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

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.  
OUR ORPHAN FOALS NEED YOUR HELP, Support Us Here


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.

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.
