TOO MANY HORSES DIE ON THE TRACK TO KEEP UP…
All one has to do is Google to see just how many horses have died on or at the track so far in 2023. We don’t have enough hours in the day to post them all.
We spend a great deal of time and energy educating racing fans that when they bet, either on or off the track or support racing in any way, they contribute to the death of horses. Deaths on the track and even those horses who never make it to the track die too.
AND if they don’t die on the track, or during their racing career, there is a high probability that they will end up on a truck and shipped to be slaughtered for human consumption.

But we are not going away.
We are going to persist until horse slaughter no longer exists for any purpose within Australia -- and until the horse racing industry makes drastic changes.
We are going to continue our hands-on work to offer lifelong sanctuary to as many horses as possible. We generally have 20 at just one of our locations - at any given time.
We have the acreage to take on more horses as financial support allows.
BEWARE OF HORSE SCAMMERS
HOW NOT TO BE FOOLEDAs long as the slaughter of horses for human consumption and other purposes exists in Australia there will be those who pretend to be other than they are. Unfortunately, on a regular basis, unsuspecting owners are duped into giving away or selling...
