Buttons
10hh grey Timor gelding
What to say about Buttons... he's Terrific with a capital T!!
A few years back he completed the Winter Series Dressage with our 4 year old daughter and took 2nd place overall... what a hero! He LOVES children and loves to show off some of his tricks! He's 36 years young and still loves galloping around in the forestry and, on occasion, still attends Waimea Pony Club!

Blue
'Zahara Blue Moon'
15hh, 10 year old, grey Arab mare
Blue is an absolute delight. She is a great horse to hack out with and really tries hard to please. She is also a fantastic horse to ride at 'liberty' for those wanting to experience tackless riding.
Ellie
16.1hh chestnut 13 yr old Anglo Arab mare Ellie is fairly new to our riding school horses as she recently had a foal for us. Ellie is still undergoing her foundational training . She has the most AMAZINGLY sweet nature and is proving to be a lovely mount.
