HARRIS PARK WARMBLOODS' VALUES, MISSION STATEMENT AND SALES POLICY

 

Harris Park Warmbloods' values define how I conduct myself and my business. Having served in the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) for 18 ½ years, my values align to those values that both I, and my father, served under. These values, along with my personal values, underpin the day to day management of Harris Park Warmbloods:

 

• DEDICATION;
• EXCELLENCE;
• INTEGRITY;
• PASSION; and
• PROFESSIONALISM.

 

With so many people now breeding Warmblood horses in Australia, what sets Harris Park Warmbloods apart from other breeders? Outlined below is Harris Park Warmbloods' mission statement. Integrity and professionalism are at the core of how I conduct business; therefore I wish all transactions with potential customers to be open, honest and transparent. Although I breed and sell horses, I also purchase horses and can therefore appreciate and relate to the trials and tribulations associated with this. Buying a horse is a significant commitment, both emotionally and financially. I am committed to matching you with the best horse that meets your requirements and goals. This may not always be the horse you intended to view and potentially purchase - in my bid to ensure a happy horse, happy owner and a prosperous future together, I reserve the right to refuse a sale to anyone I feel is not the right match. I always endeavour to make this process a pleasant and memorable experience for all.

 

 

 

 

1. DEPOSITS

I regret to inform that in-utero or horses for sale cannot be 'held' for potential purchasers. In order to secure an in-utero option or horse from Harris Park Warmbloods, a nominal deposit of $500 inc. GST must be paid along with the signing of a sales contract. A deposit and signed sales contract entitles the purchaser to first right of refusal in accoradance with the conditions as outlined in the sales contract.

 

2. HEALTH CHECK OR PRE-PURCHASE EXAMINATION (PPE)

A health check or PPE is strongly encouraged to document the horse's present condition and its suitability for its intended purpose. Harris Park Warmbloods conducts radiographs of front hooves, knees, all fetlocks, hocks and stifles (including the associated veterinary report), for horses aged >24 months old. Please note that this does not include broodmares (ridden prospects only). Broodmares come with a breeding soundness exam, focusing on equine reproductive health. The radiographs and associated report can be sent directly to your veterinarian but is not available for release to you until such time that the purchase has been completed (if applicable). In the interim, your veterinarian is welcome to discuss the x-ray findings and report with you.

 

A potential purchaser is welcome to have a veterinarian of their choice conduct a health check or PPE at their expense at Harris Park Warmbloods, noting that all costs associated with the health check or PPE are the potential purchaser's responsibility. Please note that whilst I encourage age appropriate, thorough health checks or PPE to be conducted, I do not allow flexion tests of my youngstock that are yet to be started under saddle. Youngstock can be free-lunged (i.e. will not be worked in-hand or lunged on a lunge line), in my roundyard which is a 7 metre radius workspace. Bloodwork such as a standard wellness profile, complete blood count (CBC) and chemisty panel, and/or drug testing is welcome. Alternatively, a hair sample can be taken for the purpose of hair analysis to ensure there has been no misuse of anti inflammatory or sedative drugs as the sample can provide a historical record of drug (or other chemical) exposure. As well as detecting drugs or chemicals retrospectively, months or years after systemic exposure, hair root analysis may indicate acute exposure to codeine.

 

Information gained from the health check or PPE, if paid for by the potential purchaser, belongs to the potential purchaser. I welcome a copy of this documentation if the potential purchaser is willing to share. Harris Park Warmbloods' regular attending veterinary clinic is Peak Crossing Veterinary Services, Peak Crossing, Queensland. Previous customers of Harris Park Warmbloods have employed the health check or PPE services of WestVets Veterinary Services, Marburg, Queensland.

