Additional Information
We work with horse owning communities to address and prevent mismanagement, cruelty and suffering of equines.
We provide equine welfare education in horse owning communities through innovative programmes for children and adults. These include vet days, training programmes, community events and children-focussed fun events.
We provide support for horse owners and concerned members of the public regarding equine welfare, including running a telephone helpline. We seek to facilitate sustainable resolutions to some of the problems faced by urban and marginalised horse owning communities, for example our community grazing project.
We work with other organisations, whether they exist to help humans or animals, to address the causes of problems in our community at the cause.
We monitor our impact to ensure that we are as effective as we can be. We share our experiences with other organisations and provide mentoring and training opportunities to those who want to learn about working in an ethical, constructive way in the community.
