World Horse Welfare

World Horse Welfare Every day thousands of horses suffer. Some are transported in horrific conditions to slaughter, some are worked until they drop by poverty-stricken owners abroad, and some suffer abuse or neglect in the UK.

World Horse Welfare is a leading international horse charity dedicated to caring for the horses of today and tomorrow. Our values are based on a compassionate and pragmatic approach to improving the welfare of horses worldwide.

We help the horses of today by rescuing, rehabilitating and rehoming horses in the UK and by providing veterinary care to horses in Mexico. We help the horses of tomorrow by campaigning, training and educating people around the world.

No other organisation does more for horses than World Horse Welfare.

Adopt a Horse

The Adopt a Horse scheme www.worldhorsewelfare.org/adopt-a-horse is a great way to help our staff care for a chosen horse at one of our four UK recovery and rehabilitation centres.
 
Simply select the horse you would like to adopt and you will receive:

 

  • A pack about your chosen horse, including: a DVD, colour photo, pin badge, notebook and recent seasonal updates from the grooms and centre manager;
  • Four exclusive updates each year, giving a unique insight into your horse’s progress;
  • The chance to visit your adopted horse during farm open days.


The Adopt a Horse scheme costs just £5 per month and is a great way to give a horse the second chance in life it deserves.
 
Find out more about our adoption horses: Spencer, Homer, Zeam and Starsky.

Horse Loan Scheme www.worldhorsewelfare.org/hls

Horses come into World Horse Welfare’s recovery and rehabilitation centres for a variety of reasons, but they will all require some form of rehabilitation. Some will simply need appropriate feeding and TLC to bring them back to health; others will need months of specialist treatment.

Once our horses have been fully rehabilitated, they are assessed to identify which type of work they are suited to, before being rehomed through our Horse Loan Scheme. There are around 1,700 World Horse Welfare horses on loan, as everything from non-ridden companions to high-level competition horses.

When a horse is ready to be rehomed, its details are added to the Horse Loan Scheme pages of our website www.worldhorsewelfare.org/hls so that potential borrowers can find out more about each horse and the type of work it can do.

If you are interested in taking a horse on loan and would like more information, please visit www.worldhorsewelfare.org/hls or call our Loan Scheme adviser on 01953 497238.
