Diggers Rest Horses|Lass

A slow race horse can on occasion make for a more than fast enough cow horse.  Lass came off the track, but has really taken to working cattle.  She has a lovely quiet nature, and has definitely won a few hearts out here at Diggers, including that of our mate Andrew, who has her at…

Diggers Rest Horses|Snowy

Quick on his feet and ever alert, this little pocket rocket is a ripper of a mustering horse.  It’s always good to know he’s out there helping with the cows, especially when his rider is our favourite human pocket rocket, Monika. Heart and soul, he’s really her horse and she just lets us keep him:)…

Diggers Rest Horses|Cody

Cody is one of those horses who is just too smart for his own good sometimes. When he realises that he’s the one making all the decisions, it’s “we are doing this my way,”and the person on his back is just along for the ride.  Cody will sit up the front and carry them along,…

Diggers Rest Horses|Chica

This has been Chica’s first season with us, and she has already become invaluable to our mob.  Five year old Chica came to us green broke back in March. After a few weeks with our mate and horse trainer Neil Carter, and our gentle French horse handler Flore Roux, she had become a soft, willing…

Diggers Rest Horses|Duke

Named after John Wayne because he looks like he could’ve been in a yippee movie, Duke has more than earned his keep over the years.  He’s the type of horse that will carry just about anyone.  He is very tolerant of beginners, and when he has someone on his back who knows what they are…

Closing for the season of 2016

Our season has come to an end, but we’d like to thank everyone who made it out to Diggers this year.  We had some fantastic times with wonderful guests and amazing friends.  So, here’s to all of you! Spread the wordEmailFacebookPinterestTumblrTwitter

Diggers Rest Horses|Anzac

Anzac had his first ride out on Anzac day this year.  He’s fast become a good, quiet horse.  Anzac has mustered and gone on nine day treks in hot humid conditions, proving to be a tough Kimberley horse. He’s definitely an old soul in a young body. What Anzac lacks in good looks he more…

Diggers Rest Horses|Doris

Doris is not for everyone, and probably never will be, but once she trusts you, she’s got you hooked.  Our french agricultural student, Laurena Bonnet, spent many hours with Doris this year, and they have both come out shining.  Doris is still wary of a few things, but she has come such a long way.…
