Wellness doesn't always look like a yoga class or a green smoothie.

Sometimes it's a walk through the botanic gardens. A moment spent beside the water. Exploring sculptures tucked amongst the trees. Watching the local birdlife. Breathing a little deeper and slowing down for a while.

At Willinga Park, wellness happens naturally. It's found in the simple moments that help us disconnect from the everyday and reconnect with what matters.

This Global Wellness Day, we're celebrating the power of nature, open space and taking time to simply be.

Beautiful young mare with a kind nature and wonderful attitude

Introducing Willinga Park Fiestas Hope — a lovely young mare with all the foundations to become a beautiful all-round partner for someone wanting a quality horse to enjoy and develop.

"Hope" has the most genuine temperament and exceptional manners for such a young horse. She stands impeccably in the cross ties while being saddled and for the farrier, and is a pleasure to have around the stable each day.

Under saddle, Hope is continuing to develop her strength and balance and is establishing a soft, easy connection to the bridle. She has a willing attitude towards her work and gives her rider a lovely feel.

By the outstanding Total Hope and out of Bloomfield Forever, Hope combines quality breeding with a kind, trainable nature.

She would suit someone looking for a versatile young horse to enjoy doing a little bit of everything with — whether that be dressage, clinics, lessons, competitions, or simply producing a lovely horse to enjoy for years to come.

Willinga Park Fiestas Hope
4-year-old Mare
DOB: 29/01/2022
