Destiny's Moonshadow
E.M.H 15.3hh+ Clyde x Stationbred X gelding.
Born 27-10-08.
Sire: Toy Boy (16hh clydex).
Dam: Darcita(EMH 16.1hh).

Shadow is the first out of our baby Cita and performed well at the CD Foal Show (photo) before trucking to his new owners in Nelson.

"I am a first time buyer from "The Horse Trader"! I noticed the advert from Destiny Sporthorses for "Shadow" who at the time was a 5 month old.

Normally I would like to sight a horse that I am purchasing, but after calling Leonie and speaking with her over the phone (me calling from the South Island and Leonie and "Shadow" being in the North Island!) I felt at ease with the process of buying and getting my new colt sent down to us in Nelson.

At all times Leonie has kept me up to date with the progress of Shadow with phone calls, emails and photos.
When Shadow arrived in Nelson I was over the moon with him. His temperament is perfect and he is such a wee sweetie in the paddock. No fuss and very well mannered. He has a lovely conformation and head and eye are very kind. A "no fuss" fella that's for sure.
I definitely recommend that if anyone is interested in the future to buy from Destiny Sporthorses, you will have a pleasant experience and really good outcome as I did.

Abby
Sire: Cherokee Redson Renegade (14hh Kaimanawa)
Dam: Nakita (15.2hh clyde x Stationbred)

We bought Nakita with foal at foot and gave Abby basic handling before selling her.

"Abby is such a delight and has an awesome nature. When we bought her off Leonie and Matt she had only been handled for a few weeks and she was so quiet and well mannered, they did a truly wonderful job!! Abby comes everywhere with us and is such a pleasure to handle!! She hops up onto the truck now like a pro and travels awesomely!! When we got her home, she just settled in and has been a dream ever since.

I certainly recommend Destiny Sporthorses to any other buyers. They produce truly gorgeous foals and the handling they give them is awesome, a real credit to their stud.

Thanks Leonie and Matt for such a wonderful wee filly.

Regards Stacey & Kim Jones"

Destiny's Rendezvous
EMH 15.2hh plus 3/4 TB x Clyde gelding.
Born 11-10-08.
Sire: Sunday's Destiny (16.1hh).
Dam: Lady Amour (15.1hh).

Ronnie is a sweet natured black gelding that has the cute factor.

“We are the new proud owners of Destiny's Rendezvous. I have been around horses for over 20 years and have never before met such a lovely friendly bunch of beautiful foals,  but most notably the stallion Sunday's Destiny absolutely blew me away, he is gorgeous in every way, and I had my first wee ride on a stallion. With his mares nearby he was a perfect gentleman and I'm sure that if he'd had a saddle on, I would have wanted a much longer ride! He is a true asset, and all of the stud's horses are a tribute to the hard working and knowledgable Leonie and Matt. Our new baby was so well handled that he was calm for the whole long ride home, and happily settled straight into his new environment. I am excited about working with him, and can't wait to ride him.
 
I would not hesitate to recommend Destiny Sport Horse Stud to anyone; honesty, fair prices, friendly, knowledgable, "real" people, and even a place to stay. I will be going back for a holiday at the beautiful homestead as soon as time permits.

Thank you very much - we look forward to seeing you again.

Sincerely,
Dave and Claire, Featherston"

My weanling Zinny is very laid back, sensible and trainable and I am looking forward to starting his career. Thanks Leonie and Matt for also going out of your way and transporting Zinny to Woodville horse floats to get him to me safely.

"I had a pleasure in buying a colt foal Destiny's WindStorm, who has such a lovely kind nature and everything I was looking for in a horse- exceptional movement, easy to handle and well mannered. Storm is well trained and respectful because of the time Leonie and her crew have put into him.

Destiny Sporthorses have given me a dream colt,and I would thoroughly recommend them to anyone considering purchasing a horse. From start to finish, they have put the horses' needs first, and have emailed every day to check on Storm and our progress, as well as being totally friendly and trustworthy.

"I made the decision to purchase Mia (Destiny's Kara Mia) when she was just 3 weeks old. From that time the communication from DSH was terrific, I was kept up to date with her progress and was emailed regular photos.

Now in her new home Mia has adjusted extremely well. She has a wonderful temperament being easy to handle, calm and sensible, a delight to own. Leonie and Matt's early handling is very reflective of her present day behavior, along with their selective breeding requirements for good temperaments.

Well done. Thank you for your support and encouragement.

"We are delighted with our purchase from Destiny Sporthorses.  Poppy (Destiny's Duchess) has settled in well and has an fantastic temperament. She is easy to handle, loves attention and has started being lead around the farm. She is a confident foal and happy to walk out in front of her companion. She has been visited by the farrier and was very well behaved. She is growing fast and gaining a nice winter coat.  She loves her food!!!

Leonie and Matt are very nice people, extremely helpful and certainly know their horses.
I will keep in touch.

Destiny's Chantilly Lace
15.2hh Clydex filly.
Born 15-01-05.
Sire: Crighton Lanarkshire (17hh clydesdale).
Dam: Gemma (15.3hh stationbred).

Lace is a solid mare with a lovely temperament. She is branded with our stud brand and was sold as a yearling.

"I purchased a filly (Destiny’s Chantilly Lace) from Destiny Sporthorses in 2005 and am absolutely delighted with her.  We had a 3 hour journey home and her behaviour both on and off the float is a credit to Destiny Sporthorses and the way in which she was handled as a foal.  Nothing bothered her and she handled the journey like a ‘pro’.  Even when we got home to her new and strange surroundings, she wasn’t fazed at all.   I certainly get the feeling she is going to be a very sensible and lovely natured mare.

I can certainly recommend Destiny Sporthorses to other buyers.  Communication between parties throughout the purchase phase was excellent and I found Leonie to be totally honest and more than accommodating of any requirements I had.  I also appreciate the opportunity (Leonie’s suggestion) to keep in touch with Destiny Sporthorses regarding Lace’s progress. Thank you Leonie and Matt.

"I have had a couple of very successful dealings with Destiny Sporthorses. I am delighted with the temperament of my young filly who is proving to be a quick learner and is sensible and willing.

Leonie always keeps in touch, is always supportive and continues to show interest in how things are going. I would have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone interested in doing business with them.
