Hi, I’m Hope

🐴 Meet Hope - A Gentle Soul Looking for Her Forever Home
Name: Hope
Age: 10 years
Breed: Thoroughbred
Sex: Mare
Location: RSPCA Townsville
Experience Level Required: Intermediate to experienced horse handler (not suitable for beginners)

Hope is a beautiful-natured mare with a beautiful and kind temperament. At 10 years old, she's ready for a second chance at life beyond the track. She hasn't been ridden in some time, so she'll need a patient and knowledgeable person who understands pressure and release techniques and is willing to take things slow.
Hope thrives with gentle handling and will benefit from a consistent routine that helps her rebuild trust and confidence.

She's not suitable for a beginner, but in the right hands, she has the potential to become a loyal and rewarding companion.
If you have the time, experience, and heart to give Hope the fresh start she deserves, she could be the perfect addition to your paddock.
