We have a number of junior and senior positions available at our Mornington Peninsula location and would love to hear from you. Horse experience is valued but not necessary. Click here to speak with us today.
Alisha Griffiths
Founder
Alisha Griffiths, a born horsewoman, destined to live and work with horses is the founder of Rehab4Rehab. Rehab4Rehab was an idea stemmed from Alisha’s strong need to help retired racehorses, where she could offer them a home and a new life post racing.
Robert Pitts
Rob has been involved with Rehab4Rehab since it was founded, and brings to the table over 30 years of experience in establishing and scaling major organisations.
Why we’re doing this?
Rehab4Rehab was established to respond to the needs of our community and blend together equine and human health services with a powerful formula.
Located on the Mornington Peninusla at the home of Red Hill Equestrian, Rehab4Rehab offers an inclusive approach to the health and education of children and the health and education of retired racehorses.
Focusing on children with mental health issues /disengaged youth & retired racehorses, the Rehab4Rehab programs include working with horses in delivering their care, ground skills, training and mounted therapy.
“It is becoming increasingly accepted that horses assist children when included in therapeutic programs. Rehab4Rehab works with and will continue to expand our resources of therapists with in-depth equine facilitated therapy experience.”
Working on a planned collaboration with Monash University, we can research outcomes in Equine Assisted Therapy as evidence-based practice. Should it be confirmed as more successful than traditional therapy, we can train more horses and more therapists to make this available to thousands of children and retired thoroughbreds in need.
