Des lives on a farm in Mangaweka which is 30 minutes south of Taihape, one
hour north of Bulls. Des is able to either hand serve or paddock run with mares.
Des was started under saddle mid 2005 by us and then did two inhand shows as
a rising two year old. In July 2006, he was re-started under saddle and then did
a months hacking experience with Lone Park Stud before going back to the farm
to run with his mares. Des's temperament showing that he can be ridden at any
time shows how well mannered he is.
Des is registered with the NZ Sport Horse Promotion Board.
