What should I do if my horse has died in the Tamworth & North-West?

Phone Alby on 0493 814 474. You do not need to move your horse, contact your vet again, or call multiple providers. One call begins everything — collection, cremation and the return of ashes if you choose.

Move other horses to a separate paddock if it is safe to do so, and stay with your horse if you wish.

Is on-property burial possible in the Tamworth & North-West?

On many rural and rural-residential properties, yes — subject to your local council rules, lot size, depth to water table and waterway setbacks. See our horse burial rules guide for NSW for a plain-English summary, or phone us and we'll tell you what applies in your area.

  • They understood she was family, not ‘just a bird’.
