World Horse Welfare

World Horse Welfare is an international equine charity which strives to support and improve the horse-human partnership in all of its guises. Our mission is to work with horses, horse owners, communities, organisations and governments to improve welfare standards and stamp out suffering in the UK and worldwide.

Throughout our work we aim to treat the source of a problem as well as the symptoms. We believe in taking a practical approach to solving problems, focusing our efforts on what is achievable, and we recognise the importance of working in partnership with others to create sustainable, lasting change.

With four Rescue and Rehoming Centres – in Aberdeenshire, Lancashire, Norfolk and Somerset – World Horse Welfare runs the UK’s largest equine rescue and rehoming scheme. On average, we take in over 300 horses and ponies each year and find loving new homes for around 300 horses who have completed their rehabilitation.
