Horse Retirement

Waterfall Creek Horse Retirement and Boarding is situated on 60ha of valley country, nestled in the rolling foothills of the Great Dividing Range 85kms east of Albury-Wodonga. It has been managed using organic principles since 1995, and extensive work has been carried out to re-establish native vegetation shelter belts, diverse pasture cover, and wildlife corridors.

Surrounded by farming properties and native bush, it is a quiet and idyllic setting free of busy roads, industrial noise and urban pollution.

Created from a desire to see improved welfare and care of horses at all stages of their life, Waterfall Creek Horse Retirement and Boarding offers:

Long term and lifetime retirement care for horses.
Temporary, short and medium term care for horse.

Horse Living Arrangements:

Guest horses will live in a nurturing and caring environment designed to meet their physical and emotional horse needs that take into consideration their individual requirements, as well as the social bonds and herd structures that the horses form amongst themselves.

Paddock systems are set out to encourage movement for physical health. Guest horses live in a free roaming herd situation which provides for their emotional needs. They have regular access to spring fed dams allowing for water play. Supplementary herbs and minerals as well as full time access to plentiful and predominately native pasture maintains good internal health.

In addition, all the guest horses are provided with regular human contact and interaction throughout the week, as well as an individual comprehensive weekly check to ensure they are maintaining good health and good spirits.

The Operators:

Glenn Wilson and Kelly Bick are committed to the welfare and wellbeing of horses especially, and animals in general. They have an eclectic herd of horses, each with their own interesting story, ranging in age from foals born on the property to our most senior citizen at 39 years of age.

Glenn and Kelly base their horse management and care on contemporary horsemanship and natural herd living.

Glenn is a qualified and experienced barehoof practitioner who is involved in, and runs barehoof care workshops, as well as educational programmes and courses to promote harmonious methods of horse handling and riding.

Kelly began her journey with horses as a 9 year old, attending the local pony club. In the last few years she has shifted her focus to gentle and compassionate horsemanship techniques.

Both spend time trail riding and pleasure harness driving some of their horses. In addition Kelly and Glenn are using ethical horsemanship techniques to train and re-train horses and foals.
