The Unwanted Horse Coalition has teamed up with several equine organizations including The Right Horse Initiative, the American Association for Equine Practitioners, and the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals to form an alliance to gather information and data as it relates to equine welfare. This project is critical to understanding the current state of the equine welfare segment and how the industry as a whole can continue to help horses in transition. Funding for this new project will support the dissemination of surveys and various data gathering tools, oversee input of the data into the database, manage the data in terms of upkeep and integrity, as well as be able to effectively coordinate and communicate equine welfare information to the team and alliance.
