Zintahn Pinto Stud

This page is dedicated to horses that have shared my life over the years. Some have gone on to new homes and, sadly, some to greener pastures.
Each and every one of them has had some form of impact on my life and the direction the stud has taken.

Zintahn Lil Diva
Sire: Blackwood Springs Laredo (Pinto)
Dam: Carinya Park Opalite (Pinto)
Diva was to be retained by me to be my future riding horse and broodmare later on in life, however she just wasnt going to mature tall enough so the hard decision was made to put her on the market.
She has gone to a home locally here in Tassie and will be shown and ridden by her new owner Pat.

Blackwood Springs Laredo
Sire: Anawa Mahuska
Dam: Impressive Ruby
Larry was bred by my friend Louise and Neville McNeair and I have enjoyed my time with him immensely. Unfortunately the property was not set up for, nor coping with 2 stallions and the hard decision to sell Larry was made. Being the younger of the two stallions his chance of having a good and useful life was much better than Dancers. I am pleased to say that he has been sold to a great home where he will be used to his full potential and will finally get the chance to follow in his fathers hoofprints.

Free Spirit Camelot
Sire: Warlords Hellter Skellter (Pinto Partbred Arabian)
Dam: Rondoro Semele (Pinto Partbred Arabian)
Chestnut and White Tobiano, 15hh
I only had Camelot for a short amount of time, during which she produced a beautiful chestnut tobiano colt to Dancer. She has been sold to a lovely home in Tasmania where she will be used for breeding.
She is currently in foal to Dancer for a 2010 foal.

Springfield Park Tiara
Sire: Triggerview Tommohawk (Paint)
Dam: Debutante (TB)
Black and White Tobiano, 15.3hh
Casey was bred in South Australia at Springfield Park. A beautiful gentle soul. A tragic paddock accident cut her riding career short, however she has really found her calling, what a great broodmare she has been to date. After moving to a smaller property, some hard decisions had to be made and Casey was sold to Kingslee Park Friesians, NSW where she will continue breeding top quality Friesian WB foals, hopefully as colourful as the 2 Friesian WB foals (pictured) she had while in Tasmania.

Springfield Glamour Girl (dec)
Sire: Glenormiston Finnian (Connemara)
Dam: Thumpers Star (TB)
Dapple Grey, 16hh
Cassie was my pride and joy, purchased as a rising 2 year old, she was the first horse I backed and educated. This was done with the help of a trainer and what a horse she ended up. She had talent to burn, a real natural ability and she just loved to learn. We attended many clinics on classical dressage before her untimely diagnosis of a tumour in the nasal cavity at the age of 5. She was no longer to be ridden, but could happily have foals. She bred two outstanding foals for me, Zintahn Odysseus and Zintahn Kissaya before she was laid to rest due to severe colic. RIP my gorgeous girl.

Springfield Bridget
Sire: Glenormiston Finnian (Connemara)
Dam: (TB)
Grey, 14.3hh
I never owned Bridget, she belonged to a friend of mine, but I had her on lease for a while and she was just such a great horse, super fun to ride and she too had a natural ability for anything asked of her. She deserves a spot on this page. She was sold on to a dressage rider.

Trusty Tambo (dec)
Sire: Double Income (TB)
Dam: Slick Tambo (TB)
Black/Brown, 16hh
Inca was a beautiful beautiful mare that I purchased off the track. She was a big bodied, smooth moving, absolute sweetheart of a horse. She was the type of animal that you could sit with for hours and she just lapped it up, she had a real gentle air about her and always seemed very peaceful. She only had one foal, Zintahn Enyarla. She had foaling complications and as hard as I tried, she eventually had to be laid to rest. She was a fighter though, she stuck around as long as she could to make sure her foal had a good life. What a mare!
