Felix

Felix

Introducing Felix  a 3-year-old, 8hh, black Mini gelding.

Known as the little one with a big heart and personality to melt your heart.
Felix had very long hooves that had not been attended for at least 2 plus years, he was obese, with a hard cresty neck and a body score of 5.
Felix was right on the verge of foundering. His hooves were hot,  he wasn't able to move all that well. 
Thankfully we have a very compassionate and knowledge member that has been managing Felix back to good health..
It was important being on such a restricted diet that he still receives all the right supplements. 
CEN Nutrition sends all of our newly surrendered horses a 'survival kit ' to ensure that they are promptly on the way to better health. 
Felix has had his dental, hooves  and microchipping done. His carer said that he was a champ - no sedation required .
Being a 3-year-old, he will enjoy a long life of care and love. 
We would want to see him with his own kind and being the centre of attention with lots of cuddles. 
Important to have a person with knowledge on how to best manage horses at risk of laminitis. 
Felix has completed his rehabilitation and is now available for Long Term Lease. You can express your interest for Felix, by filling out our form here.

Located in the Surf Coast Shire 
 

Scarlett

Scarlett

Scarlett is a 15.1hh chestnut Thoroughbred/Quarter horse x mare estimated to be 16 years old, Nice moving mare.

When she arrived, Scarlett’s background was unknown. Early observations noted assertiveness and anxiety.  
But underlying there was an intelligence and willingness to learn.  Scarlett spent time at Wendy's Horsmanship & Obstacle ranch showing us what she knew about obstacles from the ground. 
She then spent time witlh Brad West at Wild West Horsmanship training being assessed as a riding horse.
Scarlett spent 4 weeks with Brad where she regained her confidence under saddle and although initially a little tense, reacted well when ridden in the bush, on the road side and in the paddock with other horses. 

Her current carer can no longer keep Scarlett and has made the decision to rehome her.
The carer adores Scarlett and feels very safe when riding her.
Scarlett NEEDS an experienced rider whom she can look to for guidance and assurance.

A visit to meet Scarlett is a requirement and she is located in Mt Alexander Shire
Expressions of Interest are by submission of EOI form which is located on the Our Horses page.

Thorfinn

Thorfinn

Introducing Thorfinn a 19-year-old , 16hh, Bay Thoroughbred gelding.



Thorfinn is a 17 year old thoroughbred gelding, standing approximately 16hh, looking for a companion home where he can be his big boisterous self with a human to give him love and some mates to play with. 

We had hoped that Thorfinn would be re-homeable as a riding horse, however due to an old injury that occasionally flares up he has not been assessed for riding and at this stage will be rehomed as a companion only. 

Thor is good to do everything with, although he knows he is a big horse, so will need someone confident with handling OTT types. He is the boss in the paddock, and his only vice is that he has been known to chew on fences (not windsucking, just chewing bits off), but this has lessened the longer he has been in care. 

Thorfinn has had a dental, all his vaccinations and seen a vet and farrier. He is now ready to find his Long Term Carer. 

He is currently located in Wellington Shire and you can submit your expression of interest here.
