Description
Living Legends is modelled closely on the Home of Rest for Horses in the United Kingdom where they aim to support equine research, education and training to benefit horses of all ages and breeds. Special emphasis, however, is given to the care of older horses This is home to several of our most loved retired racehorses, including Brew, Efficient, Apache Cat, Fawkner, Almandin, Twilight Payment, Redkirk Warrior (GB) and Peniaphobia (IRE). During the tour you will have the opportunity to feed and pat the horses.

A memorable afternoon at Living Legends
Beautiful property. Magnificent heritage homestead and rose garden. The history of Living Legends and story of each horse well explained. The memorial garden was special. Wonderful to meet the horses close up with pats and treats. Delicious Devonshire Tea.
