Our Mission:
Through industry collaboration, the UHC promotes education and options for at-risk and transitioning horses.
Owning Responsibly:
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.

The UHC exists thanks to supporters like you. Your financial contribution is critical to helping us continue our mission.
