Horsey/animal volunteer work?

Question

Hi,

i am doing my 'K certificate' for pony club and i would like to do vonulteer work for one of the sections. i am in AUSTRALIA so ONLY organizations from AUSTRALIA!! so far i have thought about RDA (riding for disabled [horse riding]) and rspca (has to be 15yo and over). are there any other places that have volunteer work for horsey/animal people :)

Thanks

and please AUSTRALIA ONLY!!

Answer 1

I'm not familiar with Australia (I'm in the US) but try searching online for some local rescue groups.  I know in my area alone there are 3-4 horse rescue groups that are independantly run.  There should be one around you that allows volunteer work from younger people, although you may have to have a parent accompany you.

Answer 2

That's all I can think of too. First thing I thought of when I saw the question was RDA, as I do it too, I live in NZ. It's fun, rewarding, and you'll meet so many amazing horses, fellow volunteers and riders.
