Heavy Horse Heaven

Heavy Horse Heaven (HHH) is located in Yass, NSW, just north of Canberra.. Heavy Horse Heaven is located in Yass, NSW, just north of Canberra.

At HHH we work hard to build our infrastructure to support heavy breed horses who may have fallen by the wayside. Here at Heavy Horse Heaven we are working hard to set up infrastructure and a support base to enable us to take in those heavy friends who are in need of some TLC or just a comfy place to live out their days. There are many reasons that some people are unable to care for or keep their horses and we would like to help. There are many wonderful horse rescue organisations around the country, but it would seem there are none dedicated to our gentle giants.

Thank you legends!!

🔸HHH Volunteers of the Month🔸
Mary & Paolo Beneforti

This month, we’re proud to recognise Mary and Paolo Beneforti, a wonderful couple who have been part of the Heavy Horse Heaven family for more than 7 years!

Mary and Paolo each bring their own special skills and qualities to HHH, and together they make an incredible contribution to the care of our horses and the upkeep of our property.

Paolo is our very handy go-to man, always willing to lend a hand fixing things around the property and keeping our paddocks in great condition by regularly dragging them. His practical skills and willingness to help are invaluable.

Mary has a beautiful way with our horses. An excellent groomer, her gentle and patient nature helps keep the horses relaxed and settled. It’s a special quality that makes such a difference to the horses in her care.

Seven years of showing up, lending a hand and giving their time is something worth celebrating. We are incredibly grateful to have you both as part of the HHH family.

And there’s another exciting achievement worth sharing! Mary has recently published her book, The Horse Children: Destiny. We love seeing our volunteers pursuing their passions, and we encourage everyone to check it out and support Mary in this wonderful achievement!

Thank you, Mary and Paolo, for everything you do for HHH and our horses. We are lucky to have you both!

We’ve had a huge couple of weeks behind the scenes.

Although we can’t say much just yet, we can say there is something very special coming up early next year that we will tell you about as soon as we are able.

Thank you so much to the crew we have been working with, the amazing people we have met and the love and kindness that we have witnessed.

Also big thanks to Em, Brooke, Pat and Rosie for all their help.

Watch this space!!

We made it before the big storms that are not far off from hitting.

Our beautiful HHHGwyn was delivered to her new home with Courtney this morning.

We couldn’t have wished for a better home.

Thank you Courtney. We kinda knew from the moment you two met she was choosing you. 🥰🩵🙌

As tomorrow is set to be VERY wet and soggy we won’t be having the Vols out so today Vanessa, Jastelle and Jo came out to help move some of the land whales from the “lolly shop” paddock across the road, back to HQ.

Thank you guys!! I’m sure I’d still be going well into the night without your help 🤗🩵

💜HOME FOUND💜

**DIRECT REHOMING**

Hi Family,

This beautiful girl sadly lost her owner recently and his family aren’t horse people. They have asked us to try and find her a new loving home.

Brielle is a sweet 18yo TB lady located at Bathurst.

She is well handled but we don’t have a great deal of information on her.

If you think Brielle would suit your family, or have any questions please PM us and we will pass on contact details of someone to chat to about her.

Thank you 🙏

Tootsie & Tune Up Tuesday today.

Gypsy, Gwyn, Ritchie, Cash, Zeus had pedis with Matt Fordham Equine Hoofcare Professional and Cash and Monique received some wonderful body work from Boyne Equine Health - Sinead McCann

Ritchie was “helping” Sinead with Cash’s treatment. The poor kid is so tight all over, but with some kindness and understanding he will start to relax soon.

Thank you both for supporting us!!
