Peaceful Sunday morning with our babies enjoying their bales after breakfast 💞

These 2 lovely boys are looking for their forever home where they will be loved and adored into their olden years.

Both around 17 years old 14-14.1hh

Quiet under saddle and super sweet on the ground. Perfect for kiddies on the farm who would love to have their own horses that are safe.

They are best of friends so a home together will only be suitable.

Adoption fee, contract and home check apply

WhatsApp Vicky if your family can offer these amazing boys the perfect home 💞 0731385212

Welcome Ruffus to our family.

Ruffus fell off a truck being transported to slaughter, he was then taken in by a family but sadly turned out to be a Ruffus not a Matilda and upset the neighbours.

Now he can spend his life on the farm making as much noise as he wishes. 💞

So people often wonder why we take so long to rehome our some of our horses.

These are taken 1 month apart.

Charlotte came to us in October 2025 and less than a month later popped out a little mule, we gave her the time to be a mom and build up much needed trust.

We started to work with her in hand end of September and as you can see she was not very willing and rather aggressive, but we carried on working with her slowly, yesterday we had a massive breakthrough with her 🥳

We saddled her up and spent a little time walking her around in hand and standing next to her on the mounting block, she was a dream, so we decided to take that extra leap. What an angel, she fell asleep in my arms, whilst Cara sat on her quietly even taking a short walk without even battering an eyelid.

Yes we take our time and do not force our horses, but it shows that the time is what they need to get over their fear of humans.

Charlotte still has a little way to go, but will be available for adoption towards the end of the year.

Yesterday we did a massive horse paddock change.

Our ponies were not doing a very good job in the dam camp with clearing so we moved our TB herd up to greener pastures 🤩

A couple of abscess (which the farrier addressed on Tuesday) after all the rain we have had, but these babies are looking great and with the spring grazing coming through, we will have to keep a close eye on them.

Here’s to summer days in the dam for our beautiful herd 💞

Happy 24th birthday to our amazing Kaylee Middleton 💞

4 years of dedication to Have a Heart has been a true blessing to us. Through the highs and the lows you have stuck by my side (somehow) and for that I will be forever grateful 💞

Hope you have an incredible day and your year ahead is filled with magic and miracles 🤩

So it’s been a long road waiting for our new chapter to begin, and here we are almost 9 months after our mammoth move, still waiting for transfer……

For almost a month now, the paperwork has been sitting on someone’s desk at the municipality. 2 electrical readings later and yet we still wait for the rates clearance certificate.

The impact or these 9 months of delays are immense. Having to pay occupational rental, loosing out on tenant income not to mention not being able to start on basic upgrade essentials we need to do.

Each month that passes adds more and more pressure and stress onto us than you could ever imagine. We have been at the point of just giving up so many times. Hours of tears have been shed as our basic essentials are not even being met. Not to mention the 900mm of rain that has come down since we have been here and just about flooded us out numerous times. (Ok I will never really complain about rain, but it didn’t really help our situation)

All we want are our title deeds so that we can start to rebuild and grow our beautiful farm into an amazing sanctuary.

We can not build our small camps and stables till transfer, basic essentials especially for new horses coming in.

We can’t fix up the houses, basic things like repairing gutters and sorting out the sewerage issues, so we live with waste and puddles around the houses. Yes we are paying tenants and can’t get a toilet leak fixed.

9 months or what should have been a simple transfer, simultaneous transfer. The cash is in the bank yet we do not have the paperwork.

There is no bond approval waiting, it is just a simple case of time wasting and people not being honest and doing their jobs.

So at the end of the day we suffer and yet we still wait. That’s how badly we believe that we have found our forever home.

We have lost so many donors and supporters over this period, yet each day we wake up and do our very best to ensure we can make it through the day.

We want to thank the handful of people who have stood by us and believed in us through this very difficult period, but I know that once we can call this farm our forever home, we will be able to build up again.

Good Morning all,
