A Sanctuary where the bond between horse and human opens a world of connection, learning, and self discovery

Previously trading as Gold Coast Equine Connections

Welcome to

Gold Coast Equine Sanctuary

There is a certain kind of magic that lives in the quiet moments - a gentle knowing, a silent understanding - and it is here, in the company of horses where that magic unfolds.

My name is Michaela, and I am a Mother, a dreamer, and a passionate believer in the healing power of connection. Horses have been my companions, my teachers and my sanctuary for as long as I can remember. They meet us without expectation, without words.

Here at the Gold Coast Equine Sanctuary, located just past Upper Coomera in the beautiful northern Hinterland of the Gold Coast, we honour the simple yet profound idea that healing does not always require talking, action, or fixing. Sometimes, it is found in a still gaze, a quiet breath, a shared heartbeat.

Did you know that horses can feel a human’s heartbeat from four feet away? It is in this, the silent, unseen space where real connection is born - and where emotional regulation, trust, and deep inner calm begin to bloom.
