Horses

Remount horses are a mix of registered Australian Stock Horses and Quarter Horses. They are all used for competition, recreation and work in between programs.

Our Horses

The Remount owned horses are billeted out to the volunteer team who maintain their fitness and health throughout the year.

To support the Remount programs, volunteers also bring their own horses for either themselves or the visiting drovers depending on needs.

Drovers are carefully matched to their horse for each program, based on their experience and other factors.
