Peruvian Paso Fino at 15hh, a gorgeous mahogany bay, was approximately born in 2007. He's a rescue I took in and never regretted. He has proven to be one of my best horses. Marley suffers from anxiety. He has it under control now after being with us for 4 years.

Marley understands anxiety, he understands being shut out. This guy will listen to you chat and love it as long as you listen to him too.

This boy loves to be loved. He will give you everything if you respect and listen to him. That doesn't mean he doesn't need a leader, he does. If you can pluck up your courage and guide this boy with a kind heart he will follow you forever.

Tennessee Walking Horse from Tennessee, U.S.A. she was born April 2001. Standing at 15hh this beautiful blue roan with four white stockings and a blaze is a dream to work with. She can also be a nightmare. Lol! Just kidding! She is strong-willed and if you falter in what you're trying to achieve she'll be wandering somewhere else before you know it.

Purchased as a rescue that may have gone for meat because of her confident personality. She fit in here very quickly. From respect and attention to her needs she has proved to be one of our best horses.

She was shown, bred many times and ended up a trail horse where she didn't work out. Cotton is sensitive, she is quick to learn, she is intelligent and she is a fast mover because she is gaited. Her walk is huge so if you have long legs and love to stretch them here's the girl for you.

She expects respect, she has to be heard, she loves challenges and is great to work with. She'll make you up your game but she's also a big sweetheart deep down. Don't let her aloofness fool you. Once she bonds with you she's your best buddy.

Mack is a grulla miniature horse with an almost silver mane and tail and a chocolate body. He was born in 2006 and is about 34 inches tall. He came from an Equine Rescue and settled here with his friend Ginger very quickly.

He is sweet-natured and loves the programs that we run. He loves being part of the group and the thought process of getting through the challenges. He is easy to work with having a laid back attitude and an interest in what is happening.

Snowy is our first rescue for our programs. I saw him 4 years ago, unable to walk and about to be euthanized. I brought him home shaking my head for what I had just done. Perhaps this boy's pain was too much to recover from but when he laid his neck and head against my leg and snuggled into me I couldn't do anything else. He spoke to me that I could help him.

Snowy is a white Miniature Horse, he is the smallest of our program horses and was born approximately in 2007. He is chronic with his founder issues but we work to keep his pain in check and his quality of life as comfortable as possible.

He can be aloof but he can be tremendous fun too. He has quite the personality wavering between cute as can be and naughty. Working with this guy is a hoot as he really does get into it. He is afraid of no one in the herd and is accepted as the little “big” dude. If you like being kept on your toes this guy will do that. Luckily his feet are so small that if he steps on them it won't bother you too much!

Ginger came with Mack, she is a Miniature Horse around 34 inches tall and was born in 2008. She is a red bay with black legs, mane and tail.

Ginger was wild for years before she moved to her previous owner who had to give them up (not her fault) to the Rescue. She settled in with us very well and became snuggly quite quickly. She has a strong personality, not putting up with nonsense from others in the herd and being sensible enough to keep herself happy, usually with Mack, Snowy and Molly. Ginger brings her sensible behaviour to the programs. Making her a definite bonus to have on your team to get through the challenges.

Caro is Cracker's daughter, she came with Cracker from the rescue. Caro stands around 36” tall, she is a very pretty, petite Miniature Horse with flaxen mane and tail and a lovely palomino colouring. Caro is wary, she watches what goes on and stays with the big guys and her dam, Cracker to be safe out in the big fields. Jack and Marley are her favourites to be with but she'll hang out with the boss gal Mocha as well.

Caro presents a cautiousness that people like. She doesn't just jump in like her mom but carefully takes things one step at a time. She offers encouragement and a safe zone for those that like the more established pathway.

Sadly Jack passed away Christmas 2020. We all miss him very much. He was the best!

At the age of three, Jack was already sure of himself and wasn't going to be bullied by anyone. He returned home to me after a failed attempt to lunge and train him under saddle. Taking him to a friend's equine centre I took on the role of trainer and worked diligently with him even though I was often dragged on the lunge from one end of the arena to the other. We worked on respect for each other and developed a love/hate relationship until we met the dressage coach, Eddo Hoekstra. Eddo set us both straight.

I found I had the perfect horse. He proved to be smart and brilliant in his work. As my best friend, we enjoyed many experiences including hunting with the hounds (we never killed anything) the reason I stayed. We went on trail rides, galloped through forests, showed dressage and loved our partnership.

Now retired he brings his wisdom, experience and a good chunk of “show me respect or you'll lose my attention”. He has babysat youngsters, minis and was the lead gelding for years. If you respect and show leadership this guy will work well with you and he'll take good care of you. He's my gentleman.

Sadly Molly passed away in 2021.  Her age and Cushing's Disease finally caught up with her.  We miss her very much.

​

Molly is a rescued Haflinger/Quarterhorse cross. She is 13.2hh, a grulla (more palomino that dun) with her lovely flaxen mane and tail. Molly was going for meat the day I bought her (crippled with founder) it was something I had to do for this sweet older mare. Born approximately 1997 she has struggled with her chronic ailment. Thankfully she bounces back, showing her stoic nature.

Molly is loved by everyone. However, not because she's a pushover but because she is slower, more consistent and less demanding. She teaches us to take things at a pace we're comfortable with. One that allows us to absorb, learn and understand what is going on around us. Bless her big kind heart!

Sadly Cracker passed away in 2021. Below is a video in memory of her.

Cracker is also from the same Equine Rescue as Mack and Ginger. She is a miniature horse, standing around 35” tall and is a chestnut colour. She was born in 2004.

Cracker is easy going, energetic and adorable. She loves to hang out with the big guys especially Marley whom she follows adoringly around the field. She is brave, fun and a favourite of mine because she has it together and enjoys life to the max. She offers stability, expression, adventure and a fantastic partnership.
