Our Horses
We would not be able to do what we do without our special horses, they are loved, valued members of our club. Our horses train not only in vaulting and cross train in English riding, they also get our on the trails around Yarrow. Any breed of horse can be a vaulting horse but typically you'll see drafts, draft crosses and warmbloods ideal for the sport as they are big and strong and possess the calm disposition and steady gait required to be a vaulting horse.
Cyrus
Clydesdale/Thoroughbred Cross
Cyrus is kind and curious, lower in the herd pecking order, he gets along with all horses. Cyrus knows his job very well as he is our most experienced vaulting horse having been with the club since 2017, we adore his puppy dog personality. Cyrus has been awarded with the BC Trot Horse prize.
Royal Legend
Belgian Draft
Royal is one of our newest recruits, he has a calm, quiet disposition with our humans but has also taken on a lead horse role within the herd.
Rocky
Percheron/Quarter Horse Cross
Rocky is a sweet easy-going guy who knows his job well and does it beautifully- Rocky is our main canter horse for our more experienced vaulters. When arriving for feeding, he's the first to greet you with an excited whinny. Rocky enjoys all the love and attention he gets from the vaulters everyday, especially the cookies.
Mini
Jellybean is a club favourite among all the kids, ok he's a favourite among the adults too - Just look at how cute he is! Mainly a companion horse, Jellybean is a little gentleman, he's patient and calm which makes him perfect to teach little humans all about how to care for horses. Jellybean participates in many of our spring and summer camps standing quietly while the littlest vaulters groom him and learn equine anatomy.

Onyx
Gypsy Vanner/Draft Cross
