My mum has two rescue STB's who must go. They were bought for my sister and my mum. My sister has lost interest and the mare is too much for my very nervous mum.

Milo has been largely unhanded for 2 years and is wary of people. With regular handling and work, he will revert back to his quiet self. Not for beginners, he needs some guidance with experienced hands. Was being ridden by a child when he was being regularly ridden. Loves his wither scratched, he melts in your hands. Very Happy

Brandy was a beginners horse who got lost along the way and we rescued her a year ago. I hopped on her after not being ridden for a year and she was quiet, but has some bad habits from being badly ridden. She too will come good with work, I am sad that I can't find her previous owner who might have liked first option of buying her. She was in show condition and so so quiet when her former owner bought her and I think she can go back to that.

Both horses are in their early teens, I will need to go out and take pics and look up their brands to tell their exact ages.

All offers considered. Money isn't important to us, a home that will give them half a chance is. No beginners please, these horses would suit a teenager or adult wanting a trail riding/stockwork horse.

Both horses are trotters, not pacers.

Brandy sounds interesting - however I would like to know how high she is thanks. Im going to need a nice quiet pony to get me going again when bubs is born. All the horses I have culled down to are yet to be broken in fully . Shocked

Both horses are around 15hh, Brandy maybe slightly smaller.

Brandy has been primarily a trail riding horse before she came to us. I don't know how either went in harness.

Brandy does head toss when you try and use contact after a nervous rider has hung off her mouth. She will get better with a fair hand. She also has issues handling her back feet, also cued from the nervous rider and owner.

They are both bay, Brandy is a deep chocolate bay and Milo is red bay. I *think* Brandy may have a little white, Milo has no white.

Milo is actually a very attractive horse. I do have an old pic of him when he was rescued by Shell and Craig. He has put on more condition since this photo and is actually quite solid.

Photo Credit to Shell.


I don't have any pics on hand of Brandy.

Milo is a lovely boy Smile I can vouch for that Smile

Basically, his story is that he was advertised on Aushorse without any photos, and I was disgusted when I saw him, and have never done a pity buy before, but showed Craig the photos and he agreed, and we bought him.....

He was a walking hat rack, it was awful. We took him home, put him on a large bale of triticale hay, gave him a couple of wormers, and 6 weeks later, the above photo is the result!

Lovely lovely horse, as Onion said, not for a beginner, but through no fault of his own, he just has a little more omph to his movement than you would want for a dead beginner.

We got him for a beginners mount for lessons, and he would have been fine, except that he was a bit bigger than we actually needed for the kids we were teaching at the time, and as I said, had a bit bigger stride and was a bit more forward than we needed at the time.
