The EQUUS Foundation is the only national animal welfare charity 100% dedicated to protecting America’s horses from peril and strengthening the horse-human bond.

Horses bring joy to millions of people, and help make those with the deepest of wounds whole again, but tens of thousands of horses are victims of abuse and neglect each year.

NO HORSE should be subjected to this inhumane fate that awaits them – especially because there are solutions within our reach.

Our goal is to ensure that all horses are able to naturally transition from one chapter to the next without risk of abuse, neglect and slaughter and that all horses involved in any role and in any capacity – as athletes, companions, teachers and healers – are treated with dignity as partners and not as commodities.