 

Harris Park Warmbloods is committed to providing full disclosure to the potential purchaser and their veterinarian with the horse's entire medical history; comprising a record of vaccinations and deworming, any supplements or drugs the horse is currently taking including prior medical issues, surgeries and treated conditions (incorporating medical issues that have been treated and resolved). By prior arrangement, I am happy for the veterinarian conducting the health check or PPE to discuss the horse in question with my regular treating veterinarian and/or farrier. In the event the health check or PPE results in a completed purchase of the horse being examined, the amount of the health check or PPE will be deducted off the sales price of the horse (up to a maximum value of $1,000 inc. GST). In order to obtain the discount off the sales price, a copy of the invoice and veterinary report must be provided.

 

3. TRIAL PERIODS

Unfortunately, Harris Park Warmbloods does not allow trial periods on any horses. A serious, potential purchaser, is welcome to visit Harris Park Warmbloods' on numerous occasions in order to assist with their decision as to whether or not the horse is suitable for their intended use and competency level.

 

4. PAYMENT

Harris Park Warmbloods accepts payment by cash, cheque, bank transfer or PayPal. The invoice provided outlines all details pertaining to the different payment methods and all payments are inclusive of GST. Please note that a horse may not leave Harris Park Warmbloods until payment is receievd in full (cleared funds) including any other associated costs if applicable, for example, agistment. This is not applicable to horses sold under a payment by installment contract where the horse is allowed to leave the property in accordance with the terms as outlined in the sales contract.

 

5. TRANSPORTATION

The purchaser is responsible for all costs associated with transportation from Harris Park Warmbloods. I use and recommend Sydney Horse Transport (SHT) and Ultimate Horse Transport for all east coast movements, and Combined Horse Transport (CHT) for east-west movements.

 

6. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION AND MY PLEDGE OF LIFETIME SUPPORT

Information regarding ownership, harm to the horse and the buyer's obligations are outlined in the horse sales contract. The contract is binding once the contract has been signed and a deposit paid, pending the outcome of a health check or PPE (if applicable).

 

I am committed to providing support to owners throughout the lifetime of the horse - whether you purchased a Harris Park horse directly through me or via a third party. I like to stay connected with owners and hear about how Harris Park horses are going, whether in sport or for recreational purposes. I am a breeder who would like to work collaboratively with riders, promoting the horses, riders and sport in Australia.

 

What sort of support do riders want from their breeders? Feel free to contact me to discuss ideas on how we can work together. As we all know, it takes a small army to get a horse out competing, and in performance sports where things can be extremely challenging, it helps to have more people in your corner that share your vision, goals, and offer support, no matter how small or large that may be.

 

PLEASE NOTE: horses owned and for sale in partnership with Harris Park Warmbloods may have differing elements of the sales policy as outlined above. Please ensure you clarify any points prior to signing the sales contract and paying a deposit.

What is functional conformation (form to function)?

 

FUNCTIONAL CONFORMATION: "Functional conformation, or form to function as it is also called, gives breeders another tool for selecting pairings of stallions and mares to produce foals that have the functional conformation to perform well in, and withstand the rigors of, specific disciplines."

 

The above definition of functional conformation is by Judy Wardrope, JW Equine.

 

Character and disposition are known to be inheritable qualities, so what is character and what is disposition?

 

CHARACTER: "The term character is about manners with people and behaviour in the stable. A good-natured horse that is accommodating on the ground and interacts with people in a friendly manner has a good character."

 

DISPOSITION: "Disposition, which includes rideability and trainability, is evaluated under saddle. With respect to rideability, we mean that the horse can be ridden comfortably, has a nice and light connection, and is also light and quick to the aids. With respect to trainability, we mean that the horse can be trained in a pleasant way."

 

The above definitions of character and disposition are quotes from Wim Versteeg, the KWPN Senior Inspector Stallion Selection (dressage and jumper horses).

 

Temperament is genetic and the most consistent trait in the horse. I strive to breed horses that are desirable by riders, not only for functional conformation and movement, but also for temperament (inherent amenable characters and good disposition). Horses that are / have:

 

• A natural desire / willingness to work, are enthusiastic and forward;
• Perseverant and continue to work even when work becomes demanding;
• A natural sensitivity, are sharp and sensitive to the aids;
• Brave and bold, not looky or spooky;
• Submissive and obedient, uncomplicated;
• Social and friendly towards humans;
• Patient and co-operative; and
• Perceptive, intelligent and learn quickly.

