2009 PC State HT Championships were held at ‘Gold Fields’ "Hello Vanessa, Just a quick note to say thankyou for a terrific weekend and how much we admired your lovely facilities at ESB. Giddeon thoroughly enjoyed being in such a big, airy stable ( he is usually sour after 2 days). A special mention to Sam, who couldn't have been more helpful over the weekend. Best wishes for the furure, you will have a world class facility in place at completion, Cheers, Liz and Georgette Turner." "Congratulations, Vanessa. It was a fantastic weekend!" Sue Foley "Congratulations Vanessa on a great weekend. We haven’t seen your place for over 5 years now so it was great to see your dreams coming to fruition. You can tell the complex has been laid out by a horse person – didn’t have far to walk anywhere and the ‘stadium’ has come up really well. Bronwyn, Murray and Clare Wheatley. PS Clare came 7th on a relatively new horse and had a terrific time (clear) on the cross country!)" "Dear Vanessa, Just wanted to say I read the report on horse deals re; state pony club champs, congratulations, it looked like an awesome event and the weather also looked perfect. Leesa J"

Equine Sports Breeding
Equine Sports Breeding
Equine Sports Breeding It’s not about the sale, It’s about the relationship.
ESB has been developing international quality performance horses for over 25 years and takes great pride in the selection and development of the horses in order for riders to achieve their goals. All the ESB breeding stock have been genetically selected for their temperament, movement, conformation, soundness, trainability, athleticism, confidence and jumping ability. They have had space to grow and develop, good nutrition, regular worming, gentle handling and professional training to give them the best possible foundation and start in life. Now they just need the right rider to maximise their potential and to realise their true qualities and what they were bred for. Making sure that this happens is the most important aspect for us and therefore the relationship is far more important than the sale. We have consistently produced international quality eventers including the sire of Olympic silver medal winner, Kirby Park Irish Jester; and 4* horses such as ESB Irish Endeavour (Will Enzinger AUS), ESB Irish Doctrine (Ashley Leith USA), ESB Irish Fiddle (Alex Hua Tian CHINA), Kirby Park Irish Jamie (Cammy O'Rourke AUS), ESB Irish Eclipse (Dale FLynn AUS) and many, many others. We may have or know of a few horses which may suit you, so please feel free to CLICK HERE to complete our Inquiry Form so that we know exactly what you are looking for.
We would be happy to help you source the right horse which is suitable for your needs. There are lots of additional benefits with buying an ESB such as ongoing support, access to the facilities and involvement in the Team ESB concept should you wish. The best option to do justice to you, the horses and us, is to come up for a visit because the relationship is more important to us than the sale. We have accommodation available in The Bush Courtyard and there is a also a map with directions to find us on www.goldfieldstheproperty.com We hope we can help you to find your a special horse and we look forward to hearing from you. All the best, Vanessa

quality horse. It is imperative if they are to achieve their goals that their investment of time and money is with the right horse. Since 1986, Equine Sports Breading (ESB) has been breeding and training horses specifically for international eventing, assisting the endeavours of event riders to maximise their potential and that of the ESB horses as well as to develop the sport.
Eventing horses which can meet the challenging demands of our sport and be competitive on an international scale are hard to find. The solution is to purpose breed, raise and train them to develop the specific characteristics required. However, the commitment, the risks, the losses, the escalating costs and the multitude of management options to do so mean that the ideal horses are demanding higher prices. In addition to this, the serious event rider invests most of their time and finances into training and competing, leaving very little of their budget left to actually purchase a
Team ESB is a joint venture between the breeder (ESB), event riders worldwide, owners, sponsors and a team of supporters both personal and professional, such as farriers, vets, physios, insurance, marketing, PR and transport companies. The concept is pioneering and a world first on a private level. It provides a unique combination of skills, resources and expertise; as well as superior marketing, sponsorship and business management to ensure that the interests of all parties are catered for effectively and professionally.
