SRV TOUR (STB Approval Pending)

About Equal Ark

Every year about 300 horses are put down in Singapore, usually due to old age or injury. Equal Ark rescues, supports and gives some of these horses a new lease of life by training and enabling them, in partnership with qualified instructors, to render animal-assisted learning and therapeutic activities to children, youth, elderly and families who have experienced major setbacks in life due to poverty, family breakdown, disabilities or illness such as depression, dementia and mental wellness challenges that have been aggravated by the Covid-19 pandemic.

Beneficiaries have responded remarkably well to these gentle creatures.

Show kindness to rescued horses that are now helping vulnerable people as well as support vulnerable persons by donating your SRV to the CAforGood Initiative to conduct the Equine-Assisted Experiential Learning Tours for beneficiaries.

The CAforGood SRV Initiative is a joint initiative by CAforGood, Equal Ark, The Boys Brigade and Actxplorer. We aim to organize up to 600 equine-assisted experiential learning tours over the next few months to bless as many as 12,000 needy people.

These tours offer beneficiaries the unique opportunity of learning and caring for rescued therapy horses, with the high possibility of receiving reciprocal care and help from the animals. In short, providing opportunities for beneficiaries to help animals to help them. Your donation will empower us and our animals to provide a time of fun and care for our beneficiaries through the Equine-Assisted Experiential Learning Tours.
