World Horse Welfare and five other major welfare charities in Britain are grappling with a horse crisis with thousands of horses at risk of abandonment and neglect, and needing homes. We have called for the public and the government to help.
We were delighted that the Control of Horses Act 2015 was passed by parliament, becoming law on 26 May 2015. However, this is only one step in our campaign to end the horse crisis. Find out more about the Act here.
You can help these horses by rehoming a horse from a welfare charity to make space for one that will need help over the winter. If you can offer a good home to a horse or pony, please view our wonderful horses and ponies available now.
If you already have horses, you can help by doing your best to keep on top of your own situation, and contacting welfare charities for advice if you start to struggle.
