Protecting the wild horses of the Kimberley in North Western Australia and informing the Australian public about the true value of their wild horses
|
Current Projects and News
We are currently monitoring some of the Remote communities in the Kimberley where foals have been attacked by hungry camp dogs. Two were so badly injured they couldn’t be saved, despite desperate efforts by our team. Two other foals were trapped by kids and mistreated but were saved by a teacher and we were able to send out hay and weaning pellets for them until they were well enough to graze and rejoin their herd.
Our new. filly Mistral is doing well after her mother died from snakebite. She’s being cared for by her two big brothers Scotty and Oberon.
The gelding of stallions over on Waterbank has been a success. That herd has now settled nicely with one stallion to protect the herd and geldings to be uncles to new foals. Two foals are doing well.
Wild Horses Kimberley's first project of the year is to geld some stallions which are injuring foals in the conservation area near Broome. As well as protecting the foals, it will also reduce the population growth, allowing the horses to remain.
We are fundraising to be able to buy a set of mobile panels. These will enable us to enclose the stallions for gelding.
Support WHKWild Horses Kimberley is a non-profit organisation, relying on donations and fund-raising to continue to safeguard the horses of our region.
Help us by donating towards the general feed and welfare of our wild horses, monitoring and counts of wild herds, and specific programs to rescue or recover horses who may require our care. |
