Current Projects and News
Catch up on the latest news about our four orphan foals in our blog. They were recovered by our team over the last few weeks, and all are doing well and growing fast, but we need your help to ensure they get the best care, feed and support.

We are actively working with out volunteers to protect the horses in the remote Indigenous community of Warnum, where Tom Quilty bred the famous Arab x Quarter Horses. The old horseman at Warnum, Johnny Echo, grew up there and helped with the Quilty Horses. He now traps and trains the wild horses from that area. Read about our work at Warnum |

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. |
