About us
Our Mission
To breed the best coloured jumping sport horses, combining NZ and international bloodlines, capable of competing to international level.
O.L Pintos Profile
Martin and Maureen started Outlaw Farm with a view to continuing breeding coloured horses. The farm is now situated on a rolling 50 acres in the North Waikato and all horses are raised in natural conditions. Previously we were known as Outlaw Pintos but now we are starting to refer to everything as O.L Pintos (more information on this page explains the change)
O.L Pintos breeds for temperament, ability, confirmation, quality and colour and look forward to ongoing generations of horses that continually improve the lines utilised.
Maureen started breeding coloured horses years ago and some of the first progeny are still at O.L Pintos. Now the band of mares has grown and includes mares both bred at home plus those purchased for their bloodlines and / or ability.

O.L Pintos will look to performance test all progeny retained, in the future, in an effort to ensure that the quality continues to increase with every generation.
Now pleasure riders, Maureen, Martin and Jakob (son) enjoy farm work or trekking when not busy with stud duties. Watching the showjumping circuit takes priority when time allows.
When the opportunity comes to present progeny competitively in the future, as they come of age, O.L Pintos will start to follow the competitions and look for the best ways to present these progeny, whether that be through employing a competitive rider or through forming a strong alliance with an independent rider.
The stud has now moved to 50 acres at Te Kauwhata. Although it is a smaller property the sole interest is now breeding and training sport horses. The property offers a mix of contours and is being developed as time permits, the bulk of the work should be completed by summer 09/10.
The move also meant we looked at our stud name and we are now known as O.L Pintos. The OL is reflected in our brand, which is registered with the NZEF, as a circle with the L in the middle. We also felt that the Outlaw was possibly misleading to some people as there was a connotation we were breeding western paint horses, not coloured performance horses.
