Our Horses
Jill Severn & Medley, eventing in 2006
Medley (retired)
(18/10/98)16hh thoroughbred x warmblood. Medley and Jill had great success eventing in her younger years. Medley was a wonderfully kind and generous school horse and taught countless riders how to canter and jump, before happily retiring to the central coast at the end of 2022.
Yoshi
(1/8/2008) 16.1h quarterhorse. Yoshi is our newest team member. Joining THRS in early 2023, Yoshi is smooth, kind and gentle. He loves people and any form of attention, and has easy to ride, comfortable paces.
Zoffy (retired)
(27/9/94) 16.1 thoroughbred. Zoffy was bred as a racehorse, then found his forte as a very successful, brave 2* eventer for many years before becoming an outstanding school horse for THRS from 2018-2022. Now nearly 30, Zoffy has been retired and lives a simple happy life in Laguna.
Koyuna Pearl
(5/10/2011) 16.1hh warmblood/thoroughbred. Pearl is performance bred for the sport of eventing. She joined THRS in early 2022. She enjoys the attention of the riding school and is a delight to handle. Being naturally very sensitive and responsive, she does a lovely job teaching riders the finer points of dressage, connection, and contact.
Music
(5/9/05) 15.3hh thoroughbred. Before joining THRS in 2021, Music had a very successful and competitive career in the showjump arena. Smart, sensitive and agile, Music is also a beautiful horse to ride flatwork on; she teaches riders interested in fine-tuning their timing of the aids, and finesse about contact and connection. Music is part-leased by Anna, who is enjoying developing her partnership with this talented horse.
Cammy
(26/10/2009) 15.2h thoroughbred. Cammy was a successful racehorse, racing 69 times with several impressive wins and placings, and eventually retiring when he was 9 years old (an unusually long race career!). He joined THRS in 2022, and these days is what we call “more woah than go.” Cammy is calm, quiet and polite and can be ridden by riders of all levels. With naturally balanced paces, he is a great teacher of the basic paces and controls, as well as low level showjumping.
Kahlua
(30/08/04) 15.2h thoroughbred. Kahlua joined THRS in October 2020. Racing under the name To The Sea, Kahlua then found a new career as a nervous teenager’s first horse, where he showed his forte is not in racing but as a quiet and gentle teacher to riders of all levels. Kahlua is responsive, quiet, and willing.
Eskimo Joe
(28/10/08) 16.3 thoroughbred. Mojo joined the team in Feb 2020. He started life as a racehorse under the name of Cane Smoke, then had a successful career as a 1.25m showjumper with his owner in Northern NSW. Mojo is a sweetheart of a horse, a brave and powerful showjumper, and the Goldilocks of herd. His forte in our team is bringing our more experienced riders up the ranks in showjumping; and for the novice riders, finessing the basic controls of steering and the half-halt.
Cayuse Kan Do
(7/11/16) 16h Dutch warmblood x appaloosa. Kadiz is one of the youngest team members. Kadiz is a real people pleaser and a standout character with an obsessive love of water. To know him is to love him.
Roy
(9/9/2014) Hanoverian warmblood. Quirky and sensitive, Roy shows great promise as a stunning performance horse learning the ropes of showjumping and dressage with Lauren.
Pilot
(17/11/2016) Pilot joined THRS in 2022. Starting early life as a racehorse, Pilot raced 3 times and was sacked for his lack of talent before the age of 3. His trackwork rider recognised the kind and gentle loving horse that he is, and took him home, retraining him slowly and gently over 3 years for the sport of eventing. When she had the opportunity t0 move overseas and further her career, she sold Pilot to THRS. Pilot is quiet, brave, gentle and responsive. He loves being part of the gang with his horsey friends; he is wonderfully curious and loves to be a part of everything going around him.
