HOOFS have worked in wild horse rescue and rehoming for over a decade with close to 200 Wild Horses rescued from slaughter situations across Australia.

 

Our policies are to preserve, advocate and rehome any wild horses that can adjust to domestic life and retain those in the sanctuary that cannot.

 

HOOFS2010 is run by an executive committee with general team members who all voluntarily contribute to the running of the organisation as well as being hands-on with our Brumbies at the sanctuary. 

 

If you are interested in becoming a part of the HOOFS2010 team then come on board and become a member. Positions are elected at our annual AGM with the majority of candidates being well informed of the wild horse issues and situations surrounding the plight to save them. 

 

Our financials are managed by an accountancy firm and our financial records are made public every year to ensure accountability to our donors.

Our work has been conducted on private land owned by a committee member with all infrastructure and equipment on loan by the property owner.

 

Our vision for the New Sanctuary is to ensure that it will belong to the people of Australia and be managed by the incorporated association, that being an executive and general committee. Our Charter is and will remain that no, one person can or will gain from our work.

What will having a large sanctuary bring to our work and the lives of wild horses? 

Depending on property it is desired that a minimum of 150 wild horses be accommodated in Sanctuary.  These horses will remain living in original mobs and be able to reproduce under management. Thus sustaining genetic viability.

All bachelor mobs and younger horses that are not part of breeding mobs will be trained, recorded and DNA tested before being prepared to enable finding homes in the domestic Equine world. All handling is to be done to a level of expectation for safe and successful rehoming.

All rehomed Brumbies will be branded, microchipped and rehomed on a life lease with a boomerang policy, meaning the horse can come back to the sanctuary should there be any of life's unexpected events.

As the Sanctuary establishes, we wish to have accommodation and camping for those who wish to enjoy their Australian Legacy.

We would envisage Clinics and educational events in the future. Whilst this is a brief outline of our goals and dreams there is still much to be done to achieve best practices and succeed.

If HOOFS2010 Inc ever ceased to exist, then under the law all assets transfer to another Incorporated Association with the same mission and purpose after all debts are finalized if any.
