Meet the residents of Jasper's Rest.

Whilst teaching at an equestrian centre one day, Chloe witnessed a small bay gelding being whipped constantly whilst on a lunge. He was beyond terrified and the frustration from the trainer was very apparent. After speaking with the trainer and meeting the unnamed gelding, Chloe offered to buy him and left with him that afternoon. Thomas still to this day is a very sensitive and nervous fellow but extremely friendly and the clown of the herd.

Ori was born missing an eye. The owner believed she would not make a good performance horse and was to be euthanised however Chloe offered to buy the foal and keep her safe.

Bridie came to us after her owner passed away and she could no longer have foals so was going to be put down by her new owner.

Ex racehorse first rescued by Save a Horse Australia. Cillian was days from dying due to starvation when he was picked up by SAHA. It's a miracle he survived. Chloe put in EOI to SAHA as soon as she saw him, vowing that he would never be hungry again. He has just begun his psychological retraining with Chloe.

Ronin is a BIG, sweet boy who has Shivers. Because of this he was unwanted by those wanting a performance horse, which is what he was bred for. Chloe watched him for months on the market and then purchased him as he had a good chance of being put down or sold for slaughter.

Nico was captured on film being whipped multiple times by one of Australia's most successful dressage trainers. He had residual behavioural issues and was sent to Chloe from a trainer friend who ended up with him and knew he was not at all safe for your average horse person.

One of the worst cases of neglect and starvation we have. Oonagh was housed in a bare paddock with a very aggressive stallion for years. She was rescued severely underweight… and then had a foal! Amazingly she and the foal both survived.

Donal is the quietest horse you'll ever meet. Due to a knee injury he sustained while training to be a racehorse, Donal was going to be put down as he is unrideable but we intervened. He's Oonagh's paddock mate and has already had a calming effect on her, he's also showing her that other horses can be your friend.

Slim has a broken pelvis sustained in a barrier accident and a bowed tendon. Obviously unrideable, he was to be put down or sent through the sales but we took him in before this could happen.

The scars all over Saoirse tell of her trauma. She was found extremely emaciated and terrified of humans.

Trick won nearly $200,000 and was retired at 9 then sent to a beginner home. Unfortunately he degloved his back leg and was surrendered to SAHA where we found him and brought him home.

Shay went through Laidley sales 12 times and has been obviously tortured, a former owner remarked that she should have shot him.

Rosie was wild until she was 5 and was then broken and sent straight out to be a performance horse… however she had other ideas. She was sent to Chloe to be reeducated but she loved Rosie and her wildness so Chloe purchased the mare.

Morgan was to be put down due to being classed as a “dangerous horse” by her dressage trainer. Chloe intervened and she came to live at Jasper's Rest 10 years ago.
