Horses in our Care
Please see below horses available for adoption. These horses have been rescued by volunteer Foster Carers and are still in need of a permanent new home.
Please note that descriptions of breed, age and size are given in good faith and are based on assessment of the animals features. The age and breed of a horse may be determined by tracing its brands, however, this is beyond the scope of the organisation.
Horses are rescued from pounds, sales yards or knackeries in Sydney, Australia. Many are victims of the drought, neglect or simply no longer wanted by their owners.
Foster carers in the Sydney area are needed so that more horses can be rescued.
Foster Carers in Sydney Needed!
DCH Horses urgently needs foster carers located in Greater Sydney.
Fostering involves taking the horse/s to your home and caring for it as if it was your own, until a permanent home can be found.
Basic must haves for carers:
- experience with a variety of horses
- own at least one other horse
- time & finances to support an extra horse
- have the space available for 6 months to over a year
- not be moving properties in the near future
Please phone 1300-88-93-40 for full details. Alternatively use our contact form.

Tiny is a red roan, approx 13.3 hh.
She has been through a lot: starvation, abuse and neglect. Happily, she has blossomed in DCH's care, and will continue to gain trust in people in the right home.
Tiny has loads of personality! She is very smart and will learn quickly from a patient, kind and understanding handler. She can be a bit feisty in the paddock and is dominant with other horses and around food.
Tiny would suit an experienced home with someone who has time to do groundwork with her, she loves attention and being mentally challenged.
Tiny has been in care for over a year. She requires an experienced home to further her education.
Tiny has been in foster care since 07 October 2018, for 6.1 years
