Kittil

Picture






​Kittil is a Norwegian Fjord whose last job was as a cart horse in Canada but he  switched over to vaulting quite easily.  He carries our smaller vaulters.  He loves beach rides, jumping and negotiating trail obstacles when he isn't vaulting.  He is smart and unflappable but maybe just a touch food motivated and lazy.  We love him anyway!


Mooch

Picture
Mooch is a jack of all trades!  Roping, trail, tricks, guns shot off his back and gymkana, but most of all, Mooch loves his vaulters and all the attention that comes with it!  He has carried the flag for the past three years in the Novato July 4th parade and on Sunday mornings he helps Hooves for Harmony give therapy rides to handicapped children.

​Nikolai is the newest addition to our vaulting horse herd.  He is a young Norwegian Fjord who is absolutely adorable, sweet natured and eager to please.  He will be learning all about vaulting this year by watching Kittil and Mooch.  Already Nik has made many horse friends in the field and stolen the hearts of all who meet him!  




Sandy  2004 - 2025

​Sandy was our wonderful Belgian mare. She carried a variety of our vaulters in individual freestyle as well as Pas De Deux and team.  Sandy crossed the rainbow bridge in January, 2025.  We miss her dearly but know that she is with her friends, Tanita, Primo and Dillon.  Forever in our hearts.

Tanita 1996 - 2021

​Tanita was our adorable Norwegian Fjord who had been with us 14 years. Tanita crossed the rainbow bridge on September 1st, 2021 leaving behind many broken hearts.  We miss her terribly and hope that she is running in the green meadows of horse heaven with those who have gone on before her.  Primo, Dillon, Daisy and Star.  

Primo 2003 - 2020

Primo was our Percheron X Morgan cross, who we lost in March 2020 to colic from a strangulating lipoma. This tall, dark, and handsome boy carried many of our vaulters in compulsories as well as freestyle and loved his job.  His passing truly devastated our team and broke many hearts.
