PAST HORSES

SVG has been operating since 1982 so there a many special horses who will always be loved and never forgotten.

Picture
​Louis was a wonderful 16.3hh Clydie x Thoroughbred gelding. HIs kind and gentle temperament reassured and gave confidence to vaulters of all ages and abilities. Previously a show jumper, he became one of the top team horses in Australia.  He will be greatly missed by SVG.



Santa - Bridgford Aviator

Picture
Santa, named so as he was born on Christmas Day, was our 17.2hh Warmblood x thoroughbred gelding. He was a gentle boy with a big heart, and his strength as a vaulting horse made him a reliable mount for our advanced vaulters. Santa passed away in 2011, and is greatly missed by everyone who had the privilege of knowing this beautiful boy

Sam - Special Event

Picture
Sam was a lovely 16.3hh Arabian x Warmblood gelding. His kind temperament and a rhythmical canter made him a great mount for our more advanced vaulters competing at higher levels.

Mattie - Petite Matisse

Picture
Mattie was a 15.1hh Warmblood Gelding by Sky High. He had a fantastic temperament and provided a great environment for new vaulters to experience all the facets of vaulting, both at walk and at canter.  We miss him very much and even at 23 he looked the most spritely of them all.

Sam - Midnight Contact

Picture
Sam unfortunately passed away in November 2006.  He had been retired from Vaulting for the past 12 months, but is still fondly remembered as one of our most loved horses. Our thoughts go out to Renee his owner, who was kind enough to let Sam be a member of our group for several years.

Rocket

Picture
Rocket was a percheron gelding who had a 20 year vaulting career, starting out at West Pennant Hills Pony Club, where vaulting in Sydney was starting to form. He went to many many competitions in his time, and was retired before passing away in April 2006. He was a valued member of the club, and his amazing contribution to the growth of the sport will remain his legacy. Read Rockets Story
