What we do

We work across the UK with horses, horse owners, other charities, academia, the veterinary profession, sport bodies, law enforcement and government to improve welfare standards.

We improve the lives of working horses whose communities rely on them for their livelihoods.

We are here to help with any questions you might have about horses. You can call our Advice Line on +44 (0)1953 497 238 during office hours.

We help horses in need in the UK and around the world.

We work to improve welfare across the full spectrum of the equine world, including the welfare of horses involved in sport and leisure.

We help working horses who sustain livelihoods, and those used for food.

Since we were founded in 1927 we have influenced more than 50 pieces of legislation, helping to bring about better welfare provision for horses.

We believe in using scientific evidence to help guide our work. Finding the root causes of welfare problems allows us to help horses by getting to the heart of an issue.
