekend on Saturday I am getting a jumping lesson on him, he is going so well... everything with him is always good fun. - Nikki |
| September, 2011 |
| Hi there... I'm so happy you sold this little bundle of joy to me... we are a match made in heaven, he is my best friend and in the saddle we just click, and even on the ground we just click. He is my boy, I will have to send you pictures. From Nikki. |
| December, 2011 |
| Lesley... Jontie is a "life send" to Nikki as he really makes her smile from the heart, Nikki is the type of girl who friends are for school but Jontie is every other breathing moment! So thank you for letting him come to us... - Juliann (Nikki's mother) |

I have ridden her in shows (placing in every event entered), pony club , trail riding & dressage too. She is a beautiful pony and she is the best pony you can get.

Starlight
Sold to Carolyn (Woodside, South Australia). Starlight was found for the family (at no cost) as I had none available.
| July, 2004 |
| Dear Lesley, Thank you so much again for everything you have done for us and Starlight. He's settled in really well... He's absolutely gorgeous and takes everything in his stride. He's a little gem... Kind regards, Carolyn. |
| December, 2004 |
| Dear Lesley... He has been so good. Has taken everything in his stride and anything that he may not be sure of, he stops, looks, and walks on without any fuss. The property where the Xmas rally was held at has Alpacas which certainly caused a commotion among some of the riders and horses, but Starlight was not fazed at all... - Carolyn |
| 2009 |
| Dear Lesley, Thought this was a good time to drop you a line. We sold Starlight about eight weeks ago to a really nice family in Balhannah who we met through pony club - so he's on the next family teaching their young girls... I can't thank you enough for all your help with Starlight when we went to purchase him... - Carolyn |
