Failed adoption - Has come back due to behavioural issues

Kirra is a 2022 brumby filly who was found abandoned as a newborn baby in Cherbourg QLD. She overcame many obstacles from needing a plasma infusion to receiving damage to her growth plate. She is now fully healed and has been adopted by GreyGum Equine where she will be broken once older.

Red is a 2005 Thoroughbred Gelding who was surrendered as he was in a very bad way due to neglect. After tracing his history down we found out he was in the movie 'Ride Like a Girl', was started in para dressage and was a nanny. The RSPCA have been involved and he has now been adopted by his breeders who are giving him a forever retirement home. He is now completely healthy and back to his chunky self!

Harley is a 2015 Thoroughbred Gelding who was in need of rehoming. He was sold in 2023 to a woman who runs a stud. He has since been sold on.

Echelon is a 2016 Thoroughbred mare by Top Echelon who was rehomed to west vets as a broodmare in the recipient program. She was bought with the intention of training her as a jumper, but her temperament was not correct for that career path.

Darcy is a 2009 Thoroughbred Gelding who was surrendered due to financial hardship in 2022. He was adopted by a lovely lady who was getting back into riding and wanted a safe trail riding and pleasure horse. He has an old injury to his hoof which causes no soundness issues. 

Geroge is a 16'2hh, 6y thoroughbred gelding. He was transported from North QLD in order to find himself a great home. He is a very lovely boy and easy to handle. George had a 3-month abscess that needed to be x-rayed. It was finally popped by the vet and he was ready for his new home. He has now been adopted as a trail and pleasure riding horse. 

Misty is a 22yr, 8hh pony who was surrendered after her owners faced some hardships. She came in with severe QLD itch which was treated immediately. She had her teeth, vaccinations, worming and feet done and was adopted out in 2023 as a companion.

This beautiful boy is an 8yr brumby from Mt Kosciusko in Victoria. He was dropped off to us straight out of the wild, unhandled and scared. He has come a long way and was even up for adoption! However, we have decided to keep him here. If you are interested in rehoming brumbies, let us know!

Clover is a 14’2, 20yr Arabian mare who was surrendered by her owners in Gympie. They could no longer give her the care she deserved and decided to give us a call. She has gained weight and condition since being here and has enjoyed playing in the large fields. Unfortunately, Clover found herself in the Laidley sale yards in December 2021 and we luckily noticed her standing sadly, underweight and with some concerning leg wounds. She was rescued yet again with the help of other rescues and police, she has been taken on by Amanda Vella. She will be available for adoption once healthy through her rescue.

Harley is a 5yr thoroughbred from the Sunshine Coast. He was surrendered after losing a terrible amount of weight. Although we didn't have the room at that time, we took him on. We then contacted Hucknall Horses and they were more than happy to take Harley on to rehabilitate and rehome. 

Bella is a 15'1hh, 10 yr thoroughbred mare. She was unraced and unregistered, yet branded. She came in with some behavioural issues, however, she made big improvements whilst here. She struggled to get her feet done, load, give personal space and tie. She is green broke and has now been adopted out to be used as a pleasure horse.

This stunning girl was surrendered to us by her owners who could no longer look after her. She is a 10yr, 17hh warmblood x thoroughbred mare. Sadly, she couldn't be used as a riding horse due to old injuries so was a paddock companion only. Solar was adopted out and enjoyed her life as a companion living out her days surrounded by many horses. With heavy hearts, Solar passed away late this year due to suddenly becoming ill. She passed away rapidly whilst on an agistment property and little could be done to save her. Solar was a lovely horse and we are all devastated at her loss. She is now flying high and we are sending her our love. 

Shadow was another surrender from Equine Voice Australia and is a 18yr thoroughbred mare. Shadow was rescued off a dogger and her personality has blossomed since. Shadow will live out her days as a companion only due to an old injury. Shadow has recently been taken on by Equine Action QLD and will be available for adoption as a companion.

