Would you like to sponsor a rescue horse??

Have you ever wanted to help a horse but don’t have the time, land or resources to save one directly? Have you thought about sponsoring on through a rescue organisation for a small amount of money each week? This way you are helping a beautiful soul without having to do any of the work. The more support we can get the more horses we can save so your help is greatly appreciated. For as little a $2 - $10 per week you can sponsor one of our rescues and your money will go towards that horses rehabilitation, including vet, dentist, chiro, feed, farrier, training and medical treatment. Your sponsorship is tax deductible and you will receive a receipt at the end of each financial year.

For sponsoring a horse you will get: Named as a sponsor on our website (some great exposure for your business), a certificate of appreciation, a personalised album of the progress photos of your sponsor horse; or a framed photo of your horse when he/she is all better and ready for a home. You are also welcome to come and visit your horse anytime you like. Listed below are the horses that are needing sponsors and your sponsorship will finish once that horse has been rehomed but you are most welcome to sponsor another one if you wish. Thank you all so much. At the bottom of this post you will see the instructions on how to start your sponsorship. Massive thanks for your love and support and to all of the people who are already sponsoring one of our horses.

Mishka ~ TB mare that was abandoned on an agistment centre and was surrendered with a lump on her shoulder which was tested as w malignant sarcoma.

Thank you so much

Zoria Update

Zoria was rescued from a lady who was going to send her to the knackery because she wasn't quite enough. There was nothing wrong with this beautiful mare and she was re-homed to a lovely lady who just adores her. Zoria was adopted out last October and she couldn't have found a better, more suitable home. She is just glowing. I'm very happy with her progress.

Ryely is doing really well in his new home

Ryley and Caesar were adopted out together to the same home and Ryely is going just as well as caesar (see below post). Ryley is already about 13hh and is going to be a very big horse. He was rescued from going to the knackery with his mum in November 2010. Ryley had a deformed leg and needed urgent surgery to correct it. He is now 100% sound and will make a great riding horse. Ryley couldn't have found a better home.

Caesar is doing really well in his new home

The beautiful Caesar had his first 3 monthly check in his adopted home and I am extremely happy with his progress. He was bought in November 2010 as a 5 week old orphan foal for $100 from the knackery. Caesar couldn't have found a better more loving home. Isn't he just beautiful?

Candy Update

Candy's vet check went really well. Her eye isn't causing her any pain which is a good thing and she is holding it wide open and blinking fine. The vet seems to think that just leaving it might be the best option at the moment. We are bathing it with chamomile tea 4 times a day and its looking so much better already. She is an aged pony so surgery might not be the best option at this time. We will monitor her and cross each bridge as it comes. Candy has picked up so much in the 2 weeks she has been in care.

Tess Update

Tessy is doing so well since her vet check. Her eye is no longer watering so the tear duct flush worked wonders. Since she started on her joint guard and has had her magnetic pastern boot on, she has been hooning around the paddock like a 10 year old. I'm so happy with how she is progressing. Her coat is nice and soft and shiny now as well and she is very happy with her best paddock friend Louie. She will be ready for a retirement home in no time.

2 Weeks in care

Update on Krystal

Our beautiful Krystal who has been retired with us since she arrived in September 2009 went down with a mystery illness on Friday the 1st of July. She was showing signs of discomfort, distress and was scouring pretty badly. We had the vet to her and she was placed on antibiotics to kill an infection which was in her gut. Her gut was very overactive and the antibiotic worked well, however after 5 days of treatment Krystal went down and she couldn't get up. The vet was called immediately and it turns out she had a reaction to the drug. Its now 1 and a half weeks later and princess Krystal has normal poo and is doing really well. Massive thanks to Andy from Nerang Equine Practice for her amazing help.

Krystal is a 28 year old stock horse mare who has taught two little girls how to ride since she has been with us. She is an amazing, sweet mare with so much love to give. Krystal took a while to pick up in rehabilitation and after a nasty case of impaction colic we decided to retire her with us forever. She will take her last breath in our care and she is loved by so many of our supporters and volunteers.

Having a rest

Tess's Vet Check

Tess saw the vet yesterday and she has chronic arthritis in her fetlock as well as a blocked tear duct. The vet flushed her tear duct and we have started her on joint guard, apple cider vinegar and we just bought her a magnetic fetlock boot. Tess is about 25 years old and has good lungs and a strong heart beat which is awesome. We will monitor her arthritis and will keep everyone posted on her rehabilitation.

Tess still a little dopy from the drugs

Candy has picked up already

Candy is picking up well in care and has twice the amount of energy as when she did when she arrived. She runs around and plays with Blondie now which is awesome. We have been bathing Candy's eye with chamomile tea 4 times a day and have seen a slight improvement. We had the vet booked in to see her on Sunday when he was assessing Krystal who is sick at the moment but our vet was called to a suspected hendra and didn't have time to assess Candy so we have booked him in for this week. She is an amazing little pony with a beautiful personality and we all love her to bits.
