 CADET-
Our old faithful!
The infamous Caddie was the first one to join the Tarcoola team. A
grand old gentleman, even
the most paranoid of parents smiles as they watch. He has taught
2yo’s to grandmas. With his ‘happy chappy’ attitude Caddie teaches
riders balance and trust. He loves his lessons always trying to
please, always with a smile on his face. He has many
years experience and did pony
club and dressage before joining us in 2005. We feel very privileged to have him.
Owned by Ally and Louise Benstead from Kew we thank them immensely
for letting their beautiful old fellow retire with us. A truly
amazing animal!
ACADEMY-
Another part of our
schooly team is Rothwell Royal Academy. He instills confidence into
his pupils and is like Cadet, an incredibly valued member of our
team. We thank Jamie and Sonya Carmody from Scone for their
generosity in loaning him to us. Before joining us here he carried
riders to royal, state and national level wins in riding classes.
Notably, he carried Jess Stalling to 2001 EFA national junior rider
of the year.
ROBBIE-
Raleigh Cock Robin was a
successful show pony before retiring with us in 2008. His
perfect manner and trustworthy temperament as well as his
workmanlike attitude has made him a pleasure for the kids to ride
and learn on. Robbie has competed at state and royal level
competitions also with success over the years and has also taught
quite a few kids at pony club. We thank Fran Fowler for the loan of
him.
LILLY -
Tarcoola is very excited to
have Manorvale Lalique back home with us to retire in our school.
Lilly played a very important role in our  Show Team during 1999-2003
competing successfully at local, royals and HOTY shows. Lilly
always puts a smile on your face with her beautiful boggly eyes and
fun character. She has found again her old stablemate Theo and we
just love having her around. Thankyou so much to the Parry family
for entrusting their beautiful pony to us again.
SMOKIE-
Old Smoke has been a part
of our family since he was 8. Now 27 he is still helping out in the
school with the littlies, his a very valuable member of our school
horse team, we love him dearly. His old man attitude really makes
us laugh at times but we are sure he thoroughly enjoys his job. He
has taught so many kids so much over the years. He carried both
Rachael and her sister Lisa to many riding class champions and
supremes.
THEO-
Our very successful and
incredibly special Theo has retired from the show ring here as a
schooly. He has an important role as a horse that you can put raw
beginners to more advanced riders on and he comes back to or lifts
to the level of rider. Whether it is learning the rising trot,
playing what's the time Mr wolf in saddleclubs or teaching more
advanced movements, Theo is up for the challenge. There aren't to
many like that. He is used in camos and saddleclubs and enjoys all
the attention that comes with them. Theo has a list of credentials
to numerous to list they include wins and placings at State, Royal
and national level shows. He is part of a very successful family,
with his four full sisters all being highly successful at big shows
too. .
 SCOTTY-
15.3 3/4hh Thoroughbred
Gelding. Scott oozed look at me and star qualitywhen he was shown.
He turned heads wherever he went with his exceptional conformation,
extravagant movement, beautiful front, impressive/ reliable
workouts and showring presence, in which he thought he owned the
show!
He is well schooled and gives
an exceptionally comfortable ride.
Scott has been shown with great
success at Ag shows and HOTY shows, where he was in the top 5 on
most occasions in very strong fields. t.
We are very happy to have this
beautiful boy join our school horses, he was a favourite to show
and its so lovely to work with him in the school.
Here's some links of Scott from
his showing days

FLICKER-
Miss Flicker is 23 years young
and has retired to us as another valued member of our team. She
makes the kids who ride her work for what they want and only does
what she is asked when asked correctly. A little gem that loves to
play games, do some sporting and go for a relaxing trail ride in
our saddleclubs and camps. Thankyou to the Clenton family for
allowing us to borrow Flicker as a schooly. She has been a special
member of their family over the years.
