Volunteering at Horse Rescue Australia
As a practitioner member of the Shelter Animal Rescue Association
(SARA) I offer  weekly Reiki treatments on a volunteer basis to the horses in the care of Horse Rescue
Australia Inc at Freeman's Reach, NSW.
Horse Rescue Australia Inc. is a non-profit organisation and registered
charity, devoted to the care and rehabilitation of horses that have been
abused, abandoned or neglected. HRA is self-funded through memberships,
sponsorships, donations and benefit events. HRA receives no government
funding at all.
Since 1986 when HRA began, over 1,400 horses have passed through
their gates with the vast majority placed into new homes. By supporting
the new owners and not allowing horses to be sold on, HRA are able to
assure that horses will never return to the condition in which they were
found.
