Star is looking for a home Again due to no fault of his own.

I don’t think people realize just how many horses out there carry trauma with them.

With that, I don’t even mean severely abused horses that have been starved, or beaten heavily. There are plenty of those around, and those usually cause a lot of outrage (as they should).

What I am talking about though, is the horses whose trauma is never really recognized as such. The ones who tolerate humans and their requests, but never learned to trust them. Those who get extremely obsessive about food which are labelled as “bossy” or ”dominant”. Those who deal with severe Separation anxiety, which are said to be “dramatic”. Those who cannot self-regulate, or co-regulate and constantly carry tension. Those who try to express their pain, which get punished for it because “just a mare”.
Those who are “perfect” until they finally get a choice.

Between Unethical weaning practices, unsuitable welfare, constantly moving homes & and ownership, and aversive training/handling approaches, most horses at some point experience trauma. And this trauma can present itself in a variety of ways. Some are more subtle than others.
Trauma doesn’t have to be this huge explosive reaction. Just like people, horses can carry trauma and move on with their lives fairly normally. It can shape their personality just like it can shape ours.
However, that doesn’t mean doing so is healthy.

The horse that has been in 6+ homes before the age of 10, and thus can’t cope with changes. That is Trauma.
The horse that has never had consistent companionship and becomes obsessive with certain herd mates. That is Trauma
The horse that has only known corrections when they tried to express their confusion, fear, or dislike, and turns from “a perfect beginner’s horse” to “Don’t touch me” the moment you stop using corrections. That is Trauma.
The horse that never had a chance to learn from other horses or connect with people and thus can’t trust people to make good choices for them, can’t self-regulate or co-regulate, and can’t think their way through a situation. That is Trauma.
The horse who was only ever fed 2 times a day and was left without food for 6 hours each night, and has thus become food-aggressive. That is Trauma.
The horse who experienced highly aversive training techniques, and thus now gets frustrated, tense and severely stressed out anytime they are handled in a similar manner. That. Is. Trauma.

Sometimes, awareness of this can be a frustration and defeating realization. I think as equestrians we are often blind to this reality, because sadly, it’s just so common to see horses like that.
It’s not until you work with young, untraumatized horses, or rehabilitated horses, that you realize: “Oh! This is how it should be!”

When you live on a farm and your son says there is nothing to do, so you take that as an expression of interest to get one of your 165 jobs done ✅ 🫣😅😛😛

Name: Debanlay Party Girl (Poppy)
Breed: Registered Riding Pony (I don’t have her papers on me personally)
Age: 11
Height: 14hh
Gender: Mare
Colour: Liver Chesnut
Rider Suitability: Intermediate to advanced Ideally that 2nd/3rd pony or a great mare for a small adult or led line for beginner/novice.
Location: NABIAC/WANG WAUK MID NORTH COAST

Poppy is a sweet girl with so much talent!

With stunning Looks and movement this mare would excel in most disciplines and I believe she could be competed multi disciplinary.

Ideally she would suit a home where she would be an amazing asset for a confident child and/or adult to pursue and improve their riding with the potential to excel.

Being a sweetheart by nature she would also be suitable as a led line.

She is forward moving, soft and responsive.
She has nice balanced paces and holds a frame.

Her riding career has seen her compete in shows, dressage, some pony club, cavaletti’s, small jumps and trail rides.

Currently paddocked with a herd of horses and is in the middle of the pecking order.

🌺 Has displayed no dangerous vices whilst here.
🌺 Sound, clean legs
🌺 In work, ready to move forward with her new person.
🌺 Good to catch, shoe and float. Currently barefoot. Has been shod when showing. (Can sometimes be hard to catch when she is out of work.)
🌺 Can be ridden irregularly but like most horses benefits and improves with regular work.
🌺 Sweet affectionate mare
🌺 Can be ridden alone or with other horses.

She does suffer from some itch, which is being managed as best as can be in this climate.

✅ Up to date with teeth, feet and worming.

Breed: Registered Riding pony x Tb
Height: 15.2hh
Age: 10
Gender: Gelding
Rider Suitability: Novice (under instruction) to experienced
Location: NABIAC/WANG WAUK MID NORTH COAST

Coming in!!

Percy - REGISTERED Riding Pony X Tb grey gelding. Approx 15.2hh and 10 years old.

Friendly boy who thrives off attention and a job to do. Ready to take on his next adventure due to his owners injury and lack of time.

Has done pony club, dressage days, clinics and trail rides.

Hasn’t done as much recently due to owners injury. Has been brought back into work ready for sale. Will be thoroughly assessed when he arrives at my facility and more information will be provided.

🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻 SALE ON HOLD 🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻 owner may be able to keep him now. Smokey gets to hang here until we know for sure. Will update once I know 100%.

Smokey is here 🙌

SMOKEY - Chesnut TB gelding. Approx 16.1hh and 7 years old. Barely raced - too slow. His owner has made the heartbreaking decision to rehome him due to work and family commitments/time constraints. She absolutely adores this sweet loveable guy. He thrives off attention and would be suited to someone who would like a green but safe horse to continue on with. Has been ridden by beginner/novices. Green is his flatwork but nice comfy paces. More woah than go. Easy to do all cares with but can be pushy at feed time. Has been paddocked alone.

More info to come.

🏠🏠 PERFECT HOME FOUND 🙌🙌

Name: Teddy
Breed: Clydie X Stock horse
Height: 14.3hh
Age: 10
Gender: Gelding
Rider Suitability: Confident intermediate to Experienced
Location: NABIAC/Wang WaukNSW

On behalf of owner, Teddy seeks a new home that would be more suitable for him.

He has been with his current owner for 12 months and has done mostly arena/flatwork, riding around the property and some beach rides.
He previously came from Sydney and was at centennial park where he was exposed to a lot.
His history Involves showing, low level jumping and prelim dressage competitions.
Educated, responsive, and a very comfortable ride in all 3 paces.
Teddy is a sweet boy who gets along well with other horses.
Teddy is versatile and we believe he would suit most disciplines. He enjoys work and being pampered(loves his stable) so a show home would be ideal.

Teddy is good to do all cares with. He is well mannered and mostly calm, but has his nervy/worried moments so looking for a kind hand that could help him through these moments with understanding.

His flat work and work ethic is admirable. He has his own motor, whilst being soft in the contact and will also travel along on a loose reign.

Rehoming due to not suiting his current home. He is most comfortable ridden with company or in enclosed/smaller areas when on his own. Owner states he lacks confidence by himself in big open spaces. He has also shied (big shys) and taken off, causing his owner to loose confidence. This is a sad sale but a necessary one for him and his owners best interest.

Rehoming with full transparency and Owner is open to price negotiation for a suitable home.

✅ No itch - BONUS
✅ No known health or soundness issues
✅ Blingy boy - with a very look at me presence
✅ Easy to c,s,f
✅ No buck, bite, rear
✅ Up to date with teeth, feet and worming

🩺🐴🧲 Vet checks welcome at purchasers expense. A full vet was undertaken just over 12 months ago when he was purchased by current owner, which he passed with no issues.
