Meet some of our equine friends and workers
Rupert
" Chandallah Glamour Boy"
16.2hh chestnut Hanoverian gelding
Rupert is for our more experienced riders and he is definitely the 'lead horse' in the paddocks!
Harry
"Arosa Bold Knight"
14.3hh chestnut Arab/ English Riding Pony gelding
Harry adores children and is a successful dressage/ SJ pony. He has the most AMAZINGLY comfortable canter.
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!

Alida
'Aorangi Alida'
14hh, 9 year old, bay Arab x Welsh mare
Alida is an amazing pony who gives her all in everything that she does. She not only is a riding school pony but is our daughter Annie's pony too. They have already started to make a name for themselves in local competitions recently winning the Nelson Summer series at Novice level and qualifying for Horse of the Year.
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. |
Symphony 12.2hh bay 10 yr old mare Sym is just a wonderful pony who loves to do everything. She is an excellent 'hoof-baller' and is learning many new tricks. Has become an excellent wee show jumper and has represented Waimea Pony Club at the Marlborough Trophy Dressage and the Abel Tasman Shield showjumping. |

Salsa
15hh chestnut 7 yr old Arab/ Quarter horse mare
Salsa is often referred to as 'Sally' as she isn't hot or spicy!
A sweet wee mare, half-sister to both Morris and Merry. Another big thanks to Nicki and Bob Gilkison.
Morris
14.3hh chestnut 10yr old Arab/ Quarter Horse gelding
Morris has the sweetest nature.
Morris has proven himself to be a very happy-go-lucky, kind riding pony who seems to take everything in his stride.
Thank you to Bob & Nicki Gilkison for gifting Morris to our family!
