Wandarrah Estate
Premium equine agistment and rehabilitation facility
Agistment
Our vision is to become a leader in sustainable horse management, working in harmony with the environment, whilst complimenting a horse's natural desire to express normal behaviours and social activities.
Horses by nature are highly social animals. They need other horses for company and never live alone by choice. Domestic horses have the same behaviours as wild horses, even when in captivity these instincts are strong and are still very much a part of their genetic make-up.
We provide an opportunity for horses to thrive both physically and mentally, in a herd environment, with the freedom to express normal behaviours and social activities.
