The New Sanctuary has been Chosen
PRESS RELEASE
We are excited to announce our mission to secure land for a new working Sanctuary has finally come to fruition.
Our new working Sanctuary called Mirrabooka Baroomby Moonyah (Wild Horse Safe House) will be located at Harrow Victoria. The property comes with 172 acres of rolling hills, three large dams, two seasonal creeks, a spring and a small cottage.
All of HOOFS existing infrastructure will be relocated to the new sanctuary. We are in the process of raising funds to establish and build extra infrastructure including sheds, water tanks, stables, yards and fencing.
Our vision for the new working 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 and therefore the Sanctuary will have longevity, just as the Brumby horse has endured and proved itself through the passage of time, surviving for centuries.
In pursuit of our objectives we will work with the government and advocate for government funding in the form of grants to support our cause.
Once the infrastructure is established over the next few months our Brumbies and the Brumbies coming out of the National Parks as wild horses will be introduced to their new home. Suitable Brumbies will be assessed, DNA tested and recorded before being prepared to enable finding new homes in the domestic equine world. All handling is done to a level of expectation for safe and successful re-homing.
All Brumbies before they are re-homed will be branded, micro-chipped and re-homed 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.
The new sanctuary can also work with equine veterinarian specialists to research, trial and establish a fertility control program on the mares. These fertility control trials, if successful, would become a world leading scientific breakthrough.
​
As the Sanctuary establishes we will be coordinating clinics and educational events. We will also offer accommodation and camping for those who wish to enjoy their Australian legacy and study the Brumby horses in their natural environment.
​
There is much work to be done in the near future and long term to establish a safe house for Australia’s Brumby wild horses. To achieve our goals and dreams we welcome any support through donations, lending a hand or advocating for our iconic Brumby wild horses.

WORKING TO
SAVE & PROMOTE
AUSTRALIAN WILD HORSES
THE BRUMBY
HOOFS have worked in wild horse rescue and rehoming for over 14 years with over 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?
Suitable Brumbies, will be 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.
