Staff at two World Horse Welfare Rescue and Rehoming Centres recently welcomed groups of new RSPCA Inspectorate recruits for training to prepare them for assessing and handling any horses they may come across when attending welfare concerns around the country.

Both animal welfare charities have pooled their expertise for the first time to train the latest intake of Animal Rescue Officers with both theory learning and practical hands-on experience.

Twelve recruits got to grips with horses at World Horse Welfare’s Hall Farm Rescue and Rehoming Centre in Norfolk and another group of eleven were hosted by Penny Farm, the charity’s centre near Blackpool. Each group of Animal Rescue Officer recruits spent two days at one of the farms.

The RSPCA deals with many different types of animals and whilst a number of officers are already experienced horsewomen and men, some of the new recruits may have had little or no experience of horses.
