And importantly, recognition of the horse as a part of our culture and heritage.

Advocate.Communicate.Educate.
Advocacy is continuous, and takes place on multiple levels and in many formats, from Members of Parliament receiving a regular e-news, through to meetings, participating on committees with government representatives, or in public consultations, reviewing documents, coordinating information and engaging in social media.
Communication is ongoing, including face to face meetings or online webinars supported by the Horse SA website, Facebook, E-news, Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest & Youtube. Lastly, there is the Horse SA warehouse holding information from past projects and events. Horse enthusiasts are invited to join, like or follow.
Education, including conferences, workshops, farm walks or special interest talks, is linked to the core business areas outlined in Horse SA’s strategic plan. Educational opportunities may be formal, social, online or consist of photographic, audio or written resources.
This work assists to attract, retain and build capacity within the community of horse enthusiasts in South Australia, further enabling in some way for people to ride and own horses, join clubs, go to events and support businesses.
We warmly welcome you to join the Horse SA community.
