Bred by Jeanette and Amanda Brown

Bess is the ultimate competitive hack with stunning looks and movement. She has been with us for 5 years and gone from low level Eventing to being an experienced 2* Eventer.

She has a soft snaffle mouth, great to handle, shoe, clip, truck, float and worm. She is beautifully schooled, loves to learn.
Bess is as much at home in the dressage arena, on the cross-country course, at Pony Club, on the hunt field, at the beach or just riding out with friends.

Exceptional results and these are a few highlights:
• 2nd - 2* April 2025 Ryal Bush Two day
• 1st - 1* plus Feb 2025 Donovan
• 2nd - 2* Dec 2024 Ryal Bush
• 1st - NZPCA DC Dressage Champion 2022, Taranaki Eventing Champs
• 1st - 105cm Springston Trophy class in year 2022
• 1st - National One day 105cm Eventing Champion McLeans Island, 2021
• 1st - Three day 1* Champion McLeans Island 2021
• Winner Springston Trophy Invercargill 2021
• Reserve champion novice hunter Oxford A & P
• 9 clear XC rounds at 2* level
• Dressage competed up to level 3. SJ up to Junior level

Ideally, we would think Bess’s new rider would be stepping up to their first hack. We would love to see Bess continue Eventing as she is so consistent at this discipline

This is an extremely sad sale, but rider is now away at University and cannot give Bess the time she deserves.
