Authorities seized 35 neglected horses from a Victoria property in Oct 2025, exposing systemic animal welfare failures.
In October 2025, authorities seized 35 severely neglected horses from a Mount Eliza, Victoria property owned by former trainer Maxine Elizabeth Galpin, following years of documented animal welfare concerns.
The remaining 18 male horses on the site show serious injuries, infections, and malnutrition, though they do not currently meet legal thresholds for intervention.
Despite a 2016 racing license revocation over unsanitary conditions, Galpin retained horse ownership due to weak state regulations.
Activists, including Carly Wines, have campaigned for years, citing starvation, parasites, and poor care since at least 2009.
The case has spotlighted systemic gaps in animal welfare enforcement and fueled calls for urgent reform in Victoria.
