Fact Sheets
At Here4Horses, we believe that all horses and ponies deserve kindness, respect and knowledgeable care.
The team at Here4Horses are faced with emaciated and neglected horses and ponies on a regular basis. However, there are potentially more disturbing welfare issues to be found in 21st century horse keeping – and the issues are far more widespread.
At the root of the problem is lack of knowledge – because even the most well-meaning and caring horse keeper can create a truly miserable existence for their animals, simply by failing to meet their needs.
