Who we are

The horse crisis in the UK, peaked around 2014 as a result of massive over-breeding of low value animals. Supply vastly exceeded demand.

Subsequently, there was a huge spike in the number of abandoned, starved and diseased horses and ponies in need of urgent help. This devastating situation provided the catalyst for uniting a unique, like-minded group of people, under the Here4Horses banner.

Many of the original team had been working together in welfare for well over a decade. A great deal of personal time, effort and money had been spent to support horses and ponies in need. It had become part of our culture.

So, following more than a year of careful planning and initial fund-raising, we successfully registered as a charity in May 2020.

Horse welfare issues are however, not just about helping emaciated, near-death animals, return to health. The 21st century brings with it many challenges and we try to shed light on the numerous forms of horse abuse that sadly continue to exist.

Whilst we hope to always be here to help individual animals in need whenever possible, we increasingly find ourselves running a wide range of educational initiatives too.

We believe that by spreading knowledge widely, we will help bring about the change needed to 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.
