Who we are

The decade-long horse crisis in the UK saw massive over-breeding of low value animals and a subsequent huge spike in the number of starved, diseased, neglected and abandoned horses and ponies needing urgent help from charities.

This devastating period became the catalyst for bringing a unique, like-minded team together under the Here4Horses banner. These remarkable people had already invested a great deal of time, effort and money to horse and pony welfare – this is part of our culture.

Following more than a year of careful planning and initial fund-raising, we officially registered as a charity in May 2020 and gathered a highly skilled Board of Trustees, capable of successfully leading Here4Horses through future challenges.

Horse welfare is not just about helping emaciated, near death animals, return to health.

The 21st century brings with it many challenges for horses and ponies and we aim to shed light on the numerous forms of abuse that sadly continue to exist.

We believe we need to address these issues head on by educating, providing up-to-date information and ultimately bring about the changes needed to help secure a better life for horses and ponies everywhere.

So, say hello to the team below and if you share our beliefs and feel you want to help us deliver real results, then please donate, or lend your support in whatever way you can.
