World Horse Welfare

World Horse Welfare, the leading international horse charity, is dedicated to promoting horse welfare worldwide. Founded in 1927, and formerly called The International League for the Protection of Horses (ILPH), the charity is committed to stamping out suffering and improving the life of horses in the UK and overseas through education, campaigns and hands-on work with horses. Unique among horse charities, World Horse Welfare actively supports the use of horses in sport and is the welfare arm of the International Equestrian Federation (FEI) and advisor to the British Horseracing Authority. In the United Kingdom, it has four Rescue and Rehoming centres and a network of full-time welfare field staff. Overseas, it provides communities with the skills and training to care for their working horses and enhance horse owners’ prospects. The charity also delivers high profile and effective international campaigns to promote the welfare of horses at home and abroad. Please visit
