United Horse Coalition Seeks Nominees for Unity for Horses Award

 


The United Horse Coalition (UHC) is seeking to honor an active member who has taken the initiative to work towards programs that promote responsible horse ownership and breeding or programs that support horses at risk or in transition and their owners. The Unity for Horses Award will be presented during the American Horse Council’s National Issues Forum in Washington, D.C. on June 24, 2025


This will be the third year the award is being given. The Retired Racehorse Project was UHC’s 2024 recipient. “Empowering Thoroughbred owners through education, service, and inspiration is at the core of the Retired Racehorse Project’s mission. Our work has made a marked difference in the efficiency and effectiveness of the aftercare industry in the US, and we are honored to receive the AHC’s Unity Award in recognition of our efforts,” says Kristen Green, Executive Director of the Retired Racehorse Project. UHC’s inaugural Unity Award recipient in 2023 was Days End Farm and their Maryland Equine Transition Service (METS). Days End Farm provides a perfect example of an owner assistance program using METS, utilizing a hands-on approach within the industry to ensure that owners are able to find responsible options and assistance programs when in need. Their mission supports the mission of the UHC.

 

The UHC’s Unity for Award recognizes an individual or organization that meets the following criteria:

  • An active member of the United Horse Coalition for two or more years, in good standing.
  • Taken the initiative to be involved in, and work towards programs that promote responsible ownership and breeding, and/or programs that support horses at-risk or in transition and their owners.
  • Used their industry relationships to work collaboratively to further strengthen and promote the mission of the United Horse Coalition.
