Wayward Spirit
– 9 year old Bay Thoroughbred Mare,approx 16hh
Wayward Spirit came into Project Hope Horse Welfare’s care at the end of September 2025 after being impounded by Hume Council. She and her three paddock companions were repeatedly escaping through fencing and wandering onto roads, creating a dangerous situation for themselves and motorists.
When contacted, the owner surrendered all four horses, revealing they had purchased them from Gumtree for just $1 and no longer wanted them.
Background:
- Sire: Stryker
- Dam: Wayward Whisper
- Racing/Riding History: Unraced and unridden
- Previous Role: Broodmare
Current Status: Wayward Spirit is currently in the care of one of our experienced handlers, where she is undergoing settling-in, health checks, and comprehensive assessments. It’s clear that she and her companions have been neglected for some time and require significant attention and care to help them recover both physically and emotionally.
We will continue to update her profile as we learn more about her temperament, health needs, and personality. For now, our focus is on providing Wayward Spirit with the nutrition, veterinary care, and gentle handling she deserves.
Located in the Hume Shire
