Our Horses
Get to know the horses that inspire everything we do!

Andy
LOVED BY ROSE SCHWINGHAMER
Andy is a 30+ year old, 14.2hh Lippizaner stallion; he's an oldie but a goodie. Andy has been with Rose for many years now, and lives the good life. He's a barn favourite, and easily convinces crowds to feed him copious amounts of carrots, cookies and bananas. He's fully retired, but has somehow managed to maintain his fancy lifestyle. Not a fan of cold weather or itchy things, lots of our tack was designed specifically for this old soul!

Winnie
LOVED BY ROSE SCHWINGHAMER
Winnie is a 15 year old, 16.2hh Canadian Sport Horse mare, and is Rose's heart horse. She's big, bold, and charismatic, a fantastic communicator and a lovely soul. Rose has owned Winnie since she was a yearling, and the two have been inseperable ever since. Through every new city, adventure and beginning, this horse has truly been a fantastic friend. Rose frequently has difficulty finding things to fit Winn that don't poke or prod, and so the CommonWealth Collection was born.

George
LOVED BY ROSE SCHWINGHAMER
George is a 10 year old, 15.2hh Warmblood cross gelding that Rose has never quite been able to let go of. She originally sold him as a 4 year old, maintaining him in the winters, and was just recently able to take the ride over again full time. He's incredibly smart, oddly flexible, and sweet as pie. He will do anything for praise or a cookie, and is potentially made of sugar.

Czar
LOVED BY ERIN KAY
Czar was a 17.1hh Spotted Draft gelding. This big guy was the most gentle giant and truly worth his weight in gold (which is a lot of gold). Czar was originally trained as a dressage horse, however he dabbled in a bit of everything; in his younger days he loved jumping, but his later years were mostly spent hacking out, spending time together, and going on family walks with his canine brother. Czar was always eager to please, and truly loved his job and his people. He was as safe as they come, and was always a barn favourite! Czar's favourite treat was banana bread from Starbucks (he may have adopted Erin's taste, oops!), and his favourite pastime (weather permitting of course) was having his face misted by the hose like the king he was.

Frankie
LOVED BY NICOLE LARSON
Frankie is an 8 year old, 16.2hh Holsteiner gelding. He is a laid back dude who loves playing with friends in the field and going on adventures. He loves treats, friends and massages. Frankie is a great guy at home and at shows. He has tried hunters, jumpers and eventing and is super fun in all the rings, and happy to do it as long as he gets a good nap on fluffy bedding after!

Swarenzo
LOVED BY VIRGINIE MORROW
Swarenzo is a 12 year old, 16.3hh Oldenburg gelding. This guy really is the sweetest of all!! Swarenzo has a dog-like personality, and absolutely loves getting attention and kisses. He has tons of energy and is a little bit anxious, which Virginie says makes her a better rider! Virginie and Swarenzo enjoy competing in lower level eventing together, and always have a blast cruising around the xc course!
