At Communities For Horses, registered charity No.1180625, we believe in a future where all horses are well cared for, and where their owners can ask for help when they need it. We recognise the value of the bond between horse and owner, and acknowledge that people may need extra support if their circumstances change. They should have access to practical advice and support geared towards ensuring their animal’s needs are met.
Our Mission
We work to improve equine welfare and relieve animal suffering by providing education and support to horse owners. We provide welfare advice, coordinate the delivery of veterinary services and offer relevant education programmes as and when required.
The tradition of horse ownership remains commonplace in different regions in the UK, despite some horse owners being marginalised. Many of the horse owners we work with are under 25 years of age and, for some, owning a horse is the only source of motivation.
What we do
We aim to provide non-judgemental support to horse owners, as well as drive positive change by giving horse owners the opportunity to learn, improve their confidence and acquire life skills. We rapidly respond to serious welfare concerns and work in collaboration with the relevant authorities to assist equines in need whenever this is required (see Working in Partnership).
Our Location
CFH currently works in South Wales, particularly in the area of Swansea. Also, we are open for consultation in other areas of the UK.
Working In Partnership
Communities For Horses advocates a strategic partnership between organisations working to improve equine welfare and supporting horse owning communities. We welcome due process and frequently collaborate with other registered charities, local authorities in both educational endeavours and practical actions to uphold the law with regards to equine registration and welfare.
