HORSE WELFARE
Nothing promotes equine well-being more than humans learning to communicate with horses in a way horses understand naturally. We fund education initiatives for horse rescue centers that improve the welfare of the horse and increase adoptability. We also support showmanship and competition when performed using Relationship-Based Horsemanship principles. Rescue center education raises awareness of how Relationship-Based Horsemanship can help rescued horses have a future.
