We actually have lots of floats lined up within 60 minutes of Perth (helps that many members have horses; therefore floats, lol) but out your way, not many, so brilliant!

While I’m talking offers; Save Equus Inc. have a great source of feed for their rescued & “intervention” horses (18 to October this year alone, and another this week!) and offers of floats and farriers and vets etc. We really need people to remember to renew their memberships, so we can always at least reimburse the helpers their expenses. If you’ve overlooked it, we will be calling soon, and that’s another 30cents our volunteers will pay out of their own pockets that could go towards hay or a feed for a human with a horse in need.

And as we’ve been so busy this year with interventions and our work with the RSPCA to take action against horse abusers, and our complex work within Racing to ensure the future of racehorses is considered, we have fallen behind in our correspondence and offers of assistance! So if you made an offer to us and we received it during a particularly busy time, please please please make contact again, so that we might take your details and call on you when future horses are in need.

I particularly, as an overworked volunteer in this field (think late nights helping horses out of strife, taking days out of my own heavy work schedule to check on and relocate horses, and I handle & rehabilitate troubled horses that we save for free, so that they may be rehomed and the new owner is safe and supported) would love to hear from people who are self-motivated and enthusiastic about making a real difference within the animal welfare cause. I can mentor you, and will appreciate the help from the bottom of my heart.

Right now in Australia, Animal Welfare consists of people buying horses out of trouble, or turning a blind eye (let’s face it, it sucks seeing those horses at the markets). I have extensive international knowledge of the most productive and effective ways to go about changing the situation, not just getting the horse outta there, and liaise with global animal welfare groups and experts… But I need more help. Save Equus Inc. need help. The fabulous and motivated committee would appreciate more help. We all have jobs and families and only 24 hours in the day!

This is kinda like an ad. for a job; it is more than a job! It’ll be the most frustrating, emotional but rewarding part-time role you’ll have.
