Emergency planning for horses

 With the 2023 Animal Welfare Seminar, ‘Quit horsing around: Advancing horse welfare in Australia’ coming up very soon (22/23 February – registrations are free!), horse welfare is at the front of mind here at the RSPCA.

For many Australians, the last few years have unfortunately made it all too clear just how important it is to plan for an emergency or disaster.

Please note this is general advice only, and exact preparations will depend on your individual horse or animal and your situation.
