A Home For The Horses

For the past 18 years, Save A Horse Australia has stood as the last line of defense for horses who have been neglected, abused, abandoned, or at risk of slaughter. We are the largest horse rescue of our kind in Australia, and every life we save is a promise kept—to the horses who have no voice and nowhere else to go.

Now, we are facing the greatest challenge in our history.

We Need a Permanent Home

Our current property is a rental and the land is being redeveloped.

We must leave by 2027.

Without a permanent sanctuary, the future of hundreds of rescue horses - and the future of Save A Horse Australia itself - is at risk.

We have a bequest from a kind gentleman who passed away, which he wants us to put towards a deposit for a property .

Unfortunately, the deposit is not enough to secure a property, and we only have a certain amount we can borrow from our bank, to be able to service the loan, but properties around the Beaudesert region of 80 acres or more start at 2 million plus.

To continue our mission, we must secure more than 80 acres of safe, suitable land—a place where rescued horses can heal, live out their lives in dignity, and never again face fear or uncertainty.

Every horse we adopt out has a strict contract that if they can no longer keep the horse they adopted from us, it can never be sold or given away, it MUST be returned to our charity.

This is a promise we make to every horse who comes through out gates.......that they will never feel hunger and starvation again, or end up in the horse sales.

For this reason, also, the longevity of this charity is critical, so those horses can come back.

This land will be more than a property.

It will be a forever home.

Our Goal: $500,000

To purchase a suitable horse property - costing $2 million or more - we must raise $500,000 as a deposit combined with our bequest.

This will allow the charity to responsibly borrow the remaining funds and secure a future that cannot be taken away.

This fundraiser is not optional.

It is essential.

The future of Save A Horse Australia depends on this campaign’s success.

Laura (President) & Jennifer (Vice President) and the entire Committee of this charity, work incredibly hard to sustain such a vast number of horses, giving them every opportunity to thrive.

From ex racehorses who have fallen into neglect after their racing career is over, to horses who have been left to starve in paddocks and abandoned, or horses from deceased estates, we take them all in.

Many of our surrendered horses are suffering from injuries, and we give them the very best medical care.

Save A Horse Australia has rescued thousands of horses since it started, and longevity is the key to continuing our important work.

Why This Matters

Without a permanent home:

Horses in crisis may have nowhere to go

Rescue operations could be limited or stopped

Years of lifesaving work could be lost

With your support:

Horses will have lifelong safety and care

The rescue will be protected for generations

Australia’s most vulnerable horses will always have a place to land

We’re Asking You to Dig Deep

We know times are tough. We don’t ask lightly.

But if not us - then who will be there for these horses?

Who will step in when abuse is uncovered?

Who will take the horses no one else wants?

We have always been there.

And with your help, we always will be.
