World Horse Welfare is an international horse charity that improves the lives of horses in the UK and worldwide through education, campaigning and hands-on care of horses. Since we were founded in 1927 our whole approach has been practical, based on scientific evidence and our extensive experience, and focused on delivering lasting change across the full spectrum of the horse world. In the UK our network of Field Officers investigate and resolve welfare problems, and we run four Rescue and Rehoming Centres where equines in need can receive specialist care, undergo rehabilitation and find new homes through our rehoming scheme – the largest of its kind in the UK. Our international programmes alleviate the suffering of thousands of working equids by providing essential knowledge for horse owning communities in low- and middle-income countries. We also work to change legislation and attitudes to horse welfare through campaigns and education, including our founding campaign to end the long-distance transport of horses to slaughter in Europe. We support the responsible use of horses in sport, and are independent welfare advisers to the Fédération Equestre Internationale (FEI) and British Horseracing Authority (BHA). Your donation will help us to continue our work to help horses.
