Diggers Rest Horses|Trevor
Our most recent addition to the herd, Trevor has already won us over with his sweet nature and willing spirit. He came out to us just in time for the June muster, and learned so quickly what the cattle work is all about. Trevor has also slotted in perfectly as a trekking horse, fitting in…
Diggers Rest Horses|Pearl
‘Pearl of them all’ may be a small mare but she has a big character. Pearl joined our trekking herd last season and has fast become one of our standby horses. She has been known to test her rider’s confidence with a little defiance at times but with an experienced rider on board she shows…
Young Horses

Diggers Rest Horses|Tomboy
Tomboy came to us on loan last season, and we found him to be such a fantastic horse that we had him back again this year, for keeps. He is willing, well-trained and loves working cattle. Not for the inexperienced rider, Tomboy is quite clever and needs a rider who appreciates that in him. Spread…

These fellas are keeping our horse trainer Joe Guy very busy. He’s doing a fantastic job with them, and they are coming along nicely. It looks like they are all lined up, ready and waiting to come through the gate and get to work…but actually, they are just checking out a few of the new…
