Help Us
Help Them

With help from our generous supporters, The Wild Horse Project has mustered, tamed and rehomed hundreds of wild horses. We expect to muster and rescue at least 100 horses over the next year, and we rely on your donations - to cover their emergency food, urgent veterinary care, our equipment, and much more.  The Wild Horse Project is a registered charity CC61637.

For just $15, you can help us feed a wild horse for a day.

Da Vinci is just a wonderful horse to have around. We’ve used him for trekking, mustering, competing and more. He’s picked up ribbons and much admired in the pleasure ring for his lovely nature and smooth movement. Great to go out on trail rides as he’s sure footed and confident in a group. Goes in a halter or bridle and is sensitive and calm to the aids.

Upcoming Events

We run Wild Horse Workshops throughout the year where you can come and get real hands-on experience working with and taming wild horses. We cater to all levels and spectators are welcome.

 

Under the mentorship and guidance of our founder Chloe Phillips-Harris, you will improve your understanding of horse behaviour and learn the step by step process in taming wild horses.

 

Our workshops can be a  three-day foal handling course through to week long completely immersive workshop working with mature horses. 

 

We even have special retreats throughout the year, where you can see the horses in the wild, help us with mustering and tame them on sight.

 

Our workshops are a great pathway to adopting a wild horse and those who wish can take a horse home with them at the end.

 

We believe wild and feral horses deserve a chance. We help them adapt to live happy, well-adjusted and fulfilled lives they start this new chapter as domestic horses. We work with wild horses of all ages, nothing is exempt. Through our understanding of horse behaviour there hasn't been any horses we couldn't tame, or hasn't adjusted to domestic life.
 

From mature stallions all the way down to newborn foals, we work with every horse that comes into our care. We open up our training methods to public, with wild horse workshops, educational clinics, working student positions and private lessons. So that more people can learn how to work with these amazing animals and improve their horsemanship along the way.
