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.
Our Mission:
Through industry collaboration, the UHC promotes education and options for at-risk and transitioning horses.
Join the Cause Today!
Our members are the heart and soul of the United Horse Coalition, and they are the driving force behind the work we do. As a collaborative effort, it’s important that the United Horse Coalition be comprised of many different organizations that can come together as one collective voice to help at-risk horses and those in transition. We cannot support and sustain the wonderful work UHC does without its members!
