Meet our herd

We currently have 19 horses with us at the resort. Our herd consists of Clydesdales, Welsh Ponies, Stock and Quarter horses, thoroughbreds, a shetland and mini’s . They all have very different stories about how they came to be with us and have customised care plans and diets to rehabilitate them back to good health.

Ash

Ash is a New Zealand standard bred. Ash is a delight to ride. Can be out in paddock condition for months brought in saddled up and taken for a ride. He is a loner who we often find at the opposite end of the paddocks to everyone else.

Jaffa

Jaffa is our other gentle giant. He is a very playful 4yr old clydesdale. He likes to hang out with the herd and has been to school to help with floating and basic ground work.

Blaze and Boots

Meet Blaze and Boots

Blaze is a pure Morgan. She is the Alfa female of the herd. Blaze loves spending her days wondering free always keeping a close eye on her best mate Boots. Blaze is broken to saddle once back in work she is a beautiful ride.

Boots is a Shetland who arrived with Blaze. He has take to the big horse and loves being part of the herd.

Stewart

Meet Stewart. 8yo

Stewart came to E3R a little underfed and a bit weary for such a young guy. His gentle manner is a balanced for his 800+ kilos. He has become our resident leader of the male pack and also the biggest eater. He is easy to love and easy to ride. Came to us with a twisted spine which has shortened his hard working potential. With a good diet & exercise, he has maintained a good weight programme and his strength has come back as well. Loves a ride and will look at us in such a way as to say – “is that enough now? Happy to go back home if your ready”.

Cherokee

Cherokee the children’s pony. She has vast fan club and is always the favourite to be ridden by all children. Cherokee is also the mother hen of the property. Leading the pack whenever changes have to be made and making sure no horse is left behind.

Jester

This is Jester, he was purchased by a family as a first rider for their child. Unfortunately Jester is completely blind in his right eye and has very limited vision in his left. E3R has built jester his very own safe paddock to keep him safe. He loves hanging out in his own little world.

Jagger

Jagger is the a clown, he makes puts a smile on everyones face. He has done some very basic ground work. When he first arrived to E3R he was somewhat unapproachable. Thanks to the patience, love and care of our Welfare officer Deb Davies he has become a blowfly. Yes every time someone enters the paddock Mr Jagger has his head in your window or over your shoulder to see what you are up to.
