Meet DJ
– 17-year-old, 16hh bay Thoroughbred gelding with a heart of gold and a gentle soul that captures everyone he meets.
This beautiful boy was sent to an outside trainer for extensive retraining, where he blossomed into a delightful riding horse. He then spent six wonderful years with a devoted long-term carer. Life’s circumstances have brought DJ back into our care, and we’re now seeking the perfect home where he can thrive once again.
His kind and affectionate nature remains unchanged. He actively seeks connection with people and has a wonderfully calm, independent temperament—he’s perfectly content whether other horses are nearby or not.
We’re currently working with equine vets to investigate some sensitivity we’ve observed during front hoof trimming and while on the lunge, and we’re committed to ensuring DJ receives the best possible care and diagnosis.
Despite his 16hh stature, DJ has that special “pony companion” quality many horse lovers seek. His relaxed, easy-going demeanor is simply divine, making him an ideal companion for someone looking for a gentle friend to share their days with.
We’re wanting to find DJ his forever home by December 2025. If you’re seeking a kind, people-oriented horse who will steal your heart with his sweet nature, DJ might just be the one you’ve been looking for.
Located in the Whittlesea Shire
How to lease a horse
We do not sell horses or adopt them out, they remain a Project Hope horse. This is of great benefit to the new owner and the welfare of the horse.
