The Horse SA Safer Equine Refuge aims to build community capacity for bushfire preparedness, recovery, and support connectedness and resilience in times of stress and emergency. Read more about the project on the Horse SA webpage.
A purpose-built 100 yard equine refuge site is located inside the Murray Bridge Racing Club property at 342 Brinkley Rd, Murray Bridge South SA 5253.
To find out if there is room at the equine refuge at Murray Bridge Racing Club, you can contact the club via email at email@racingmurraybridge.com.au, or by telephone on 8532 2310.
Owners will need to provide water buckets and feed in containers, and everything else needed for their animals. The refuge is for equine only; sorry no other animals are allowed. The emergency yards are situated on the left side of the driveway into the Racecourse. There may be no volunteers at the site to provide support, so please be understanding.
The online booking app is no longer available from May 2025. If you have any questions about the booking platform, please submit a query to the Equine Refuge Freshdesk.
