Just thought I'd drop you an email to let you know how Ebony is going! Let me just say she is nothing short of a superstar, absolute gem of a horse :) We did heaps of groundwork before starting her under saddle, got to last sunday and thought we're ready to take the next step, so saddled her up and got on. I'm absolutely stoked with how she is taking everything. Take Care, Rebecca (Sent 27-4-2010) Rebecca Campbell Safe Ebony

Hey im so happy with the horse i bought from you that i finally got around to doing a testimonial for you :) 'Get The Nod' aka Noddy has turned out to be the perfect horse for me. He's started having dressage lessons now and shortly we will start on the jumping and hopefully by next year we will be competing in some eventing. Hes such a hardworking horse, always eager to please and will do anything i ask of him without any fuss. Every time i ride him he just gets better and better. Thankyou so much for your help Renae, i really admire what you do and how you help these horses. I will be recommending you and your services :) Katala S Katala Schneider "Get The Nod"

We bought Andy off Renae in February 2008 and have been absolutely wrapped with him so far. Aside from his beautiful movement, he has a flawless temperament and is an absolute character. We are so in love with him and he is such an angel to do anything with. He is going to begin his open saddle career in a few weeks and couldn?t have asked for a better horse to begin with. He?s established that he is number one at our house and is boss over all the other horses. He is quite spoilt and knows it. He will do whatever you ask of him all day and never puts a foot wrong. Our family had never had a Standardbred before, but now we can?t speak highly enough of them. We love him to bits and thank Renae & Jon for selling us such an amazing guy, and helping us into the show world. Vivienne Leverink Positive Outlook

Just a quick note to update you on how things are going with Arnie, He is a gem such a sweetie. He has settled in well and we have been out for rides around the block and I even rode him bare back with a halter in the paddock one day and he just plodded along without a care in the world. We take the dog out in the paddock now at feeding time to kick his ball and Arnie thinks that is just great you can almost see him wanting to go and chase the ball himself. Thank you for Arnie he is all I dreamed about. Kirsty Arnie

Just writing to give you a progress report on Amber Vision [Aubrey]. He has a lovely temperament and has settled in very well. He is a carrot addict and perhaps this explains why he is so easy to catch. Have started to ride him through the Wombat State Forest. His is slowly relaxing - the environment must be light years from what he is used to - but he is doing really well. Thank you very much for sending us this lovely boy. Allen [who has a lot of experience with horses] keeps telling me that I don't know how luck I am -Aubrey is so easy going and great to work with. When we started looking for a horse that was suitable for someone returning to riding i.e. reasonably bomb proof, it was like looking for a needle in a haystack. Aubrey is everthing that we hoped he would be. Once again, thank you very much Carol Amber Vision

Sorry it had taken so long to contact you about Scam. He is a lovely natured boy and had settled into life in Kersbrook well. He has a friend with him and is always keen to see me and what might be in my pocket! He has put on loads of weight and is looking fantastic. His coat has grown through a real bright and redish bay and looks great, I will email you some pics when I get round to taking some more. He is great on his groundwork and undersaddle is good, tends to be a bit unsure at times but never bucks or misbehaves. We usually ride out on our own and he just likes some reassureance that that little kangaroo is not the big fiery dragon he sees at first! Thanks for your help with putting us together he is just what i was looking for. Take care and keep up the good work Helen Kerr Scam Cam

Hi Renae and Jon, Just emailing to thankyou both so, so much for all you help and for delivering him to me. And for Darth Invader of course. He has been eating and having a look around since he stepped off the float, i have given him a brush and lots of cuddles, and he has neighed to my other standie and pony a few times with lots of replies. Once he settles in and gets to know me (and i get to know him a little more) i will hop on and send you a photo and keep you updated. I cant believe he's here already, its great. Even in a new environment he's totally calm and a gentleman. Thanks you so, so very much (i cant say that enough) Natalie Behn Darth Invader NZ

Congratulations on the birth of your little girl, she is just adorable. We thought we would send you an update on Fred. He is absolutely wonderful and a very much loved member of our family! We have been having lessons with Linda O?leary and have established a very balanced and soft trot (canter is getting there) with leg yielding and have him on the bit now. He is great to go out on the roads with as he is so bold and we have both taught each other a lot over the last 6mths. Thank you to you both for bringing Fred into our lives and will email you some more pics in the future. Rachel and Veronica Rachel & Veronica Parafield

Poppy is doing well! He has settled in beautifully! He has made some new friends, and is especially fond of the minis! I started off doing some ground work with him, letting him get used to my voice and the way I interact with him before I hopped on him, but I didn?t need to.- He was a dream to ride!! ~ He is a wonderful horse and I am so glad that you gave me the opportunity to have him. ~ He is the kind natured- most placid horse I have met, and I am so grateful that you brought us together.

Hi i would like to write a testimony for the testimony page. This is my boy Jake and one of the photo's is him and his BFF (best friend forever) Eden an old pacer they cant be apart. Jake is now living in Sydney and sadly got the horse flu, it was pretty scary but he bounced back to full health, he is so sweet and i love riding him ( but had to stop for 50days till he was over the flu). i love it when he races around the paddock with the tiniest pony and he makes me laugh when he takes off to chase birds and his horse ball. He love his food and will stand on top of you to get it and love his hay. He is so smart and one night he worked out where the feed shed was and someone (so wasn't me) didn't lock the door and he gladly ate hay and sweet bulk, a bit of chaff but still he opened a door to get in now thats smart i was worried he would get colic but he was fine that person (so wasn't me) learn't their lesson aways lock the door and gates . I would love to thank Aylesbury Lodge Danielle Jake
