Our Horses

Spydar

16.3 HH
Colour: flea-bidden grey (a colour consisting of white hair coat with small pigmented speckles or freckles..not a flea bitten horse lol).
Ex show jumper and eventer on the mainland/Adelaide. Came back to Tassie to compete. Lovingly gifted by one of our guide’s sister.
Big movement. A gentle soul. Happy to sit at the back of the ride. Wants to be everyone’s friend unless you want to saddle him.

Nipper

15.2 HH
Colour: Bay
Breed: Standardbred
Bit of a loner, bottom of the pecking border in the herd.
Quirks: if you don’t stretch his front legs out after saddling up he will do it himself at the mounting block!
Loves human attention. A fun ride, energetic, loves a canter and a gallop at the beach.

Tess

16.3 HH
A stunning mare! And boss mare in the herd.
Clydesdale x thoroughbred.
Kindly donated. Bred for show jumping although too heavy.
Did horseback trails in High Country Victoria. She has had 5 foals.

Skip

15.2 HH
Colour: Chestnut
Thoroughbred (ex-racehorse).
Lead horse on trail rides. If you get to ride Skip you’ll be very lucky 🙂

Thunder

15.2 stocky built
Clydesdale x welsh mountain x Arab
A very handsome boy!
Big feet, you can hear the Thunder when he canters!
Nickname: grumpy guts, but it’s all pretend. If he can pull the wool over your eyes he will.
Great horse to teach people.

Forrest Gump

16.1 HH
Chestnut
Warmblood x thoroughbred bred by us.
Trained up to medium level dressage. Could have been an Olympic dressage horse. His full brother was purchased by an Olympic rider.
Forrest Gump is an amazing ride. Big movement.

Buddy

15.2 HH
Colour: Bay Standardbred.
Fantastic beginners horse.
Loves to be ridden on a loose rein.

One of the smartest of horses!

Another handsome boy.

Crystal

14.1 HH

Born around 2008
Arab Bay mare
A pretty young mare who loves nothing more than going to the beach. She is so relaxed with the waves at her feet and the sea breeze in her mane.
Loves the bush trails as well, has speed if you like.  A real sweetie suited to learners and experienced riders.
