Rhonda Petschel
Horse health / Care
Rhonda Petschel has been involved in Project Hope Horse Welfare Victoria for over 15 years. Her love of horses has been life long, always having a horse to love and ride on the farm as she grew up. As an adult however she had a burning desire to do things better and developed a keen interest in learning how horses learn and using these principles for ethical horse training. Project Hope gave her an opportunity to deepen this knowledge by becoming involved with the rehabilitation of horses coming into their care. The more involved she became with the organisation the more respect she had for how the members support the welfare of horses and their owners within the community. Rhonda has held the role of Secretary and is currently Vice President. She is the current Horse Representative trainer and Project Manager. Her passion is investigating scientific based horse care, sharing this with the community with the aim of enriching the lives of both horses and people that love them.

Horse Rescue, Rehabilitation & Rehoming: how our members support the horses & owners in their community
Project Hope investigates horse neglect and abuse; advises and supports owners; and rehabilitates neglected horses. We visit paddocks or properties when we receive a report of horse neglect or cruelty. We are involved in all aspects of rescue, rehabilitation and rehoming. Our primary aim is to aid horse owners to look after their own horses.
In this talk you will hear how we go about helping the horses in trouble and some of our successes (and losses) in the pursuit of improving horse welfare.
