The Horses are part of the Ambury "family" and are used by our full-time and part-time students for therapy rides. Care of the horses is the joint responsibility of our staff and students. Here are some of them.


Max – is a 16.2hh station bred bay gelding born in 1999. He has been involved in all Pony Club activities and is very steady and reliable. His kind and gentle nature belie his overall size. He is our largest horse needing a 5’9” cover!	Chocolate - 15.2hh brown ¼ horse gelding, born 2003. Chocolate began his career ridden by a pick-up rider at the rodeos. He then went on to a trekking life and has seen more of NZ than many of us! He took part in the Great NZ Horse Trek a number of times. He loves attention and is the most settled when working.	Cindy – is a 15.2hh stationbred grey mare born in 2001. Cindy has been leased to the centre as she has sustained some quite severe leg injuries which prevent her from being able to participate in competitions and endurance rides. She is a forward, willing and sensible horse.	Amara – 15.2hh bay crossbred mare. Born in 2001 and at the Centre since 2009. Amara is in training for both the full time students and part time therapy riders. She loves having her neck rubbed and enjoys cantering.	Wolf – 15.1hh appaloosa x gelding. Born in 1992 and at the Centre since 2003. Wolf is ridden by the full time students. Our spotty horse, he is a rock, a great confidence builder for beginners.	Mir – 15.2hh brown crossbred mare. Born in 1995 and at the centre since 2001. Mir is ridden by the full-time students. She loves to jump, is very pretty and reads personalities well.

Boaz – 15 hh bay Clydesdale station bred cross gelding. Born in 1998 and came to the Centre in 2010. With heaps of character, he is still learning his new job, he will be a very interactive therapy horse.	Arlie 15hh chestnut crossbred gelding. Born in 1995 and at the Centre since 2007. Arlie is ridden by the full time students. He needs lots of work and loves to rest his head on your shoulder.	Frosty – is a 12.2hh Cremello gelding born in 1997. He has been a wonderful first childs riding pony taking part in all Pony Club activities. He does not believe he is a small pony and soon puts all the larger horses in their place! Frosty will be a great asset for the many small children attending the weekly therapy programme.
