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.

DAISY

Daisy’s dad is Ladies Smokin’ Dude and her favourite country music artist is Taylor Swift.

HUGHIE

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

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

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.

FROG

Frog is a 3 year old Quarter Horse filly by Mr Salty Blue Man out of Olenas Makin’ Magic. Susan Grant has very kindly loaned Frog to Remount permanently – so generous and very much appreciated!

RUSTY

Rusty also lives with the Miller family and is an Australian Stock Horse.

SAM

Sam’s full name is “Samuels Tom” and is an Australian Stock Horse gelding by Lindsay out of Lady Rob Roy. He was born in 2003. Sam is on loan to the Remount team from Hugh and Georgie Rainger. Hugh’s late father Terry Rainger bought Sam at the Landmark Classic in 2007.  The “Binalong Drover” kindly cares for Sam (along with Hunter).
