Quest Equine Welfare Inc.

'Quest' was established by the founders of equine welfare association, 'Triple R Equine Welfare', with the support of many of the long term members, supporters, and sponsors of T.R.E.W.

Prior to incorporating T.R.E.W. in 2007, Jaimee Henderson, Rebecca Atkins, and Tony Di Grande had spent a number of years working within the equine welfare field, which included the hands-on  rescue, rehabilitation, and subsequent re-homing of many equines. (You can see the stories of many of these horses and ponies in the Case Stories section). These three founding members had each had lifetime associations within various fields of the horse industry, which included competition and breeding.

The inception of the change of focus for these individuals, to concentrate on the welfare of equines, was triggered by a key event which occurred one day, and one little horse. You can read more about this little horse, the  catalyst for  the groups welfare work, on Scruffy's page.

Following the 'formalising' of the organisation by way of incorporation as a not for profit association, the group continued to accept horses for care and rehabilitation, and Rebecca worked on many projects under the T.R..E.W. banner in the capacity of President. During that time, T.R.E.W. continued to develop, and some great outcomes were achieved, including a phenomenal effort made by the entire T.R.E.W. Committee during the Victorian Black Saturday fires of 2009.

Now under the banner of 'Quest Equine Welfare Inc.', the crew continue to strive to make a meaningful difference in the lives of as many equines as they can reach, through hands-on rescue and rehabilitation of horses and donkeys, raising awareness of equine welfare issues, education, and through the organisation's newly established, Australia-wide, 'Quest Equine Welfare Network'.

Quest is very proud of the history, outcomes, and track record which has led to the current day, and is committed to continually building on the scope and capabilities of the organisation to assist horses, ponies, and donkeys in need.
