What a day at Flemington for VRC Country Raceday 🏇

For Fabs Cowboy (aka George), it was a first visit to Headquarters, and it’s fair to say he made himself right at home. Australia’s winningest racehorse and an outback Queensland favourite, George spent the day meeting new friends, soaking up the attention and discovering a new love for life at Flemington.

Redkirk Warrior (aka Kirk), meanwhile, was back on familiar ground. The seasoned campaigner thrived in an environment he knows so well, happily greeting fans and enjoying every bit of attention that came his way.

A successful day for both boys, with plenty of pats, photos and carrots enjoyed along the way 🥕❤️

We’re proud to congratulate our CEO and Veterinary Director, Dr Andrew Clarke OAM, on being awarded a Medal of the Order of Australia in the King’s Birthday Honours.

This recognition reflects Andrew’s lifelong dedication to animal welfare, veterinary care, and the wellbeing of countless horses and animals throughout his career. His passion and commitment have helped shape Living Legends into the special place it is today.

As Living Legends celebrates its 20th year this year, it is fitting to recognise the significant role Andrew has played in the organisation’s journey. Through his leadership and commitment, Living Legends has grown into a place where retired champion racehorses can thrive.

In Andrew’s words, “I’ve been very lucky to work with so many good people, teams, volunteers and supporters, and that is what this award is about, especially with my work at Living Legends.”

This honour is a reflection not only of Andrew’s dedication, but also of the many people who have contributed to Living Legends over the past two decades. We thank everyone who has been part of that journey.

Congratulations, Andrew, on this well-deserved recognition. We are proud to celebrate this achievement with you.

🚨 Bernie and Harry have a big day planned tomorrow! 🚨

Our handsome standardbred duo, Sundon’s Gift (Bernie) and Just Believe (Harry), are dusting off their best parade manners and heading to Warragul Trots.

Catch the boys after Races 3, 4 and 5 as they strut their stuff, collect plenty of pats and remind everyone that retirement looks pretty good.

If you’re trackside, be sure to come and say hello!

What a day at Flemington! 🌦️

With sunshine, showers and everything in between, Apache Cat and Tom Melbourne took it all in their stride, soaking up plenty of pats, attention and admiration from racegoers throughout the day.

A special highlight was seeing Tom Melbourne catch up with Sheila Laxon and John Symons, the co-trainers of 2026 Melbourne Cup winner Knights Choice. 🏆

Rain or shine, our legends always know how to make the most of a day at the races! 🐴❤️

🌱 Happy World Environment Day! 🌱

At Living Legends, caring for our retired champions goes hand in hand with caring for the environment they call home.

Recently, we were delighted to welcome some of the team from Sportsbet for a volunteer day at the farm. With plenty of enthusiasm (and shovels in hand!), they helped plant a number of new trees across the property, contributing to our ongoing sustainability efforts and helping create an even greener future for our Legends.

A huge thank you to the Sportsbet team for rolling up their sleeves and helping make a lasting impact. 🌳🐴

A big thank you to Racing.com for having our CEO Andrew Clarke on Monday Racing this week.

It was a fantastic opportunity to share the Living Legends story, our mission to provide exceptional lifelong care for retired champion racehorses, and the important role these much-loved horses continue to play in connecting communities with racing.

The program also featured an update on fan favourite Chautauqua, with insights from our dedicated Vet Nurse Molly, whose unwavering care and commitment help ensure our legends receive the very best support in their retirement.

Thank you to the Racing.com team for helping us shine a light on the horses, people and stories that make Living Legends so special. 🐴💚

We were so delighted to host Ken & Susi Hughes as they celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary with us at Living Legends 🥂✨

The couple enjoyed our Grand Day Out package — the ultimate experience for anniversaries, special occasions, gifts, or simply “just because” 💫

Nothing makes us happier than seeing our visitors create lifelong memories here… especially when they leave us a beautiful little note in our visitor book too 🥰📖

Here’s to love, laughter, and celebrating life’s special moments surrounded by legends 🐎🤍

This National Volunteer Week, we want to take a moment to recognise the incredible people who help keep everything at Living Legends running behind the scenes.

From our volunteer maintenance groundsmen who work tirelessly to keep the property looking its best, to those helping in the rose garden, around the horses, events, and every corner in between — your time, hard work and dedication never go unnoticed.

Quite simply, without our volunteers, Living Legends wouldn’t function the way it does. Thank you for everything you do to help make this place so special.

Especially Bruce and Neville who have dedicated so much of their time to us🤍
