As horse riders in the bush and living on properties where there are native animals we sometimes come across animals needing assistance. Now there is a 24 hour emergency help line. WildLine is Wildlife Victoria’s 24-hour emergency telephone service for people needing help with injured, sick or orphaned wildlife. WildLine operators are volunteers trained to give advice on what to do with native Australian animals in need of care. We have an established, comprehensive system to respond to all manner of wildlife rescue calls and utilise an extensive network of volunteers, government agencies, zoos, emergency services, and private commercial operators. The WildLine number is listed in phone books, council reference books, can be found on road signs, it is given out by other animal welfare services including the RSPCA, the Department of Sustainability and Environment and is kept in the memory of many mobile phones in case of emergency. If you need to arrange care for an injured, sick or orphaned native animal then call WildLine on 0500 540 000. Visit Wildlife Victoria on http://www.wildlifevictoria.org.au/wildline.html
Have Horse … Will Travel is a great new Australian website designed by horse riders for horse riders. The site is all BYO horse – accommodation, agistment for travellers, trails and transport. Whether you are wanting to get away on a family holiday and take your ‘best friend’ with you, go camping for the weekend, or travelling from ‘A’ to ‘B’ (on the show circuit for example) and need to know where to stop along the way, this site will provide it all.
The site was released in July and is being updated regularly as new information comes to hand.
It offers a ‘make this your home page’ option so that when you start up your internet browser you get ‘one click’ access to some of the most commonly used sites such as ebay, google, white pages, yellow pages, where is, wot if, postal rates, currency converter etc as well as some great graphics! (the home page graphic changes monthly to alleviate boredom).
The site developers are keen to have your feedback so make sure you offer it via their feedback page – it is your website after all – visit www.havehorsewilltravel.com.au. And, if you can't find what you are looking for they are happy to help locate what you need - just contact them.
This is an adventure in Equine Conservation. Doctor Sheila Greenwell, and Doctor Paul Wynne - Houchin are rural Veterinarians in Western Australia. Recently, they were alerted to the plight of a herd of selectively bred horses, which run wild on remote station country in central Western Australia. This pastoral area now has new owners and the horses are deemed, " surplus to requirements". The new owners originally planned to cull all of the horses. However, following fruitful discussions the new owners have kindly granted them permission to capture and relocate this unique collection of equine stock for ongoing breeding purposes.
