Karen owns the only purebred Kiger Mustangs mustered from the wild. Contact her to meet them.
Christchurch Icelandic Horse Treks
Inga Currey has been a huge influence on the growth of the Icelandic Horse breed by offering a fantastic, beautiful and safe experience of these horses and their wonderful tolt gait in Canterbury. She actively breeds horses herself and has imported a fantastic Stallion that has diversified the gene pool further.
Such a wonderful way to be introduced to this lovely breed is to take a lovely ride along the beach to experience their fantastic tölt.

Sonia Lamb has been riding a Morgan Horse for her Trick Riding displays, demonstrating a very interesting skillset the breed is suitable for. She perfoms at many horse events such as Equidays, A&P shows and joins us at the Rare Horse display events.
Her and Duke have also featured in a magazine recently.
Sonia has recently retired. We thank her so much for the joy she gave to all who had the pleasure of watching her run.

This website is a work in progress. Please reach out to correct and update information. We would like to feature great educational videos, photos of real horses proving their versatility and strengths, accurate preservation status numbers, news on the breeds from NZ and overseas, up to date contacts, links to websites, registries and associated entities for the breeds and more. In some instances placeholder or international images have been used where some nice local horses could be, we use what we can find at the time (hopefully without getting in trouble). We appreciate images supplied if you have any New Zealand based images.
