GRASS HAY AVAILABLE
Cut and shedded since end of January 2023
It’s just paddock grass hay, some bales are better quality than others. My horses love it and have happily eaten it all year.
$10 a bale pick up out of shed. About 150 bales left.

Hello hello!

It’s has been quite some time since we last made a post!

I (April) have been making some massive changes and am now pursuing and studying Veterinary Nursing full time and that has left little time to keep all of you updated.

I began this business 4 years ago because I love Thoroughbreds. I grew up in a non horsey family and was gifted my first (slightly crazy) OTT when I was 12 years old. Through many tears, arguments, wins and loses, he showed me how versatile and beautiful the breed was and I’ve never owned anything but an OTT since.

Im an advocate for the breed and always will be.

I have made the decision to step away from retraining due to a lack of support and a massive market. It’s a highly competitive field to be in and as we are only small operation it’s hard to be seen and supported.

We have had many OTTs come through our retraining program and nothing makes me more proud than seeing them out with their new families, seeing people experience what I experienced with my first Thoroughbred and the joy that they bring. Every horse is remembered and cherished, I feel privileged to have been a stepping stone on their journey.

This has not been an easy decision to make but it’s certainly not the end of Filipa Equine. I am still offering my services as a coach in both the local area of Bunyip and surrounds, as well as the Murrindindi shire.

To clients, owners, friends, family and supporters - I cannot thank you enough for your endless encouragement and support. Small businesses are tough but so rewarding and I’ll never forget this chapter of Filipa Equine.

I am still keeping 3 special horses and am excited to now have a bit of time to dedicate to them (they’ve spent far too long out of work in the paddock!) This page will continue to have coaching and retraining updates on both them and my students.

I hope you’ll join me on this new chapter and see what’s next for Filipa Equine!

The EASIEST horse to have around. Zero fuss, more woah than go.
Works sweetly in a consistent contact, works of the leg nicely.

Has been over poles and small jumps, willing and honest. Schooled off property and was the same out as he is at home. Loves a relaxed hack around the property too.

He will honestly he whatever you want him to be.
I have zero time and property is wet so being sold out of work but home is more important than money! Make me an offer!

This horse is worth a heck of a lot more but I genuinely have zero hours in the day to work any horses at the moment.

She is being sold out of work but this is her 2 weeks ago. Property is slippery with all the rain and I’m working all daylight hours.

Pretty to look at, lovely paces and a beautiful nature, this lovely lady is looking for someone to help her begin her second career!!

Open to offers to find this pretty lady a home with someone who has more time than I can currently give her ❤️

‼️‼️Grab a bargain‼️‼️

It is wet and we don’t have an arena so horses are being sold out of work. Full time study and work means zero time for these horses and they deserve to be someone’s world!

These horses are being sold so far below their value.
All have at least basic flat work, used to all things farm life and are easy to have around. Negotiable on price to the right home.

Unable to be ridden for viewings due to how wet my property is but happy for you to come and meet them, see them trotted up, lunged in round yard ect.
I have video of all of them being ridden.

Couldn’t have said it better myself! 🐴
Maintenance and correct work + care gives you years and years on your older steeds!

Often people panic when a horse is 7yo and only been ott for 6 months. But are surprised when the 3yo is ‘too green’.

A lot of people forget that a horse that retires off the track as a 5yo+ has already had years of life experience. They’ve been rugged, floated, trucked, had the farrier out regularly, seen a lot of new places, worked with other horses, broken in ect.

Yes, their legs have miles.

Take care of them properly and I promise you’ll love that you have a horse with a few extra years on them.

Well done to Abey Performance Horses and her team for advocating for the legends that are, the ‘too old’ horses.

Quality control is very important on the farm and Phyllis takes her role very seriously! 🌱🌾

Homes are needed for all of these lovely horses!
Good homes are the priority, money is not.
The business is changing directions and I simply do not have the time to work this many horses.

These are all lovely horses that have been well exposed to life on the farm. Prices do NOT reflect their quality, they reflect my own urgency in needing to find them their new families.

TB Mare

Anyone looking for some bling?!
Heidi has been with us for a little while, due to an incredibly wet season she has most of last year off as her white feet couldn’t quite handle it!
Now fully shod, she’s in full work and ready to find her person!

A very sweet mare, Heidi is training basic laterals and has experienced all of farm life. Generally requires a little bit of leg to get going correctly.
Jumped up to 60cm at home, bold and honest.

She can sometimes get tense and requires someone who is able to give her a pet and encourage her forward. This happens 1/10 rides. She is NOT nasty in any way, but I will be picky about the type of person that comes out to see her.

She’s been schooled off property and she’s the same out as she is at home.

The most easy baby to have around!
This boy has been incredibly fuss free to bring along. Nice even paces, absolutely no dirt in this lovely boy.

Training basic laterals, much more woah than go! Will be the perfect first OTT for someone to bring along.

Well adjusted to life around the farm and has taken it all in his stride.

Client horse Alfie having a flat school in this lovely SUMMER (!) weather!! ☀️

Alfie will be offered for sale once he is a bit fitter. He’s a 16hh 14yo TB gelding who has been owned by a beginner for the last couple of years and before that did some show jumping.

He’s a solid unit and been a sweet boy to bring back under saddle!

🎶 It’s the most wonderful time of the year! 🎶

It’s the beginning of fly season! Yay! Not.

The horses are all beginning to wear their astronaut gear, our Amigo fly rugs keep any bug bite or irritation away whilst keeping the horses cool and the Amigo fly veils make sure pink noses don’t get burnt and flies don’t get in eyes!

Thankful for good products to keep the horses looking and feeling their best all throughout the year.

A big day yesterday with Filipa The Pound Keeper (Eddie) and Filipa Kezaam (Zaamy) out at a local PC SJ comp.

It was Eddie’s first SJ outing and he was an absolute legend. Couldn’t fault this horse, he handled the boggy conditions and the hectic atmosphere like a seasoned professional. I made the decision to put him in a lower grade to help his confidence and it’s safe to say Mr long legs couldn’t quite be bothered with the little jumps 😂 A few rails, but absolutely no hesitation and very willing. Definitely going up a grade next time!

Zaamy did a super round, jumping clear and felling incredibly confident. Unfortunately in our next warm up he let me know that he was uncomfortable so we’ll be chasing that up this week!

Thank you to my super groom and biggest supporter Kerryn Male! Was a great day to get out an about and I’m looking forward to the next one! (Also how cute is Eddie in all of these pictures ❤️)

Apologies to everyone who has enquired about Isla over the past couple of weeks. The spring grass hit her like a tonne of bricks and I’ve been working on getting her settled before I organise viewings and more information on her.

A super ride with her today. Onwards and upwards from here!

OUR MISSION

Growing up in the Pony Club and Eventing world, we are aware of the tremendous talent and heart that thoroughbreds have to bring to all riders, young and old.

We take horses off the track to rehabilitate, train and them re-home them with amateur and professional riders throughout Victoria, with a focus on the prefect fit for both rider and horse.

Here at Filipa Equine, we wish to see all of our horses have a successful second career in whatever suits them best.
