Some of the horses they have rescued ~

GRANDMA: I first saw Grandma at the Gympie horse sale in the meat buyer section. She was so skinny, weak and unwell and seeing her in such a state broke my heart. She was purchased by a meat buyer and I then bought her from him. She came to our Gilston Rehabilitation Centre for 7 months before being rehomed to an amazing loving family who were looking for a beautiful companion.
Before ~ in poor condition

After ~ 3 monts later, happy and healthy

 

BANDIT: Bandit was abandoned on an agistment property after finishing his racing career. He was surrendered to us for rehabilitation and after getting him healthy we discovered that he had a calcified ligament in his pelvis so wouldn’t be suitable for Pony Club of Jumping. Bandit has since been rehomed to an amazing lady who is doing natural horsemanship and pleasure riding with him. He is a beautiful, soft natured horse with so much love to give.

BRANDY: Brandy’s old owner surrendered her when she couldn't provide the treatment the horse needed. She came from a property in Dalby QLD with a nasty skin infection which was very similar to ringworm and infected rain scald. We had many tests done which all came back inconclusive and after she suffered a few seizures we made the very hard decision to have her euthanized. Brandy was with us for over a year and left hoof prints on all of our hearts.

FREYA: I first saw Freya at the Gympie sales in the meat buyers section with her little foal who was only about 2 months old. I saw her while there doing some research and I fell in love with the very frightened unhandled mare. After the sale I was trying to track down what knackery bought her and when I found her they told me that her foal had already been killed. I drove out to the knackery on kill day and bought Freya home, alone and scared and after 9 months of rehabilitation and some training Freya found the most amazing home where she will be loved forever.

HOPE: Hope was rescued from the knackery as a weanling. She was a wild unhandled little filly and the vet said she was in pretty bad health but after 8 months of rehabilitation and training she turned out to be a beautiful little filly who has been adopted into an awesome forever home.
