Otherwise known as “Fabio”, Hughie is a palomino gelding by One Awesome Moment out of Flirtatious Score. He is kindly on loan from Gemma. His good looks are matched by his beautiful nature.

Darby is owned by stalwart volunteer Simon D’Arcey who lends him to us for each program. Darby was bred by Bill and Julie Peadon. We also call him the “quiet achiever” after his BP brand.

Digby is by Cloverleigh Billabong out of Collins Dynamic and also came to us through Hugh and Georgie Rainger of “Underwood”. Digby is the other horse Hugh’s late father Terry Rainger bought along with Sam at the Landmark Classic in 2007.  He is by chance a full brother to Darby who also features in our team. Digby’s favourite country music artist is Slim Dusty.

Black Duck is by Blue Duck Okie out of Eskdale West Rock N Roll. She has done some incredible camp-drafting for the Walsh family who wanted her to come to Remount for which we are forever grateful.

Missy is a QH mare called “Dainty Oak” who came off a dairy farm in Echuca. Missy loves chasing cows and yet is so gentle with all her riders.

Bundy is a 9 year old gelding by High Brows Doctor out of Spindletop. He came to Remount on a very generous deal from Wendy Gould and her husband Chris, for which Remount is very grateful.

Bundy is quiet, well trained and a real pleasure to handle. Bundy is the perfect all-rounder for Remount.
