Active programmes through which the Trust discharges its mandate — quietly, methodically, and with the welfare of the horse held paramount. The Trustees are internationally based, with members across India, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, and the United States.
Should you witness the neglect, mistreatment, or distress of an equine within the United Kingdom, you may submit a confidential report. All intake is reviewed by the Trust's welfare officer within 48 hours. Anonymity is honoured without exception.
The horse, having given much in service and sport, is owed a retirement of dignity and quiet care. Too often, the close of an athletic career marks the beginning of neglect — a quiet attrition that goes unobserved.
This programme exists to ensure that those who have given their working lives to the field are afforded the attention, sanctuary, and considered care that their service warrants.
Indigenous horse breeds are living records of geography, climate, and culture — shaped over centuries by the lands and the people who kept them. Their decline is not merely a loss of animals, but of inheritance.
This programme works to safeguard that inheritance: to ensure that breeds long entwined with regional life are not allowed to quietly disappear from the landscapes they have always belonged to.
