Horses bring joy to millions of people and help make those with the deepest of wounds whole again, but tens of thousands of horses, donkeys, and mules are victims of abuse and neglect each year and there are still just under 20,000 horses being shipped across our borders for slaughter.


NO HORSE should be subjected to this inhumane fate. There are solutions within our reach for America's horses that need a lifeline. Programs providing equine-assisted therapeutic services offer endless career opportunities in addition to grass roots recreational and competitive roles for horses in transition. Horses have the amazing ability to inspire, empower and heal.

We hope to build consensus within the equine industry to embrace solutions for equines in transition other than shipping them across our borders for slaughter. At the core is the need for all horse lovers to speak up that America's horses enhance our lives and need our protection and take the pledge!
