Do we deserve $1000 to help us rescue horses, pay our bills and work for long-term changes to end to the cycle of horse slaughter?
We think so!
Vote for us at Brisbane radio’s 4bh website and tell 4bh and Colonial Firs State Initiative why we should get $1000 to help us continue our good work. Maybe it’s because we’re working not only to rescue horses in need now, but also to campaign for laws to assist horse welfare in the future. Maybe it’s because we’re working with the community in education initiatives to help raise the level of horse welfare. Maybe it’s because we are a young organisation that is still getting on its feet and need to pay lots of start-up bills. Maybe it’s because you just love horses so much and you just can’t stand to see them suffer.
Whatever your reason, tell 4bh and Colonial and we could benefit with a $1000 donation to our organisation.

The pet food industry in Australia is a self-regulated one. Because the food is not fit for human consumption (which means that diseased, cancerous and medicated animals go into it), there are no labelling laws that govern it.
Solomon, born Nov 2009, Standard Bred, colt
But we have a right to know what is in pet food. If we want to make a conscious decision NOT to feed horse (or any other animal) to our pets, we need the companies to label their food. We all know that horses like two-month-old Solomon (recently rescued and in our care) end up in pet food, but not one company is brave enough to label it on their packaging.
We have begun contacting pet food manufacturers to ask which of them use horse. And if they don’t? We’d like them to include a “horse safe” label on their packaging. Over 80% of horse owners also own dogs. To label your product “Horse Safe” is a tremendous marketing advantage.
Please help us to draw this attention to the pet food companies and sign our petition HERE. Please pass it on to your friends and spread the word. You can also find us on Facebook “Campaign for labelling of horse-free Pet Food“.

While we are still glowing with the joy of rescuing our latest equine friends, we are also looking to the future. We are passionate about horse welfare and horse rescue, but we are also realistic. We know that no matter how many horses we rescue, there’s an endless supply of them waiting to take their place.
That’s why 2010 is going to be a big year for us. We want to shake up the laws and systems that are currently in place and supporting the cycle of horse slaughter. We want to address the CAUSES, rather than just the symptoms. We want long term care and protection of horses.
We will continue to rescue horses. We have to. But at the same time, we’ll begin the big job of tackling the root causes of the problem.
Alwyn Blayse has taken on the big task of Campaign Coordinator so stay tuned to hear where we are up to and to find out how you can help. It will be a long journey, for sure. But with consistent efforts and focus, we can achieve the changes that Australia so desperately needs.
You can email Alwyn at charliescampaigns@live.com.au if you want to be on the mailing list, or to share your ideas about how we can make these changes, or if you can volunteer to help our campaign.

We are exceptionally excited to announce the arrival of four new and beautiful horses into our care today.
Two Standard Bred mares, each with her own perfect young foal, left the holding yard where they awaited slaughter and walked with impeccable manners onto our float to go to their new foster home. Here’s a sneak peak of the new arrivals and stay tuned for more specifics and to watch them progress from reasonable condition into glowing healthy mums and bubs.
We are incredibly excited to have saved four such beautiful horses and look forward to the day when they can be adopted into their new forever homes.
Extra special congratulations to Charlie’s Angels volunteer and foster mum, Sharon, who had to make two very long trips each way to bring them home and into her care.
If you would like to donate to us to help us care for these fantastic souls, please click here.
(P.S These pics were taken on the float and in the holding yard. Their new foster home is much nicer!)

Newsflash!! We have two mares and foals arriving very soon. They are all Standard Bred’s and are marked as “doggers” and currently in holding yards awaiting slaughter. The mares are quiet and able to be handled but the foals (approx. 3 months old) are pretty wild.
We are anxiously, and excitedly, awaiting their arrival.
We’ve no idea what condition they’re in but can probably assume they’re pretty poor. One of the foals is lame. It’s possible the mares are pregnant again. This is a typical scenario for horses that are due to be “dogged”. Backyard breeders let horses breed (or intentionally breed them) and then have no idea how to manage them or support them so send them off to slaughter.
The slaughterhouses are full of colts, stallions, pregnant mares (some due any day) and starving foals.
We’re going to need some serious cash to help these guys out, so if you’re able to help, we’d be very grateful. You can DONATE NOW to help us take care of them and find them the forever homes that they deserve.
Stay tuned for photos and more details….
