Caring for a horse Horses depend entirely on their carers for their wellbeing. By following best practice guidance and seeking help when needed, owners can ensure their horses enjoy good health, comfort and quality of life. If you own or care for a horse in Western Australia, we recommend following the Standards and Guidelines for the Health and Welfare of Horses in WA. These Standards and Guidelines were published in 2025 by The Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development (DPIRD), with input from RSPCA WA. View the Standards & Guidelines Why the Standards & Guidelines matter The WA Horse Care and Welfare Standards and Guidelines: Reflect current best practice in horse care and management Provide guidance on meeting horses' physical and behavioural needs Support responsible ownership and early intervention where problems arise Promote practical, achievable welfare outcomes The Standards are designed to support horse owners and carers across a range of settings including private properties, agistment facilities, riding schools and equestrian organisations. View the Standards & Guidelines FAQs More horse care information Visit the RSPCA Knowledgebase for more information on caring for recreational horses. You’ll find additional resources on this page in the future to support horse owners and carers across Western Australia.
