Horse Trust Charity

For almost twenty five years, The Horse Trust Charity has been working their utmost in order to ensure the welfare of horses, as well as to educate people on this topic. The oldest horse charity in the world, it has a lot of experience and has come very far in its quest to keep horses safe and well-treated.

The charity has an animal sanctuary which allows  horses, ponies and donkeys to go into retirement - around one hundred of them. This gives these animals a wonderful place to live out the rest of their days in peace, away from the neglect or abuse that they may have suffered in their lives.

Along with the National Equine Welfare Council, The Horse Trust Charity publishes the Equine Welfare Guidelines Compendium which is the industry manual on horse welfare. This has surely educated many people on how horses should be treated as well as possible. This is also used in courts and legal matters, since it underlines the minimum standards that should be given to these beautiful creatures. Not only this, but The Horse Trust Charity also helps with the RSPCA locally in order to assist in the re-homing of horses.

Over the years, The Horse Trust Charity has given nearly six million pounds to veterinary institutions and schools around the country. This is wonderful because it gives these institutions an incentive to live up to the best of their ability, and also aids them in educating about the welfare of horses. Also, the charity accepts applications for scientific research projects, which go through a screening process in order to ensure that they are in no way harmful. Then, if approved, the charity gives grants in order to assist research. This is superb because it helps us move on in terms of learning more about conditions and horse ailments and illnesses, thus hopefully being in a better position to overcome them in the future.

With so much experience under its belt, and with so many ways in which this charity aims to help horses in need, it is no wonder that many people are keen to help them out in their mission to help horses everywhere.
