Tapiki
Bay Thoroughbred Mare | 18 years old
Surrendered: End of September 2025
Tapiki came into Project Hope Horse Welfare’s care after being impounded by Hume Council. She and her three paddock companions were repeatedly escaping through fencing onto roadways, creating a dangerous situation. When council officers contacted the owner, they declined to reclaim the horses, revealing they had purchased all four for just $1 via Gumtree.
Racing Background:
- Sire: Bradbury’s Luck (AUS)
- Dam: Bayremah (NZ)
- Race Record: 8 starts, $15,950 in prize money
Current Status: Tapiki is currently in the care of one of our experienced handlers, where she is undergoing a thorough settling-in period. We are completing comprehensive health checks and behavioral assessments to better understand her needs.
It’s clear that Tapiki and her companions have been neglected for some time and require significant attention, care, and rehabilitation. As we learn more about her temperament, health status, and suitability for rehoming, we will update her profile accordingly.
What Tapiki Needs: Time, patience, proper nutrition, veterinary care, and the chance to learn that humans can be trusted again.
Located in Hume Shire
Stay tuned for updates as this beautiful mare begins her journey toward a brighter future.
