Diggers Rest Horses|Euro
Euro is a fantastic horse for riders who might be a bit anxious. He looks after children too, with his quiet, no hurry character. If an experienced rider takes him out, he will wake up a bit and give them a good ride as well. Horses like Euro are truly invaluable. Spread the wordEmailFacebookPinterestTumblrTwitter

We are open for the Season!
We’ve been waiting to see what the weather was going to be like around Easter. It looks like the rains won’t be too serious, so we are opening for camping, and for accommodation in the bunkhouse. Our bush huts will be available mid April. We’ll start up our horse riding about mid April as well.…
Diggers Rest Horses|Snarlie Girl
Going on twelve years, this mare is in her prime. Nyarlie’s my top horse for cattle work and for guiding. Her tendency to put others in their place with a mere flattening of the ears can come in handy, and that’s why she was bestowed with the nickname Snarlie years ago . Her proper name…
Diggers Rest Horses|Henry
Young Henry is quite the character, with a tendency to get in to interesting situations, due, I think, to his bold curiosity. When he was a yearling, he managed to lock himself in the hen house. We found him standing there, patiently waiting for us to let him out. He likes to know what’s going…
Diggers Rest Horses|Salty
Salty just keeps going strong. He’s over 20 now but still holds his weight well and keeps his mares close. When Salty first arrived at Diggers 16 years ago, he was more of a SaltnPepper, but now he’s a beautiful solid white. Some folks call him our Barbie horse because he is rather glamorous. His…
What’s in your saddle bag?
Well, I can tell you what’s always in mine! You’ll find a first aid kit, duct tape, bailing twine, and a leatherman for a start. I can also manage to get two water bottles, fruit, sandwich, and sometimes an eperb and a satellite phone in there. You could also add sunscreen to that list. It’s pretty amazing…
Diggers Rest Horses|Quartz
[twocol_one] Because he’s a little gem! Quartz is the horse you want to be riding to set a good pace. He’s our number one power walker, and probably our most sure-footed horse. Put him and Roderick together and we all get left behind! This little gem becomes fast friends with whoever has the pleasure of…
Diggers Rest Horses|Chingaloo
Chingaloo, which means ‘little man’, is a sturdy, tough little horse. He may not be the bravest of Diggers horses but when you ask something of him he comes through for you. At mustering time, Chingaloo steps up to the task at hand, ears on the cattle and ready to turn on a dime. The…
