Meet Our Horses

Sonny

Sonny is a beautiful, black quarter horse and is Brenda’s original horse and was born in 1992. He has been part of the BNR Stables family since he was 4 years old and was the very first horse to step foot on the property of B’N’R Stables on May 24th, 1999.  He is our oldest horse as well as our top show horse, winning numerous awards over the years with a variety of our students.  He takes great care of his riders and teaches them all about riding, both in and out of the show ring! He is a very special horse to both Brenda and BNR Stables.

Buddy

Buddy is a quarter horse and was born in 2001.  Brenda bought him home as a 2 year old after falling in love with him at a clinic where she worked with him.  He was Brenda’s personal horse for 10 years and they share a very special connection.   He is now enjoyed by students from beginner to advanced riders and has been very successful in competitions over the years.

Amigo

Amigo is the perfect name for this young 5 year old gelding.  He LOVES people and tries to visit with them any time he can.  Amigo is an absolute sweetheart and always tries so hard. He is a beautiful red roan colour and is used in beginner to advanced lessons.

Jaxon

Jaxon is our “pony-horse”.  He is smaller than our other horses but a sturdy build, making him ideal for a wide variety of students.  He is super quiet and willing and a favourite of many young riders. Jaxon came to BNR in April 2017 and is 13 years old.

Leo is our little polka dot pony!  He is a Pony of the Americas and is 9 years old.  He is the newest addition to BNR Stables’ family, arriving in June of 2017.  He is a real sweetheart and loves attention.  He is used beginner to advanced lessons.

Zayla

Zayla was born in June of 2011 and came to our farm in September of that year with her mother, Dainty.  She is a very sweet, quiet natured  girl and is quick at learning new things.  She has already been successful in the show ring and is also great with beginner riders.  She had her first foal, “Indy” in May of 2018. She is currently in training with Brenda.

Junior

Junior joined our herd in 2023 and quickly became a favourite of many students.  He looks a lot like our horse Sonny and we started calling him “Sonny Junior” and then Junior for short.  With his fun character and easy going nature, he is a wonderful addition to our family!

Toby

Toby joined our herd  with Junior in 2023 and is also a favourite of many students.  He is so handsome with a beautiful palomino colour and a very sweet disposition.   We don’t know much about his history other than he came from a ranch out west and was born in 2012.  He was a little underweight when he came but you wouldn’t know it now!   We are enjoying getting to know him and he is a wonderful addition to our programs.

Zahara

Zahara  arrived on July 27th, 2015 with her mom Dainty at only one month old!  She is another wonderful, sweet horse and so willing to please.  She is Brenda’s personal horse and is starting her transition in to lessons.

Zoom Zoom

This beautiful boy was born on the farm May 18, 2016, another of Dainty’s foals.  He is a total “ham” with a puppy dog character.  He is close friends with his Uncle, Buddy and loves to play with the other boys.  He has really come along in his training and is used in intermediate and advanced lessons and is starting into some more beginner classes!

Pepper 

Pepper is our largest horse, she is a Percheron which is a type of draft (work) horse and she came to BNR stables in 2002.   She is Rob’s horse and is used mainly for driving but is fun to ride as well.  She holds the record for the most kids we have ever had on a horse – 10 in total!  She loves to work and is absolutely gorgeous when she is all harnessed up and working in the field.  She is also wonderful to ride and is used in our lesson program – such a treat for our students to ride her!  Pepper is also quite in love with Sonny – they make such a cute pair!
