Our Horses

[Breed: Appaloosa // YOB: 2007] Allie loves people and being part of the herd. Most of all she loves her job! We purchased and trained Allie in 2017 and she's been a joy to watch, taking to life at McIntyre with ease.

[Breed: Welsh Mountain Pony // YOB: 2002] Bundy has been an absolute superstar right from the beginning. He has a special ability for attuning his endearing, cheeky and instinctive personality to each rider, knowing exactly what his role is.

[Breed: Shetland Pony // YOB: 2002] Cherry, our sweet Shetland Mum has become a real favourite since joining us in 2017. While not used for riding, Cherry is always in high demand for groundwork programs with children and young adults.

[Breed: Quarterhorse X // YOB: 1994] Chips continues to be a stalwart of the therapeutic riding programs because of his pleasing and gentle nature.

[Breed: Welsh Mountain Pony X // YOB: 1997] Cuddles is the perfect school master pony. Her competence and experience makes every young rider feel like an expert.

[Breed: AUS Riding Pony // YOB: 1994] Garth continues to prefer people over horses and is especially fond of our youngest riders, giving them each a welcome sniff at the beginning of each session. He has the perfect work record and is always well-behaved.

[Breed: Clydesdale // YOB: 2009] Hercules is young, but his curious and gentle disposition and eagerness to please means he's doing a great job at helping our older participants achieve their riding goals.

[Breed: Shetland Pony // YOB: 2005] Jeff is our Shetland poster boy who, along with mum Cherry, has become a favourite at McIntyre. Jeff is in high demand for groundwork programs with children and young adults.

[Breed: AUS Studbook Pony // YOB: 1990] Neon is still used in our lessons by small riders using a bareback pad instead of traditional saddle.

[Breed: Stockhorse X // YOB: 1998] This gentle and compliant horse is used in our groundwork programs. Patch helps out our young people learn horse management skills, along with all sorts of other skills including problem solving.

[Breed: Grey Percheron // YOB: 2012] Paulie is our friendly, gentle giant, standing approximately 16.3 hh. He's very approachable and loves attention from everyone.

[Breed: Dark Bay Riding Pony // YOB: 2011] Pearl was purchased in 2018. As our youngster, she is full of potential and already in our special school riding program helping children achieve their riding goals.

[Breed: Chestnut Gelding // YOB: 2011] Peppy's quiet, gentle nature means he has slotted in very well with our herd. He works in our programs and is a natural!

[Breed: Quarter Horse // YOB: 2010] Our superstar of the intensive therapy and hippotherapy programs, along with other programs. Everyone quickly falls in love with Steel and his gorgeous habit of greeting people with a ‘bop’ of his nose.
