Sal arrived as an 8-year-old Shetland x mini surrendered horse, with obesity and severe laminitis. Laminitis is most common during spring, but can happen at any time of year, even in winter, particularly when frosts occur. Sal’s people had ‘inherited’ her and didn’t have the knowledge to look after her so wisely sought our help [...]

The beautiful, marvellous Millie went home today. Millie has been with us for many months, serving an amazing role as Bojangles’ foster mare, allowing him to drink, loving and protecting him and helping to teach him to be a horse. So much of Bo’s social development can be attributed to Millie’s impossibly generous, maternal guidance. One [...]

One of the biggest challenges of raising Bojangles as a bottle-raised, orphan foal, has been helping him to learn to ‘be a horse’. His socialisation skills with other horses has been hampered by his rough start to life and he has lacked horse/herd savvy. Luckily for us, his foster mare, Millie, has ever so slowly and patiently [...]

Copper Sulphate (also known as Bluestone) is used regularly by horse owners when drawing out abscesses in hooves and treating proud flesh, for example. But Copper Sulphate is not always appropriate and in this case it has nearly caused the death of our latest rescue horse. What we’d like to highlight in this post is [...]

Well, this is big news. Shona and Joleena are our longest-term residents, having been with us for two years, as our first rescues after the initial dogger yard rescue of four horses that began this charity. We rescued them from a slaughterhouse holding yard, along with their two-month-old colts at their side. They had come from [...]

Bojangles, four months Someone recently left a lovely comment on this photo when it was uploaded to our Facebook site. She was congratulating us on how great he looks and said, “Nice job, you know your stuff!” Compliments are always nice, but it made me stop and think about that and about just how much we really did [...]

This weekend just gone, we spent a lovely afternoon honouring and pampering our foster carers to recognise the incredible work they do in healing and transforming rescue horses’ lives. We are so very blessed to have an outstanding team of foster carers with us right now. Our foster carers are carefully hand-picked to be part of our team and [...]

We are looking for a very special home to either foster or adopt two of our rescue horses, Shona and Joleena. You need to be located in SE Qld, and have experience with horses. A home with someone who has learned Parelli methods is most desirable, but not necessary. Shona and Joleena are two 13-year-old Standardbred [...]

Tara’s surgery was rescheduled and she has now been for surgery and is home again, being pampered to an inch of her life by her wonderful foster carers, Kathryn and Adam. She was a bit miserable the first day after the surgery but is in much better spirits now and eating a lot, so that’s [...]

Spring sprung early with a bang for us this week. On Friday 12th August, we were contacted by a veterinary clinic who reported that an abandoned foal was wandering the Beerburrum State Forest (last seen on Red Lane), and passed on the number of a contact in the Forestry department, who had the details. Apparently, [...]
