SCHOOLMASTER - On behalf of the owner

🧡 Just Jerry 🧡

Jerry is a 2007, 16'2hh Chestnut Thoroughbred gelding (race name 'Menangle Flyer').

Jerry is EA registered and has an extensive competition history. Back in his prime, he jumped up to a 170cm six bar course, regularly jumped 1.30m courses, however, he is now more comfortable jumping up to 115cm courses.

He has many wins under his belt and has been trained and ridden by some amazing riders including Dallas Bailey. Jerry has also regularly attended pony club, done eventing, dressage and trails. You can ride him bitless, ba****ck or probably even blindfolded 🫣🤣

He has regularly been ridden by young teens/children for many years and lived with a professional trainer for just as long. Jerry is looking for a new family wanting a forever horse to teach them to jump, compete and have fun!

He is suited to someone who knows how to ride, but is searching for a confidence booster or schoolmaster that knows his job and just wants to enjoy riding without having to worry about teaching a young horse the ropes.

He is great to do everything with.

Lock And Launch - Sired by "Smart Missile" out of a "Vain" mare. Retired sound in December 2022 after a pretty unsuccessful racing career.

Locky is a very kind, loveable and a pretty easy going boy.

He has been a feedlot horse for the last 8 months, done stockman challenges, AG shows, been to 1 campdraft, gone to the beach, trail rides and done limited jumping up to 60cm. Locky does seem to enjoy jumping and is brave through water.

He is a perfect horse to have a plod around on or will get up and go when asked. He is good to pony other horses off and did it regularly at his current job. He is good with machinery, cars, dogs and cattle. He can do the occasional snort at things, but is not a spooky horse.

He does still get strong when asked to canter and can sometimes still hang on the bit. He is also dominant around feed time.

Locky is a relatively good doer for a Tb and is not a fussy eater

He is easy to catch, lead, tie, groom, wash, clip, trim/shoe, rug, worm, saddle, self loads on to the float and respectful of fences.

Suited to an intermediate - experienced rider only.

Up to date with feet (currently barefoot), worming, 2in1 and teeth. Currently due for Hendra.

Does have QLD itch

RIP Talia Raffia (Tiah)

Unfortunately this morning I was notified of the passing of one of our adopted horses, Tiah (paddock accident).

Tiah was a 24yr purebred and registered chestnut sabino Arabian mare, born 15/12/2001. She was bred by Wendy Jean Elizabeth & Ross Summerell (I will endeavour to get in contact with them and let them know)

Tiah was surrendered in October 2021 and was adopted out to her final home in February 2022 where she spent the rest of her life being absolutely loved. Her adopters gave her the best retirement and spoiled her rotten. They are absolutely devastated at the loss of such a beautiful mare.

Thank you so much to her adopters for giving her a safe and loving home 🙏 It's so hard to find people like this 💛

Tiah has now been laid to rest in her favourite paddock 🥺❤️

Fly high Talia Raffia (Tiah)🕊️

Therenback - Zew Zealand bred, sired by Zacinto out of a Flying Spur mare.

Last raced December 2019 and retired due to a suspensory injury. He also had a minor stifle injury in 2024. He was successfully rehabbed to where he can be ridden as a trail horse.

Since retiring from racing, Harley has done some dressage/arena work, trail riding and used as the pool pony for a TB pretraining facility. He is still relatively green for his age, but responsive with a good walk, trot and canter. He can sometimes start out a little stiff for the first few minutes, but warms up out of it and travels well. He is a forward moving horse under saddle.

Has been with a professional trainer twice who stated he is a lovely horse to have around and ride.

Good to catch, lead, tie, groom, trim/shoe, rug and float. Currently barefoot as he has been spelling.

Due to previous injuries, he is suited for an experienced rider wanting to have the odd ride once or twice a week. Basically a weekend warrior. Alternatively, Harley would make a good in hand competition horse or a companion (he is high in the herd, but good with young foals). [When he is fed up, he is a REALLY nice horse to look at and would do really well as an in-hand or possible occasional hack).

Video available under saddle from 2024 and one semi recently.

Does have QLD itch (currently very limited signs).

In paddock condition, grass fed.
VET CHECK WELCOME AND ENCOURAGED.

Unfortunately I can't share certain posts on this page for some reason, but here is a screenshot from GreyGum Equine of Athena!

Athena came back from adoption later this year after the past adoptee couldn't keep her and she had been sitting in the paddock for quite a while.

She has certainly scrubbed up very nicely and is being a little trooper under saddle once again 🤗

So happy to see her looking well and getting the attention she needs. Hopefully we can watch her on the trails with clients in 2025 🤞

Hoofbeats Sanctuary Sunshine Coast is currently facing a FORCED CLOSURE due to council wanting to reallocate their property for the pony club next door!

Hoofbeats is the home of Phoenix (Snickers) whom we purchased from Laidley sales at approx 2 months old. Hoofbeats stepped up and has provided a fabulous home to Phoenix during the past 3 years. It has been a privilege to watch him flourish with them and see how their horses are used for therapy.

PLEASE consider helping in any way you can. It will be absolutely devastating to Hoofbeats, the horses, staff, volunteers, and clients if they are forced to shut down.

Hoofbeats is the only registered charity in Australia that offers FREE equine therapy sessions.

Please share their post or donate if you feel inclined to do so (all donations over $2 are tax deductible). Hopefully, if there is enough support, a solution can be found to keep the sanctuary open and the horses safe 💔

Hoofbeats Sanctuary is a special place. We are the only provider in Australia offering free equine therapy to those who need, no questions asked. A recent se...

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. 😉

~ 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).
