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.
DIGBY
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
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
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
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.
