HORSE SAFETY AUSTRALIA

Horse Safety Australia is committed to improving the safety record of horse activities in Australia. We are doing this through a number of means:

• qualifications for horse riding instructors, clinicians and trail guides
• horse safety procedures available for all
• tips for safety around horses
• lists of  those who have completed a clinic with Horse Safety Australia
• endorsements of safety products related to horse riding and handling, and OHS issues around horses
• tips to new riders on what to look for in a riding instructor/riding school/trail riding operations

Horse Safety Australia Inc (formerly known as the Association for Horsemanship Safety and Education in Australia Inc) is a non-profit Incorporated Association.

Our first priority is to help you improve the safety and quality of your horse activity. Our membership and resources are available to any individual or group sharing our commitment to improving the safety and quality of horse related programs.

Horse Safety Australia has been the leader in setting standards for the industry.

Horse Safety Australia certification is recognised by the Education Departments in New South Wales, Queensland, South Australia, Tasmania, Western Australia and Victoria and by the Australian Horse Industry Council, and our qualifications are linked to the Outdoor Recreation Training Package through a private Registered Training Organisation.

The units covered in Horse Safety Australia qualifications meet requirements in the AAS (Adventure Activity Standards) for trail riding.

“Excel With Safety”

Horse Safety Australia is actively engaged in setting and promoting standards of excellence in safety and education, for those involved in all sectors of the recreational horse industry.
