Our Mission
A Locally Based, National Movement
People Helping Horses is a locally-based, nationally recognized 501(c)3
Non-Profit organization dedicated to 
improving human-horse relationships
through Education, Rehabilitation, and Support for both Horse-Owners and
Professionals. We have organizations across the country enabling local community
resources to make the greatest possible impact. The People Helping Horses
system will eventually include community-based organizations in every state
in the United States. Each operating as an independent, separately incorporated
non-profit, and governed by local volunteers.
As the equine community leaders, People Helping Horses brings caring people together to focus on the most important equestrian needs in the local area and mobilize resources beyond the dollars that are pledged through fund-raising.
We do this by building partnerships, gaining consensus, and leveraging resources
to make a difference. Focus areas are identified at the local level and vary
from community to community.
Local partners include schools, government policy makers, businesses, humane societies, rescue and rehabilitation groups, 4-H and FFA, equine education organizations, and more.
Common focus areas include: educating children and those new to horses, strengthening horse protection regulations, promoting good stewardship of the animals and the land on which they live, therapeutic riding for those with disabilities, and caring for abused, abandoned, neglected, and other horses in need.
Where Funding Comes From
Primary funding comes from caring people like you. If we each give a little of ourselves, through a small monetary contribution, or by volunteering some of our time, we can improve the quality of life of horses in need.