Professional, passionate, knowledgeable, dedicated, organised, reliable and very honest, are just a few words that spring to my mind when I think of Shanna of Harris Park Warmbloods. The thoroughness of her breeding program (from choice of stallion right through to halter breaking and weaning of the foal), shows her focus and determination to produce quality riding horses that are well mannered and a pleasure to own.

 

Shanna shows a genuine desire to ensure that her horses go to well-suited homes. At no stage did I feel pressured to buy. I would like to take this opportunity to thank her for generously sharing her extensive knowledge and wish her every success in the future. I look forward to staying in touch and will continually keep her updated on Geronimo's progress. Thank you!

 

CHARLOTTE COX - Willow Vale, Queensland.

 

 

I am writing to let you know how delighted we are with the colt you bred, Harris Park Digby, and to give you a little progress report. Since he calmly arrived off the truck from you after that long journey, almost one year ago, all legs and ears, he has blossomed into a sturdy 16 hh of placid, curious and handsome. He is a very even tempered chap, happy to deal with our farm chaos, dogs playing and rushing past, tractors, cows, sheep, chainsaws, small squealing children who pop up in his paddock, and our farrier loves him. He is so well mannered. Always important!

 

He is so easygoing and we can move him from paddock to paddock with no drama at all (unlike our other silly Thoroughbreds) – easy to rug, wash, worm, lead and all those other day to day dealings that make him a pleasure in every respect. He is a credit to your great handling and early ground work.

 

Both my daughter and I feel he is a real privilege to have around and we want you to know how thrilled with him we are. I will try and discipline myself to send you some photos - needless to say we are looking forward to great things of him as a calm performer in the dressage arena for the future. Exciting days ahead!

 

JENNIFER SIMPSON-SMITH - Flynn, Victoria.

 

 

I would like to take the opportunity to thank Shanna of Harris Park Warmbloods for the lovely horses she has bred, and we currently own. Her choice of stallion is what brought her to our attention and when we saw the foal, we just fell in love immediately. She kept us informed of his progress and would not let the sale go through until she was completely satisfied that he was sound and healthy. We were so impressed with Harris Park Freestyler that we bought a second horse from her, HPW Dunham RW. Registration and paperwork was completed and assessments were all done.

 

These horses are forming the basis for our young riding stable. We are impressed with their looks and conformation and they are truly beautiful horses. Each has a unique personality and they are a pleasure to own. We are looking forward to competing Dunham this year and Tyler the next.

 

These horses, and indeed all of Shanna's horses, seem to have excellent temperaments and are very well behaved whilst being handled and moved; a testament to their early handling and groundwork and the dedication, time and effort that Shanna puts into all her horses. We thank her for the wonderful work she has done with breeding and look forward to a long friendship and association with her in the future.

 

KYLIE THOMAS AND MIKALA THOMAS - Lismore, New South Wales.

 

 

We would like to sincerely thank Shanna for her ongoing assistance with the purchase of Harris Park Democracy, and to acknowledge how helpful, communicative and genuine Shanna has been at every stage of the process.

 

After much research and consideration into the breeders we would approach, we touched base with Shanna to discuss in-utero options initially. What struck me most was her very apparent passion for thoughtfully-bred horses, and how unique and impressive each of the pairings on offer was. We felt thoroughly informed, never pressured and very at ease at all times - a huge credit to Shanna for making such a significant distance purchase a smooth, happy process.

 

We are now very proud to have a gorgeous little man growing up at Harris Park Warmbloods, and eagerly await the day we can bring him home. In the meantime, he is in wonderful hands, and we look forward to an ongoing relationship with Shanna as Darcy matures and progresses.

 

JADE AND SIMON PAYNE - Sydney, New South Wales.
