If you saw my previous post, you would have read the statistics on the number of horses and breeds that I have helped (at least most of them).

This next post will highlight statistics about each horse’s registration status. Why is this important? Well, you’ll find out 😉

Out of all breeds, how many were registered when rehoming/rescue was needed? Let’s have a look 🧐.

Thoroughbreds: 32 (31 registered)
Standardbreds: 6 (4 registered, 2 registerable)
Shetlands: 6 (0 registered)
Stockhorse: 6 (1 registered)
Arabians: 5 (2 registered)
Brumbies: 4 (1 registered, 3 registerable)
Quarter horse: 4 (1 registered)
Paint: 3 (0 registered)
QH x Arab: 2 (0 registered)
WB x TB: 2 (0 registered)
Appaloosa: 1 (0 registered)
Appaloosa x QH: 1 (1 registerable)
Dartmoor x: 1 (0 registered)
Morgan x: 1 (0 registered)
Holstein: 1 (1 registerable)
STB x Welsh: 1 (0 registerable)
Anglo Arabian: 1 (0 registerable)
Clydesdale x Paint: 1 (0 registerable)
Percheron x Warmblood: 1 (1 registered)

Obviously, the Thoroughbreds and Standardbreds create a large number of registered horses (which is a good thing), but, let’s take them out of the equation. Out of 47 horses of all different breeds (excluding TBs and STBs), 6 (12.76%) were registered at the time of intake, whilst a further 6 (12.76%) were able to be registered with a breed society, leaving 35 (74.46%) horses unregistered, and unable to be.

Almost SEVENTY-FIVE (75%) of horses cannot be registered. These horses take up a LARGE position in rescues/rehoming programs. There is a reason not many registered, healthy, and trained horses end up in rescues/rehoming programs.

Registered horses make life easier for everyone, especially the horses. Being able to track down information, know their breeding, training history, age, previous owners/breeders, and medical issues is such a blessing. And you know what? They are so much easier to rehome and usually much safer long term!

Ethical breeding isn't the issue, it's people breeding for the sake of breeding and producing horses set up for failure. I absolutely don't have a problem with good breeding practices and producing good horses, and you'll find a lot of people in rescue agree, because time and time again, it's the horses that are not well bred, not registered, not handled, not broken in, have conformation issues, genetic diseases, and injuries. In my opinion, small ethical breeders play an important role in maintaining the breed standards. It's the unethical and irresponsible breeders that are the issue.

Nonetheless…on to the next subject! (Which you’ll find out in my next post).

03/11/2024

❓ How many horses do you think I have helped to rehome since starting this journey in 2021? ❓

I recently wondered about this and thought, why not find out!

Now, these numbers are just the ones I know have been placed into new homes/rescues with my help (actually, there are more, but I don’t have their details readily available).

If I counted every…single…horse I was asked to help, the number would be a LOT higher! Like…a lot. I have turned down probably double 🥴

And remember, I'm a SMALL operation.

So drum roll please…

I have helped to rehome at LEAST 79 horses/ponies…That's approximately one every 2 WEEKS 😳

This number doesn’t shock me one bit…but can you guess the most common breed I see needing rehoming?

Here are the statistics for you to look at.

Thoroughbreds: 32 (40.50%)
Standardbreds: 6 (7.59%)
Shetlands: 6 (7.59%)
Stockhorse: 6 (7.59%)
Arabians: 5 (6.32%)
Brumbies: 4 (5.06%)
Quarter horse: 4 (5.06%)
Paint: 3 (3.79%)
QH x Arab: 2 (2.53%)
WB x TB: 2 (2.53%)
Appaloosa: 1 (1.26%)
Appaloosa x QH: 1 (1.26%)
Dartmoor x: 1 (1.26%)
Morgan x: 1 (1.26%)
Holstein: 1 (1.26%)
STB x Welsh: 1 (1.26%)
Anglo Arabian: 1 (1.26%)
Clydesdale x Paint: 1 (1.26%)
Percheron x Warmblood: 1 (1.26%)

32 THOROUGHBREDS! No other breed comes close to that number. And I can bet all other rescues have Thoroughbreds as their highest statistic.

This isn’t surprising at all. Thoroughbreds are a fantastic breed and are masters of all disciplines, but they are one of the highest-trafficked horses around. That is partially due to the sheer numbers, medical issues, and stigma that comes with them. And 95% of the time, Thoroughbreds are let down by people AFTER they retire from racing.

But let’s not stop here, in another post, I will dive even deeper! It’s a good insight into what rehoming looks like. 😉

REHOMED PENDING VISIT AND PICKUP

------------------------------------------------------------------------

~ On behalf of the owners ~

Project/companion

2009/2010 | 15'3hh | Pinto/Tobiano | Mare

Unknown breeding

Has been used as a broodmare for the past 4yrs up until recently when purchased by current owners.

