New England Brumby Sanctuary

New England Brumby Sanctuary is situated halfway between Armidale and Guyra on the Northern Tablelands of NSW. With natural country, similar to the regions where the horses free roam, the sanctuary has excellent facilities for managing the horses.

We hold open days for the public as horses become available for adoption. Visitors enjoy seeing the horses handled by our experienced personnel.

2007 saw a long awaited dream for STB with the establishment of the New England Brumby Sanctuary (NEBS) situated on the outskirts of Armidale, NSW.

This 1400 acre property was chosen as it is as close as possible to the natural country where the horses traditionally free range. Largely untouched and consisting of undulating grazing land and natural bushland horses come here as they are relocated from national parks.

Horses are kept in their family groups to settle before we begin the handling process. When ready for handling they are yarded in specially designed stock yards in small groups for individual attention. We use all natural training methods, each horse is managed according to his unique personality and his progress is noted on his personal Brumby file.

We hold Inspection Days at NEBS as we have horses available for Adoption. To see the wild horses in this setting is inspiring and educational; to see the horses being handled and trained is an experience to remember.

The flora and fauna at NEBS is unique to the Northern Tablelands, we even care for the endangered Booralong frog and show how native and introduced species can mingle together without environmental damage under careful management.
