The cutest little ponies HSES Simba (Pale palomino) and HSES Rocky (taffy) have been best buddies most of their lives. Living out their final years at the Sanctuary. Rocky suffers from cushings and both boys need restricted diets low in sugar. (Not their preference!)...

HSES Audrey is one of our fabulous ‘Bulla’ Herd. Unfortunately HSES Audrey was returned to the Sanctuary after not very lady like behaviour. Audrey still reflects feed based aggression found at times in horses that have been severely malnourished. Audrey in a rush to...

HSES Cookie Beautiful little Cookie is only 11hh high and is a super companion pony. Today he is living and loving our big boy HSES Charlie.   A BIG thank you to Kiyoko – one of longest Sponsors – whose sponsored horses have always found great homes.

HSES ‘Melodee’. We were alerted to a sweet mare at the recent Pakenham sales (mid June 2015) – noted as a 17 year old Anglo Arab mare that had yellow card endurance. Needless to say, we outbid yet another dealer to secure her safety with us at the Sanctuary. Little...

There is no mare more stunning at HSES than Blue. This mare – we believe to be approximately 10-16 years old – was again at the meat processor following a sale. As stunning as Blue is – she has ripped her hind leg at some stage and it has taken a long time to heal....

HSES Shorty is a very tall 17hh THB Gelding with a racing name of Valley Mascot – although registered he had no races so no doubt Shorty felt that wasn’t his thing. Shorty arrived with an infected hind leg and just skin and bones. We asked for his surrender, owners...

Beautiful little Bits arrived with 12 other ponies including his mate HSES Bobs now happy living with HSES Tonic. These scruffy little stallions were gelded and handled with the basics but both boys prefer the company of big horses rather than people. HSES bits was...

Introducing ‘Carter’. A sweet girl but can be nervous and naughty. Carter isn’t fond of people although we are working hard on winning her trust. Carter is an old mare so we have decided she will live out her years at the sanctuary.   We would love a sponsor for...

In December 2019 we were notified of a 28 yr old StandardBred mare at the Echuca sales however she had drawn attention and we were advised a safe home was bidding. Unfortunately as often happens that all fell through and we were notified by the Sales team she was...

One of two grey fillies saved by the RSPCA from the ‘Bulla’ case where 20+ horses starved to death in early 2016. Rehabilitated at HSES – Big Grey was in training however she is explosive under pressure therefore she has been retired to the Sanctuary. She is...

This little pony arrived within a truckload of stallions (11) and 3 mares! Owned by a hoarder, we know little of his background other than he is an older pony. At some stage he has ripped his muzzle open on a fence – and although healed, he carries the scars. And with...

HSES Frankie probably one of our most stunning Sanctuary horses, arriving from the Echuca saleyards as a young gelding with a broken whither. While educated here at HSES, Frankie is nervous and has been retired to the Sanctuary. And of course he is our merchandise...
