Support Bella Cavallo’s Horses in Need

Bella Cavallo in Wandandian on the South Coast of NSW is a small, dedicated horse rescue and trail‑riding sanctuary run by Vanessa Hartley, who is well known across the area for stepping in when horses have nowhere else to go. Many horses she takes in have been surrendered, neglected, traumatised, or injured, and Vanessa gives each one the time, care, and compassion they deserve.

Right now, Bella Cavallo is raising funds for Brandy, a beautiful Australian Brumby who urgently needs a $5,000+ operation to give her a pain‑free future.

Alongside Brandy’s surgery, Bella Cavallo faces the ongoing cost of caring for around 25 horses, with feed, supplements, and basic care costing over $1,500 every week. Only about half of these horses are rideable, meaning the trail‑riding business supports just a portion of Bella Cavallo’s needs.

Your donation will help provide:

• Veterinary care & medications for horses recovering from injury or trauma

• Feed, supplements & farrier care

• Safe fencing & shelter improvements

• Transport and rehabilitation support for rescued and surrendered horses

• Ongoing care for horses who cannot be rehomed.

Every dollar directly supports the rescue and surrendered horses who rely on Vanessa’s kindness community generosity to survive and heal.

Bella Cavallo is more than a trail‑riding business — it is a refuge where horses are treated with respect, patience, and love, no matter their past.

Bella Cavallo is also a peaceful place where people can relax and reconnect with themselves through the healing presence of horses and the natural bushland.

Your support helps keep these horses safe, fed, and cared for, and gives Brandy the good life she deserves.
