 Murphy was a former driving horse with a wonderful temperament whom has taken to vaulting very quickly.  He has proven to be a wonderful dressage, jumping and trail horse, in addition to being a versatile vaulting horse from canter to our “Tiny Tot” vaulters.

Guinness is an “OTTB” (Off The Track Thoroughbred) of Canadian breeding  and Great-Grandson of Secretariat whom Gibran re-trained and competed in Dressage.  Guinness ultimately became OC Vaulting’s very first vaulting horse, later carrying  “Tiny Tots” as well as our beginning canter vaulters.

Jameson is a Belgian cross who came from Michigan. He is currently training to carry all levels of vaulters with comprehensive dressage training and trail riding to help him cross train. He is has a wonderful temperament, and shows great promise.
