Well it’s been a successful year of hosting volunteers here at NEBS. We have had people from France, Italy, the Netherlands, UK, Australia and Switzerland! The Frenchies are currently leading with 8 volunteers in total.
🐴 But with more and more horses coming in, we are in need of some fresh faces!
Immerse yourself in the Aussie lifestyle while helping to take care of and train Australian wild horses.
We are able to sign off on visa requirements and in return for volunteering, we provide a 2 bedroom self contained cabin with all food covered. 🙂
🐴🌲 Some of our recently re-homed Barrington Tops Brumbies enjoying their new lives.
A little black colt has only been in his new home since Friday and what incredible progress he’s made! Plus beautiful Squatter allowed her owner her first touch within 24 hours of being home ❤️ If you’ve considered taking a Brumby, don’t delay, now’s the time!
We have now rescued over forty five horses to save them from bullets/slaughter yard fate etc.
Our Armidale NSW Sanctuary is overflowing with more than sixty horses in care and the high cost of winter feed is sending us broke very quickly.
This is an urgent fund raiser appeal to assist with providing these fantastic horses with much needed feed. We have no funding from any source, only what we receive in kind donations from the horse loving public. All donations are fully tax deductible. The horses are excellent types and are available for Adoption to approved homes. On behalf of the horses whinnies of love for caring.
If you are able to help out, by way of donation, please visit our Donations page.
If you still have questions, please reach out to us, we are happy to answer your questions.
Barrington Tops Brumbies safe at our Armidale Sanctuary
With more Barrington horses due to come in at the end of the month 🐴 we still have a few current horses left to re-home to make room for them and make it easier for feeding during winter ❄️
Save the Brumbies can help you adopt a Brumby to take home. We have a great selection of quality horses available, here are just a few. Mares with foals and geldings, all youngsters and ready for that forever home.
Rising 2yo Corindi filly, very blingy in your pocket type of girl, loves a brush and a scratch. Approx 12.1hh currently. Tempted to keep this one but have to remind myself I can’t keep them all! Basic handling established, no fuss type. This little girl will make a perfect safe kids pony, she catches you in the paddock and is very well mannered, I wouldn’t hesitate to let kids handle her.
Registered with the ABHR.
Our Adoption program is Animal Welfare (RSPCA) approved.
The other day we had the pleasure of having Lesa Corine, a now local photographer out to capture some great shots of our beautiful Brumbies. She has also captured amazing images of Brumbies in various locations such as the snowy mountains. A big thank you to Lesa for supplying us with her photos to use ❤️
Since we are the only sanctuary approved and taking horses from Barrington, I have been informed that we have until September to get as many horses out as possible before the ‘feral horse management plan’ is acted upon and they start shooting. So this means if you can take on one of these gentle souls PLEASE DO SO BEFORESEPTEMBER. Don’t wait around because there may not be a next time. We will be housing as many as we can but with winter coming quickly and feed getting low, this is not sustainable so we need to keep horses moving.
We also still have a few horses from Corindi beach needing homes so we can make room for new horses, such as this little gelding!
