Here are just a few of HRA’s ex racehorses (Tia, Faith, Roscoe, Nugget, Brandy, Bonnie & Markeen) who have gone on to live happy lives in new loving homes or lived out their twilight years at our sanctuary in peace with good food and good friends – who could ask for more? They say thanks to all those who have contributed to make this possible. (Just a reminder that the GiveNow Melbourne Cup appeal donation page will still be accepting donations until Sunday 11.11.18 if anyone needs to process office collections eg) … See MoreSee Less

“Time Served” served only a short time in the racing industry as she was “retired” due to a training injury before she even raced! According to the RSPCA’s chief scientist “Only 300 in every 1000 (thoroughbred) foals born will actually end up racing (in Australia)………”. That’s only 30% of about 18,000 foals born annually, so the other 70% have to go somewhere! Finding homes for 13,000 odd horses every year is no easy thing (and that’s on top of the ones retiring and all the other horse breeds available). Injured horses don’t make good future riding horses, so it’s doubly difficult to rehome these.
This gentle mare was lucky enough to come to straight to Horse Rescue before finding her own little person to dote on her. We’re told Nicky as she is now known has only one fault – she makes her little friend late for school as he needs to give her “just one more brush”! Help us to bring about more happy endings to the often sad lives of these horses bred purely for profit, but who have so much more to offer (even IF their injuries prevent them from being ridden).

Tall, proud “Scruffy” as he’s now known was “Hot ‘n’ Tipsy” when he raced – in fact so tipsy he raced 10 times and never placed! He suffers from windsucking which is an obsessive, compulsive stress related habit very common in racehorses, often related to being stabled alone for many long hours, day in, day out. Many of these horses also suffer from high stomach acidity due to stress and not grazing for long hours each day so develop debilitative stomach ulcers. It is widely accepted that as many as 90% of all racehorses are found to have gastric ulcers and some vets say 100% of horses in active training/racing have these ulcers! Scruffy is a beautiful boy who will make some lucky person a very good riding horse or best mate one day. Please consider supporting the rehabilitation of these special horses instead of betting this Melbourne Cup. www.givenow.com.au/melbournecupappeal or go to www.horserescueaustralia.org.au/how-you-can-help/donate/ if you would prefer to use EFT, chq or PayPal. … See MoreSee Less

TAKE A CHANCE ON ME…………..Chance is our November pin up boy. He’s a 14 year old stock horse who is fairly new to HRA and needs a lot of fattening up. His owner fell on hard times and sent him to an agistment property where he was not properly cared for. He is nervous around men and not good when tied up. This sweet, shy boy needs our help to find his way again and come out of his shell. Please sponsor him to help us pay for his training so he can learn some new skills to help him cope better. www.horserescueaustralia.org.au/how-you-can-help/sponsorship/ … See MoreSee Less

This beautiful mare was so insignificant to the racing industry that she never even got a name, let alone raced! This is not uncommon as we see thoroughbred horses as young as yearlings being sold through saleyards to meat buyers. Only babies, they would still be by their mother’s side in the wild. Thankfully Faith was saved from this fate and years on ended up with us. She trialled a number of new homes but none were quite the right fit for this sensitive girl. She came back until we found just the right home for her where she is happily settled with her new horsey friend “Blue” and her new adoptive mum Robyn. To quote Robyn “We both love her to the moon and back.” Please help us find new loving homes for horses like Faith by donating instead of betting this Melbourne Cup week. www.givenow.com.au/melbournecupappeal … See MoreSee Less
