HORSE RESCUE & REHABILITATION PROGRAM
The Southlands Riding Club Horse Rescue and Rehabilitation Program was established at the Club in October 2015 enabling the Club to make a meaningful difference in the lives of horses and ponies in need of a 'second chance'.
Program horses and ponies benefit from the training provided by certified SRC instructors. Each Program horse or pony has a primary trainer responsible for establishing and meeting both short- and long-term goals tailored to the individual needs of the animal. Once fully rehabilitated and deemed ready to graduate from the Program, these horses and ponies are offered for sale to approved homes, making way for a new horse or pony to enter the Program.
Program 'residents' live on-site at the Club in our show stabling facilities. We are in the process of planning for permanent stabling on the property as part of the Club's longterm strategic planning efforts. Care for the ponies/horses is overseen by the Program Coordinator who is supported by an amazing team of volunteers who provide daily feeding, mucking and grooming the Program residents.
