Save The Brumbies Inc. is calling on compassionate horse lovers to open their hearts and properties to rescued brumbies, as we increase our intake of freshly trapped horses and prepare for the challenges of the approaching winter season.
With more horses arriving into care, we are facing a simple reality: we can’t keep them all here going into winter. Feed costs rise, pasture growth slows, and every horse deserves the time, space, and individual attention needed to settle, decompress, and thrive.
- Lots of horses currently available
- We have begun taking on more freshly trapped horses
- We need to place horses into suitable homes before winter
- Handled and unhandled horses available
A growing intake, a growing need
In recent weeks, we have started taking on a larger number of freshly trapped horses. These horses arrive with varying levels of human exposure. Some have already begun basic handling and groundwork, while others are completely untouched and will require patient, knowledgeable adopters willing to build trust from the ground up.
We’re looking for the right match for each horse — adopters who understand that calm consistency, kind boundaries, and time are what turn uncertainty into confidence.
From wild spirit to “superstar” potential
Brumbies are renowned for their intelligence, resilience, and athleticism. With the right guidance, many go on to excel as reliable companions and capable all-rounders.
- Pleasure riding and confident trail partners
- Groundwork and liberty
- Stock work foundations
- Pony club and general all-round riding
- Endurance and fitness-focused pursuits
Whether you’re searching for a horse with some handling already in place, or you’re an experienced horse person ready to take on an unhandled brumby and start the journey from the beginning — we’d love to hear from you.
Responsible rehoming
Our priority is safe, thoughtful placement. We work with potential adopters to ensure each horse is matched to an appropriate home, based on the horse’s needs and the adopter’s facilities and experience.
- Secure fencing and suitable shelter
- Access to veterinary and farrier care
- Feed, pasture, and ongoing horse management
- Your experience level (especially for unhandled horses)
How to adopt
If you are wanting to find your next superstar, please get in contact. We can talk you through the horses currently available, their handling status, and what sort of home would suit them best.
Adoption changes one life — and makes room for us to rescue another.
