Marley was surrendered on the 10th of December 2010 with the nastiest cracked hooves I have ever seen. His xrays showed chronic laminitis and two fractured petal bones. Marley was in a lot of pain and many people thought we should put him to sleep. He is on founder guard and retread supplements which cost $80 and $110 per kilo bucket. He also requires expensive corrective shoeing and we have spent thousands already trying to get him back to health. Marley still has a long way to go and will be with us for at least another 12 – 18 months. We are looking for long-term sponsors who can help him through his rehab. However, if you commit to sponsorship and something happens down the track and you can no longer sponsor him, just email us and we will find another sponsor. Marley is 12 years old and a 17hh TB gelding.

Sulley Goes To His New Home

Sulley was surrendered after being purchased from the knackery as a riding horse but turned out to be quite aggressive. He was bought by Rathdowney Knackery from the Laidley sales last year and found his way to us in October 2010. Sulley wasn't a happy camper and something was really causing him pain. After months of rest and after seeing two different Chiropractors we still didn't know what was causing his pain and then we took him to Robert Humphries who was just amazing! After a few sessions with him, some acupuncture and rest he is no longer sore and has the most amazing nature. Even Robert said "you have a special horse there". Sulley Monster's breeding was also traced back to being a very well bred Warmblood which makes sense because he is 17.3 3/4 HH and 811kilos. He is a monster! Sulley is now in his new forever home under a life time contract.

After surgery Chicky healed really well and after treatment, training and assessment she was re-homed to an amazing forever home where she will be trained up for PC and showing. MASSIVE thanks to the amazing supporters and people who donated money to save this mares life. It is because of you that she is alive today and in an amazing home. You should all be so proud to be apart of something so amazing and with such a happy beginning! This beautiful mare has her whole life ahead of her!


Whiskey Arrives Home For a Rest

Whiskey's has arrived home from Manly rd hospital after two and a half months of surgery and chemo to save his life from a nasty carcinoma. Sadly, while Whiskey was having treatment for one advanced aggressive carcinoma the specialist found two very small new ones developing in the bottom part of his eye. Whiskey's surgery was successful however he wasn't able to undergo more surgery at this time due to needing a break to heal so he was sent home for 4 weeks. He is due to go back on the 18th of May which is the same day Marley is due for his check-up.

When Whiskey arrived home he galloped around the paddock with his old friends and is enjoying life and loving being at home. He is an amazing horse and deserves every chance at a long, happy life.

Massive thanks to Pauline the wonderful eye specialist and massive thanks to the wonderful Manly Rd Horse Hospital for all of there help with Whiskey, Chicky and Marley.


MASSIVE THANKS to everyone who has donated money or bought raffle tickets to help with the massive horse hospital bills. We are still needing help with covering the cost of Whiskey's surgery so if you can help please make a tax deductible donation using the account details below.
