Horse care and horse keeping

Horses are highly developed mammals who feel pain in a similar way that humans do. They are sentient and are able to sense fear or panic as they have a distinct need to flee. As herd animals they need to be kept with other horses.

Each horse race has its own needs concerning its environment which a horse keeper always needs to consider. Enough room for exercise, a naturally lit, dry and spacious stable as well as the right nutrition – in order to secure the horse’s well-being an appropriate environment and care need to be provided. The animal’s well-being and its individual needs always have to be the top priority.

Why protecting horses?

A lot has changed in animal law over the past few years; in many countries there are laws describing certain rules for species-appropriate animal keeping. But sadly, violations of animal / horse protection laws happen on a regular basis and cases of horse mistreat are anything but rare. Neglect, abuse, illegal trade – in order to save horses from such distress, action needs to be taken.

Fortunately, horse rescue centers, exclusively founded for horse protection and conservation, dedicate themselves to the animals' fate, offer them a safe haven, provide for care and rehabilitation and, later on, try to find a loving new home for them. Become a horse rehabilitation volunteer and support these fantastic shelter institutions!
