The Wild Horse Homestead Journey...
Founded in 2024 by Michelle and De Wet in Glenwood, Queensland, Wildhorse Homestead is a chemical-free sanctuary born from the founders’ personal journeys through burnout and disconnection.
Combining De Wet’s extensive background in elite sports, military aviation, and holistic recovery with their shared commitment to long-term health, the pair transformed their lives to focus on restoration.
Situated at the foothills of Mount Bauple, the homestead bridges the gap between land and clinic, offering small-batch spices and apocathary remedies from the land, a plant nursery, and wellness studio designed to help others regulate their nervous systems.
Week 26 Journal: Six Months, One Day at a Time

There are milestones you plan for. And then there are the ones you almost miss.
This week, while editing our latest Wildhorse Homestead POV, we realised we’d quietly reached twenty-six weeks of sharing our journey. Six months of opening the gate and inviting you into our little corner of the world.
It felt beautifully fitting that this milestone arrived alongside the Winter Solstice. The shortest day of the year. A turning point that reminds us even in the stillness of winter, the light has already begun returning.
In many ways, that’s exactly what building a homestead feels like. The changes rarely happen overnight. Instead, they arrive through hundreds of ordinary moments that slowly become something extraordinary when you look back.
A Painful Reminder to Slow Down

A painful fall, an unexpected weekend of rest, and a powerful reminder that healing happens through connection, support, and slowing down. This week on the homestead, Michelle reflects on recovery, community, resilience, and the lessons nature continues to teach us.

I can very highly recommend Wildhorse Homestead, very welcoming lovely people and helped me so much more than I could have expected. Physically and mentally. As well as the natural products to go with it and the knowledge behind them.
I had a great experience, learnt a lot of things about my body, have learnt some stretches to help ease my muscle tightness in between visits as well. Very friendly and professional, highly recommend and will be returning.
I received my packet of Lemon Myrtle Tea and love it! It is so refreshing and aromatic to sip on in the morning. Definitely recommend this tea from Wildhorse Homestead to anyone who enjoys a good cup of herbal lemon tea
De Wet was knowledgeable and helpful sharing specific stretches to help alleviate tight hip areas. Massage was relaxing and therapeutic, just what I needed! I'll definitely be returning for another
Website is easy to navigate with high quality products to choose from. I enjoyed having the bundles to choose from.
Hired a trailer from Wildhorse Homestead. The whole process was super easy. Online payment was straightforward, and had the trailer hooked up to the car two minutes later. The equipment was reliable and in good condition, and the people were friendly and helpful.
