Cash flow is our biggest challenge when rescuing these majestic creatures. We are limited to the amount of horses we can rescue by the amount of funds we have. If you could help by sponsoring a horse for $10 per week, or if you could commit to a regular weekly donation, even just $2 per week. Or if you could help with a one off donation that would help more than you know. Please email saveahorseaustralia@yahoo.com.au and thank you from the bottom of my heart. xxx

This is Judge, he is a 17hh TB gelding who was surrendered with chronic stifle lock. Judge isn't a happy horse and is kicking out and isn't friendly at all. He is in quite a bit of pain and has been started on joint formula as well as being booked into the chiropractor.

Judge is also looking for some sponsors, if your interested in sponsoring Judge to help with his rehabilitation please email me saveahorseaustralia@yahoo.com.au for more information. Sponsorship cost $10 per week and lasts while the horse is in care.

Tyson - Healing hearts

Tyson was surrendered earlier this year due to going blind. He is only 3 years old and had an accident which damaged the optic nerves in both eyes. Many people said he should have been put down but losing his sight hasn't fazed this amazing boy and he is now working with Harmony Hooves Healing Hearts helping disabled and disadvantaged people and has done work with Vision Australia. If you saw how this horse interacts with the people he is helping you would be amazed. He is a real healer, truly one in a million.

We rely on the public and desperately need help

Bad economical times have seen a huge influx of horses requiring help and have also seen a decline in financial support. If we could get just 1000 people to donate just $2 per week this would help more than you know. We are fully registered 100% not for profit and are run solely by volunteers.

Cash flow is something that we need most when rescuing horses. There are always a lot of ongoing expenses including feed, vet, farrier, dentist cost etc. If you are in a position to offer us an ongoing weekly donation please consider setting up a direct debit each week into our account. Once again using only your surname as the reference. Email us your name and address and at the end of the month you will get a month receipt. Our monthly expenses are well into the thousands and if we could get just 1000 people to donate just $2 per week that would help more than anything. Not many people would even miss the $2 per week which would go along way to help our sanctuary rescue these amazing animals. Please help us by being a regular supporter.

Gemmy Update

Gemmy was rescued last month from Gympie when we went on a rescue mission to pick up a Clydie in need. She was pretty poor and coated in lice. Gemmy went down with a nasty chest infection as well which gave as a hendra scare but she is progressing well and has fallen in love with our big TB gelding Rusty. They groom each other all day long. xx

2 weeks in care


After a nice bath


You can see all of the dead lice and eggs

Candy Update

Candy came to us a before winter in poor condition and with a carcinoma on her eye, she has gained weight really well, made it through winter with flying colours and the vet is super pleased with her eye, however her sight is progressively getting worse. She follows little Blondie around everywhere and stresses if she cant see her. Candy will be staying at the Sanctuary until she takes her last breath, she is far to old and in no state to be re-homed. Candy's retirement can be sponsored for only $2 per week which will help with her feed and medical bills. If you would like to sponsor Candy please email me saveahorseaustralia@yahoo.com.au and I will email you more information. Massive Thanks in advance xx

We have a new rescue

This is Bella, she is a 10 year old TB mare who is in poor condition and very weak. Bella's blood test show they she is chronically anemic, has low white blood count and that her liver is really struggling. We have put her on 5 small meals per day, an iron supplement called “Blud”, a herbal blend to help heal her gut, boost her immune system and help her body to heal itself. She is also on antibiotics and will have 2-3 courses to try and kill the infection in her body. After the antibiotics she will go on a course of omaguard as well and she is having vitamin B shots along with rosehip for vitamin C. She isn’t in a very good way at the moment but slowly she is getting better and I have really noticed the difference in just 3 days. Bella is also having an essential oil massage twice per day which she loves.







Bella is currently looking for some sponsors, if you’re interested in helping support Bella through her rehabilitation for only $10 per week please email me saveahorseaustralia@yahoo.com.au using the subject “bella” and ill email you all of the details.
