Ben came into Saha with three other horses off one property. All four were neglected, some severely emaciated. Ben was the least skinny of them all.
Ben rehabilitated well, the quickest to gain back condition.
Ben has proven to be a joy to have around, becoming a fast favourite with staff.

Recently (8 weeks ago) we sent Ben away to be professionally broken in by Stuart Clunes.
And what a good boy he has been!
A description from Stuart.

‘Ben is super sweet and affectionate, has great ground manners.
He has lovely comfortable, smooth gaits, a super slow trot and lope, and good understanding of collection.
No dirt in him, however can get in his head sometimes if he’s feeling anxious.
Just needs lots of practice and reassurance now and keeping his mind on you when he’s nervous.
Would suit an experienced/confident rider that can help his confidence continue growing.’

Ben has had many rides with Stuart and is now ready to find his forever home. He will make someone experienced and willing to continue with his training, an amazing horse. ❤️

As you can see from his video he lives his best life as a paddock horse and would be thrilled to find a home of his own.
Nation is a great looking horse, he would be ideal for someone who isn’t interested in riding, but may want a pretty horse to show in hand.
Nation loves to be close to humans, and would hang out with you all day if he could.
We hope he can find his lifetime home soon! ❤️

ADOPTION FEE: $300 together under life time contract.

Titan and Magic have been long time Saha horses. They are both retired ex racehorses, and are the easiest boys to do anything with.
They do well on their two feeds a day of cool plus and chaff, love to wander round their lovely big paddock, and Titan will be your best friend if he can find a nice big tree or shelter to snooze under.
These boys are Saha Icons.
They would only go to a five star home with someone who is wanting to give them the best rest of their days.
We understand older horses aren’t as cheap to keep, so we could possibly work out a partial foster situation with them.
But they will not leave Saha unless they are offered the very very best retirement home.
They are very special to us!
Please note, they will only go out as a bonded pair.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Doc came into SAHA a few years ago from his original owner. She followed SAHA and wanted to make sure Doc would be safe for life. He had been leased out as a riding horse after his racing career, but came back to the stable through a change of circumstances.

Doc quickly adopted out with us too, but recently his adoptive owner also had things change with her, and with our lifetime contracts he found his was back to the sanctuary. Doc was treated for ulcers on arrival back, and after the treatment course started to look great again. He is a lovely horse under saddle but does need someone who is competent as he is a raced thoroughbred. Due to an old injury Doc is only suitable for trail riding and pleasure. No jumping or disciplines that are hard on a horses legs. Doc has always been sound with us, and we want to keep him that way.
He has a lovely nature on the ground, but needs a kind firm hand.

Ruby Red is a Stockhorse mare who was surrendered due to being sold as a beginners horse and was not suitable. Within the confines of a round yard she was fine but in open spaces she was a lot more forward.

So Ruby will only be available to a confident novice rider under instruction of a professional, or to an experienced rider who wants a no fuss mare to take out on rides, musters, etc.

Ruby will excel in the right home, and is an amazing little mare under saddle with the right rider up. She needs someone confident who will be her leader.

Ruby has a lot of years left in her and we can’t wait for her to find her family. ❤️
