Height: 15.3hh

Colour: Bay with white blaze

Sex: Mare

Breed: Thoroughbred x Clydesdale

 

Vachi is the queen of our herd.  Vachi is Denise’s horse, used for stock work, trekking and the odd Dressage lesson; she joined the team in October 2003. Vachi and Denise have taken part in the Otago Goldfields Cavalcades in 2005, 06, 07, 08, 09 and other treks around Otago and Southland. Vachi’s jumping confidence has greatly improved over the last couple of years and competed successfully at the Owaka gymkhana Nov 08. Vachi is used for clients when not away cavalcading.  Vachi is a versitile horse, a great mount for anyone as long as you don’t let her boss the others on the ride!

Little horse huge personality. Pam was a new addition to the team Dec 2005 to replace Lani. Pam is great fun for children and small adults and adapts well to riders ability. She has a varied background from some Pony Club to trekking and is a great asset to our team. Pam is very safe but enthusiastic.  Great pony to have lessons on whether you are learning to ride or wanting to build confidence after years out of the saddle, she is a great jumper.  Pam is ridden by Kaitlyn (Pictured) at PC and gymkhanas.
