What we do

We are working in sixteen countries across four continents to positively impact the welfare of working equids.

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.

We see horses’ involvement in sport as just one of many facets of our unique and evolving partnership.

World Horse Welfare aims to put working equids higher up the agenda within the development sector.

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 are here to help with any questions you might have about horses. Call our Advice Line on +44 (0)1953 497 238 on working days during office hours in the UK.
