A recent independent evaluation has brought new attention to Hoofbeats Sanctuary Sunshine Coast in Yandina, highlighting the significant impact of its trauma -informed, equine-assisted programs. Operated by Kanyini Connections Ltd, the sanctuary has been supporting girls and women since 2019, offering experiential, nature-based interventions that build emotional wellbeing, confidence and self-awareness. The evaluation underscores the effectiveness of these programs, demonstrating how the sanctuary’s unique approach is delivering meaningful mental health outcomes.
Across Australia mental illness has become the most common chronic health condition, affecting more than 1 in 4 people. Young women are particularly vulnerable, with nearly half of females aged 16-24 reporting a mental-health disorder in the past year. Qld faces even higher rates of self harm hospitalisations compared with the national average. Compounding these challenges, traditional mental health systems remain overstretched, and individuals with complex trauma often struggle to benefit from conventional therapeutic approaches.
Hoofbeats Sanctuary offers an alternative pathway to healing through two 12-week programs: Go Remarkable for girls and young women aged 12–24, and Recovery and Discovery for women aged 25 and above. Both programs are led by certified Equine Assisted Learning practitioners who bring professional expertise as well as lived experience. Rather than horse riding, the focus is on safe, ground-based interactions with horses and ponies. Participants learn to read equine body language, understand herd behaviour, and practise trust-building, boundaries, mindfulness and emotional regulation.

New assembly point for Anzac Day March in Eumundi
Marchers and community members are advised of a small change to this year’s Anzac Day march arrangements in Eumundi. Although there are no markets in town on Saturday 25 April, updated permit guidelines mean participants are no longer able to assemble on a roadway.
This year’s assembly point will be on the Second Terrace behind the Eumundi QCWA Hall on Memorial Dr at 7.30am. The area will be clearly signposted. From there the group will walk together behind the Noosa & District Pipe Band to the amphitheatre.
Plenty of free parking will be available in the top car park. If you’re unsure where to go on the day, follow the signs or ask a friendly face. ... See MoreSee Less
