It’s an amazing experience, fantastic fun, wonder memories to be made and you will be saving the life of a beautiful heritage Brumby and getting an amazing riding companion to boot…
Well what a champ Chance is. This is a quick video I did this morning when I spent a little time with him. Please note girth is on the last holes and the girth is still 6" short. Chance didn't mind so why should I.
" UPDATED NOTICE" Chance has a new home he is going to Coffs Harbour NSW.
If anyone questions the temperaments of these magnificent Kosciuszko Brumbies please look at this Drifter arrived in the afternoon on 28-4-23 and here he is spending time with the Mum he chose on Saturday the 29-4-23 he’s a colt but we have herd Stallions and mare’s that are just the same I’m so proud to be able to save them but we can’t do it without the people who rehome from us, our volunteers support and the support from the community you can never know how grateful we are for everyone the donations we’ve received recently will help us immensely with feed and hopefully some shade and extra panels.
We have our vet booked for a full day on the 26-5-23 to do gelding, branding and microchipping so it will be all hands on deck that day starting 6am finishing 6pm Especially if we have the homes available and we take another load within the following weeks, so if you’re wanting to help us save more brumby lives please don’t wait and call me asap….

Story and Video by Amy Pratt - Hi everyone, meet Belle: Belle is a Brumby from the Kosciuszko Mountains, She is a 14h, flaxen chestnut mare. Mum and I met Belle at Clearview Brumby Rescue QLD. We were doing a 5 day Brumby training course with Paul Rushton and we chose her to work with, she was so sweet and gentle. In those 5 days we had taught her to lead, and we desensitised her to a bag and blanket. On September school holidays she arrived at our home and has been doing great ever since. So far we have rugged, bathed, lunged, lead and picked up all 4 feet. On December 19 she is getting her first hoof trim from our farrier. We will continue her training and hopefully be riding her soon!
We were able to find Rocky's sensitive spot as the video will show and he loves his sensitive spot scratched. A couple of the photos show this as well.
Here is a good news story, a couple of weeks ago Moreen put a post up of the brumbies we had just received and a lot of comment was made about a young girl in with the brumbies only days from the wild feeding this little yearling brumby filly. There was negative comments from some keyboard warriors and Horsemanship guru's without any consideration of what we may know about brumbies ourselves. This young lass fell in love with Flash and wanted her and her family agreed. So Flash was taken to her families property several days ago and today was the first time she had the time to work with her new besty Flash. Well I don't think I need to say more as the video speaks for itself but if anyone wants any tips on horsemanship and handling brumbies send me a message and I will put you in contact with this bonny lass. Well done Kensie you have made us all proud here at Clearview. Just look how calm and relaxed this little filly is and I think this a match that was meant to be.
Loving Retirement Home Needed
Red may be a senior in years, (20-25) but he carries within his heart and soul the wisdom of a lifetime in the wild. The way he holds himself and looks you in the eye demands respect.
We met in early March when I started as a volunteer at Clearview. He was wary of a new person in his space but we soon began to bond through gentle and calm interactions. I fell in love with his kind eyes, gorgeous colour and his brave heart and courage.
In very poor condition and a world of dental pain when he arrived late last year, he learnt that humans only wanted the best for him and while he doesn't trust everyone, when he gives his heart to you, it's a humbling and beautiful experience.
I've been blessed to be one of those he looks forward to seeing every day, and so grateful to the previous volunteers who helped him learn how to trust us.
He recently had his 2nd lot of dental work (brave soul) and is feeling even more comfortable.
Can call him to you in a large paddock, halter and lead him easily (still hesitant about gates, but gets there lol) pick up his feet (a work in progress) and brush him. Carrots, licorice and lucerne are his absolute faves.
If you can offer Red a loving, nurturing and peaceful home to enjoy his retirement, please message Moreen.
