Junior
Junior joined our herd in 2023 and quickly became a favourite of many students. He looks a lot like our horse Sonny and we started calling him “Sonny Junior” and then Junior for short. With his fun character and easy going nature, he is a wonderful addition to our family!
Toby
Toby joined our herd with Junior in 2023 and is also a favourite of many students. He is so handsome with a beautiful palomino colour and a very sweet disposition. We don’t know much about his history other than he came from a ranch out west. He was a little underweight when he came but you wouldn’t know it now! We are enjoying getting to know him and he is a wonderful addition to our programs.
Zahara
Zahara arrived on July 27th, 2015 with her mom Dainty at only one month old! She is another wonderful, sweet horse and so willing to please. She is Brenda’s personal horse and we are excited to see where this pair goes together!
Pepper
Pepper is our largest horse, she is a Percheron which is a type of draft (work) horse and she came to BNR stables in 2002. She is Rob’s horse and is used mainly for driving but is fun to ride as well. She holds the record for the most kids we have ever had on a horse – 10 in total! She loves to work and is absolutely gorgeous when she is all harnessed up and working in the field. She is also wonderful to ride and is used in our lesson program – such a treat for our students to ride her! Pepper is also quite in love with Sonny – they make such a cute pair!
