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.

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...

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...

Our Beautiful HSES Cello found herself herded from her wild outback home into cattle trucks, and then into the saleyards at Shepperton.  We attended the sale as there was a large number of Donkeys present and we knew few buyers for unhandled grumpy feral donkeys.  We...
