On Sunday, 29th September 2024, a young foal, later named Gulliver, was found alone in the Kiandra area by Lari Fari, a photographer who had been watching him in hopes that his herd would return. After hours with no sign of his mob, Lari contacted Ian and Michelle Brown, who immediately set out to rescue the colt. Gulliver is now in the care of Donna Pratt, our trusted foster foal carer. He represents both the fragility and resilience of the Kiandra Greys.

Silver Springs Equine 2024 was born out of a deep-seated need to take action against the planned aerial shooting of Brumbies in the High Country of Kosciuszko, NSW. The thought of foals being orphaned, left to fend for themselves as helicopters chased their mothers, was a heartbreaking reality that galvanised a determined response. This was not a situation any of us would want, except for those in government and their agencies who sought the eradication of these horses.
