Our Beautiful Horses
Shiraz aka Raz
Meet Raz – our stunning dark brown gelding. Raz is 15 years old and stands at 17 hands.
Raz is currently training at Elementary Dressage level. He is very good with nervous ridings so suits both beginners and advanced riders. He can be a little bit of a grumpy old man at times but does love licorice so we can win him around!
Buzz Lightyear aka Buzz
Our beautiful Buzz is just 10 years old and like Raz is a gelding. He is bay in colour and stands at 15 hands high. Buzz is a favourite with all my clients!
Buzz suits both beginners and children as he is very quiet. Buzz is currently training at Preliminary Dressage level. He is very affectionate and loves carrots!
Jimee

He’s is the sweetest soul, and always looks after his rider.
Jimee is trained to elementary level. He will teach his rider how to ride and enjoy the carrots after! How does he know you will bring some for him and Buzz to share?!
Here we are enjoying a trail ride – he always looks after his passenger.
Rooster
Say Hello to Rooster, aka Roo
Rooster is an Australian Warmblood who I am currently training to go through the dressage levels.
He is a chestnut gelding and stands at 17.2 hands high. We call him the monster truck!
He is very friendly and always wanting a cuddle. He is not a riding lesson horse, however is wonderful when working with him in the therapy session as he holds space for people very well.