Ginger is a 23yr registered QH mare who was surrendered by another horse rescue due to no room. Her owner was having a rough time and could not look after her as well as she needed. She came in emaciated and had not had her teeth done in her entire life. Ginger has been used as a riding horse in her younger years and was also used as a broodmare. She is a sweet horse and very well handled. Ginger has been taken on by Equine Action QLD and is available for adoption. 

Tiah is a registered 20yr Arabian mare who was surrendered after her owner could no longer give her the attention she deserves.

Tiah was then adopted again in 2022 by a more experienced rider and will be used as a pleasure and trail horse on their large property. 

Butterscotch is a TB gelding who was surrendered after a breakup. He was surrendered after losing a fair bit of weight. He is the most gorgeous boy and will let you do ANYTHING with him. He still has a long road ahead to gain weight. Butterscotch has been taken on by Equine Action QLD and will be available for adoption through them.

She has now been rehomed with a family back in Gympie to use as a companion and maybe eventually a kids pony.

He was finally adopted out into his forever home late 2023. Cisco is the horse that started it all. He was a great and safe ride and shows how versatile Standardbreds can be. He will forever be in my heart.

Outback Storm - aka Jack

Jack is a 9yr, 16hh thoroughbred gelding. He was taken in after his owner lost their job due to covid. Jack was struggling with his weight despite futile attempts to help him ranging from unlimited hay, massive feeds, worming, teeth and ulcer treatments. Jack finally started to gain weight whilst with us and was visited by a lovely family who fell in love with him. He was adopted out in February 2022. Sadly, due to the 2022 floods, Jack sustained infections in his bones and developed laminitis. Due to this, he was euthanised as he was in too much pain with no treatment available.

Benne is a 3yr, 15.2hh Anglo Arabian Gelding rescued from the Laidley sales by his old owner. He was then rehomed by his owner to another individual under a free lease. However, he was neglected and had constant abscesses. Due to this, he was surrendered to us. After x-rays, it showed a severe club foot with rotation, bone abnormalities and resorption. Beny was given the last act of kindness in 2022 

Megsy is an aged mare at 25yrs. She was a kid's pony for 8 years before coming here on an agistment basis to find a new home. She was adopted in 2022 to be a kid's horse once again and to live out her retirement. 

Huxley was a 10yr SH x QH who was sold on behalf of a client to a young lady in QLD. He has since been rehomed due to not suiting his previous family. All this lovely boy needs is time and an experienced family. 

Momo was an 8yr 16'3hh TB gelding who came here due to kissing spine. He was then adopted by his old stablehand in Melbourne where he has undergone therapy and is back under saddle. It was discovered that the narrowing in the spine was due to an old injury, not KS.

Kora is a 16yr warmblood x thoroughbred mare who was surrendered after being stuck by a car trailer. She was rehabbed and adopted out by a wonderful family. She has been a good confidence booster for them.

Topaz was a 2yr QH gelding who was surrendered after his owners moved overseas. Due to unforeseen circumstances, they moved back to Australia and purchased this young boy back as they loved him so much.

Athena is a 6yr QH x Arab mare who was surrendered after the owner lost her confidence. She is a well-trained mare and has been a pleasure to ride. Athena was adopted out in September 2022 as a riding mount for a young girl. She will be used for low level jumping.

Paint is a 16yr gelding who was surrendered to live out his days with us. However, more investigations into his soundness showed arthritis in his joints. Due to this, he was sent to Amanda Vella's sanctuary to live out his days. Our paddocks are far too hilly and put too much strain on his joints. He is now happily retired with 3 other horses. 

Cloud is an 11yr Morgan X pony who came from the Sydney Sales. She was surrendered after her owners couldn't care for her anymore. She received some much needed hoof and dental care and was adopted out in October 2022. She is now residing at Highview Park Equestrian and will become a ridden pony for their riding school. She is living a spoilt life with everything she could ever need.
