Our Horses
Here at Swiwi Farm we believe in quality before quantity. We only have a small breeding herd and our mares get regular breaks from breeding to be ridden and to continue their training.
All our young stock is growing up in a mixed aged herd where they learn the natural behavior and can grow and mature with tailored nutrition and regular handling.
​
​
Our Breeds
We have specialised in two rare breeds - the Icelandic Horse and the Warlander. Both come with their unique traits and needs. We are excited to be the first Warlander stud here in New Zealand and feel very privileged to be part of an ever-growing Icelandic community.
