We are an international charity dedicated to caring for horses. We also campaign to change legislation and attitudes about horse welfare; our Make A Noise campaign aims to bring an end to the live long-distance transportation of horses for slaughter in Europe.

Our four recovery and rehabilitation centres, located throughout Great Britain are open to the public all year too, so you can come and meet some of our horses. World Horse Welfare, which was founded in 1927 by Ada Cole, is a charity dedicated to caring for horses. Although we have been committed to protecting horses throughout our history, we have diversified; today we focus on both direct and indirect action. The charity has 150 staff, the majority of which are based at our head office, in Norfolk, and four recovery and rehabilitation centres around the UK. In Britain, we have responsibility for roughly 1,700 horses, nearly all of which have suffered abuse or neglect, and more than 85% of which are in caring loan homes. Overseas, we train more than 100 saddlers and farriers every year who use their skills to improve the lives of local working horses and the lives of their owners.
