Our Mission
Through industry collaboration, the UHC promotes education and options for at-risk and transitioning horses.
The United Horse Coalition (UHC) focuses on the underlying causes, including welfare concerns, that put horses at risk or in need of responsible rehoming options.
We provide owners and the equine community with education, resources, and referrals to help them navigate challenges before they escalate into a crisis.

The United Horse Coalition is a broad alliance of equine organizations that have joined together under the American Horse Council to educate the horse industry about the issues facing horses At-Risk, or in transition. We seek to provide information for existing and prospective owners, breeders, sellers, and horse organizations regarding the long-term responsibilities of owning and caring for horses, as well as focusing on the opportunities available for these horses.
