World Horse Welfare
|
About
World Horse Welfare are an international horse charity that improves the lives of horses in the UK and around the world through education, campaigning and hands-on care. When founder Ada Cole witnessed a procession of work-worn British horses unloaded at the docks of Antwerp and whipped for four miles to slaughter, she was determined to stop the appalling cruelty of these journeys. Ten years later the campaign succeeded and 85 years on World Horse Welfare is still driven by the same desire to stop unnecessary suffering, using a practical approach and scientific evidence to deliver lasting change across the full spectrum of the horse world. We have previously arranged visits to Penny Farm near Blackpool and we are hoping to arrange another visit in 2018. If you would be interested in joining us please let us know so we can arrange a date that suits as many people as possible. |