She is apparently broken to saddle, however has not been ridden in at least 4 years and cannot guarantee she would be suitable to ride.

Hard to catch without food, good to lead and rug. Hard to trim (will pull back, will require further training or sedation). Is head shy, but loves a good neck scratch. Can be floated.

Has not yet shown any kick, bite or rear.

Does have a scar from an old injury on her back hoof/pastern.

Up to date with worming. Does require a good trim and due for 2in1 at the end of the year.

Looking for experienced home

~ Horse a part of a rehoming operation ~

From a retired STB breeding/racing home. Old owner is unable to care for them.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Breed: Standardbred
S*x: Filly
Height: 15hh (estimate)
Colour: Brown
Age: 3yrs (05/01/2021)
Sire: Loverboy Gumnut
Dam: Duchess Gumnut (unsure if registered)

Handling status: Unhandled. Sensible. Used to being around people. Respectful of fences. More spicy in nature. Can get fairly close to her.

Health issues: Splint on offside fore. Has been running with a Standardbred X stallion (due to age, unsure if possibility served/pregnant). Possibly has early signs of bighead (most horses on the property have it at varying stages).

Yards are available at current location (not the best, but usable) but beneficial to bring panels if possible.

There MAY be a possibility she can be transported to Delaney's creek where a loading ramp is available.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

This is not a first in first served situation. As much as we would like her removed quickly, the best home will be chosen. You must state your intentions, experience, facilities and provide at least 2 references.

❄️ Atlas 'n' Champagne ❄️

Registered with SMBR and rehomed through Clearview Brumby Rescue Qld in 2021.

Atlas was a wild caught brumby stallion from Kosciusko National Park in January 2021.

He was broken in shortly after and has since been used for trail riding, beach rides, road rides, obstacles, low level jumping has been to a clinic and received 4-weeks of professional training with Sundance Performance Horses in 2022. He was also leased out for a short time to a teen rider at a riding school.

Atlas has also been used as a companion and nanny gelding for weanlings. He is the most submissive and safe horse for new/young horses.

As Atlas was captured later in life, he will always be 'aware' and a little "looky" in new situations.

He has absolutely no kick, bite, buck, rear or bolt. He can still do the occasional spook (stop and stare mainly)

I would like to see Atlas go to a LONG TERM home who will ride and utilise him and take him even further than I have. He has only had the one owner (me) and really thrives with that one-on-one bond.

He is suited to a small adult rider 65kg/under due to his size.

Can be hard to catch in large paddocks (is okay in smaller paddocks), good to lead, tie, groom, trim, rug, wash, saddle and does float (but needs more confidence building. Much more confident in stock crate/truck).

New owner must provide professional references which will be contacted (so make sure you ask permission). I will also want to stay in regular contact and have first option to buy back.

Note: Does have QLD itch (cooler climate preferred due to this).

As I thought, there has been a LOT of interest in Athena (I think because of her colour). I will be slowly working through messages. But it looks like there are a few good options lined up.

Thank you everyone for your interest

------------------------------------------------------------------------

🌼 Athena 🌼

QH X Arab | 14hh | 9yr | Palomino | Mare

Ridden project or companion.

Athena is an unregistered mare whom we had here 2 years ago.

Before leaving, she was doing well under saddle, went on trail rides and did some low level jumping. She has also previously done cattle work with a previous owner as well. She was overall a very nice mare to have around.

During the past 2 years, she has unfortunately not had much handling/work and was passed onto people who weren't confident around horses. She is therefore being classed as a project for a confident and knowledgeable owner.

Suited for someone small wanting a potential trail riding horse or companion. She is an exceptionally good doer.

She has come back here hard to catch (but already improving and wanting to come up to me), good to lead, tie, groom, hose and trim.

Truck or stock crate only - she is very difficult to get onto a float.

Please note: When Athena was with us 2 years ago, the previous owner stated she had occasional locking stifle. This is not something I have personally witnessed in her on the ground or under saddle.

Dead Set Crazy - Sired by Skyvalley out of a Sundon (USA) mare

Last raced June 2024 and retired sound.

Stormy is a beautiful natured gelding with a sweet and willing temperament. He has recently been started under saddle and has had a couple rides so far. He has shown to have a good ability to trot and canter under saddle already.

He has a sweet puppy dog temperament and loves to follow people around. He’s been around dogs, kids, and is good to be paddocked alone or with other horses.

Stormy is good to catch, lead, tie, groom, rug, wash, trim and float.

He would make an beautiful project for any intermediate rider and above.
