November 12 - 27, 2010

The little big show nobody has heard of outside Asia in the Southern part of China was a huge success and all the world citizens calling themselves Asians were at hand. It was a fabulous spectacle with a huge opening ceremony in the garden city of Guangzhou. The pearl among Asian cities was dressed in its festive flowery finest and sparkled at all of us visiting from faraway lands to participate in watching the Asian athletes.

Participants and spectators easily mingled with the locals in beautiful parks, museums and the many remarkable eateries and entertainment venues. The equestrians, whom I came to watch, had been sent to a brand new facility not far from Guanghzou in the city of Conghua along the Liuxi River. The area is known for its many hot spring spas and beautiful mountain ranges.

file:///C|/Users/Jody/Desktop/WEBSITE%20STUFF/Warmblood%20News/index.html (3 of 9) [2/17/2011 10:37:06 AM] Home

The newly completed equestrian facilities sparkled in the sunshine inviting us to experience the biggest facility in China to host international equestrian events. Much of the layout was quite adequate. The spectators, however, had to endure a long march uphill before reaching the actual stadium. I suspect that due to its newness and lack of previous influx of international visitors nobody thought of the necessity to feed the visitors. There were no food vendors anywhere to be found. However, it was possible to buy water. My Chinese fellow spectators came prepared with food. Luckily, I had come from Guanghzou with a private car and driver who waited for me the 2 miles away downhill in the parking lot and scouted out a restaurant some 10 miles away.

The equestrian events were in order of execution, , and jumping. I came to watch the jumping competition. Previously the eventing phase ended quite tragically with the death of a horse resulting in the withdrawal of the entire Iranian national team. The first part of the jumping competition consisted of the team competition where eight teams (Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Quatar, China, Taipei, Japan, Korea, and Hong Kong) with four riders each battled it out with the team from Saudi Arabia winning the gold. United Arab Emirate coached by Stanny van Peschen (an old friend of mine and former member of the Belgian Equestrian Team) winning silver and Quatar the bronze. The performances of the individual riders were quite interesting. All riders were mounted on Warmblood Sporthorses. All the were listed with origin (Studbook), age, sex and pedigree in the program lists issued to registered journalists. We also received a diagram of the beautiful jump course reflecting an Asian theme with particular reference to Guangzhou landmarks, designed by John Vallance of Australia. The highest fence was set at 1.40 m with the biggest width at the water ditch of 3.5 m, and the biggest spread was a triple bar at 2 meters. All in all the course was big and open and rather than presenting difficult questions, it required stamina from the horses.

file:///C|/Users/Jody/Desktop/WEBSITE%20STUFF/Warmblood%20News/index.html (4 of 9) [2/17/2011 10:37:06 AM] Home

All riders of Team Saudi Arabia, headed by the star of the World Equestrian Games in Kentucky, Khaled Abdulaziz AL EID on Presley Boy, came in clear followed by Team United Arab Emirate riders (the very best of whom was SH Latifa Almaktom on the chestnut SF stallion Kalaska de Semily who came in clear) with a total of 8 faults. Team Quatar finished with 8 jumping faults and one time fault in third place. The host country Team China was not lucky with the elimination of Nulahemaiti Abai plus an additional 18 faults of his team members. The qualifiers of the Individual Championship two days later numbered 18 rider/horse combinations. The countries represented were two each rider/horse combos from China, Hong Kong, Japan, Korea, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Quatar, plus Nasir Naafar from Brunei and Catherine Chew from Singapore. Three riders finished with a total of 8 faults in the two round competition. Chew from Singapore is a very good rider but was exceedingly unlucky on the day. The same applies to Shao Man Chen from Taipei mounted on a Holsteiner gelding as well as Ahmad Saber Hamcho from Syria on Wonderboy.

After two rounds the riders in contention were Al Eid (KSA) on Presley Boy, Al Duhami (KSA) on Bayard V, and Latifa Almaktom (UAE) on Kalaska de Semily who all went clear.

The first in the jump-off was Al Eid the experienced rider and horse who rode in confident and calm. I was sitting in the stands wondering at the grueling long course for the jump- off, clearly a challenge for the riders, not in difficulty again but in stamina. All the horses had been tackling this long course for many rounds and they were tired. Needless to say, at a simple vertical jump, Presley Boy hit the rail, obviously exhausted. His rider, surprised, looked back in disbelief and oops, the next rail fell. He finished the jump-off round with 8 faults. Second to go was Al Duhami on Bayard V, a very smooth and experienced team often seen on the European circuit. The team sails over the jumps confidently but OH NO he was a bit too confident and they too saw a rail tumble. However he finished with 4 faults ahead of Al Eid. The final competitor enters the ring, her horse the quick and light- file:///C|/Users/Jody/Desktop/WEBSITE%20STUFF/Warmblood%20News/index.html (5 of 9) [2/17/2011 10:37:06 AM] Home footed Kalaska de Semily, catlike and efficient, jumps ears forward. Then after jump 4 hesitates and they struggle together. Oh what luck, they cleared the rail. The team easily sailed over the final jump leaving all rails standing. A CLEAR round! The Gold Medal was well deserved for the cool and elegant team of Latifa Almaktom and her SF stallion Kalaska de Semily.

The party can begin! I start my march back down the 2 miles to meet with my driver and the ride ‘back home’ to Guangzhou who’s dressed for the fireworks and festivities of Closing Ceremonies, a spectacular event long to be remembered in Asia.

See you at the next Asian Games.

McLain Ward and Sapphire Win Richest Grand Prix in History

The day of the Pfizer $1 Million Grand Prix finally arrived on September 12, 2010. Throngs of people streamed through the gate at HITS in Saugerties, New York.

All year the riders competed for a chance at the big Pfizer Jackpot. When the dust settled the final group of contestants was quite a great spectrum of new and old. We were quite thrilled to see so many very young riders who had qualified for the big event.

The final number of contestants was 43 riders from 5 countries Jessica Springsteen negotiates the triple jump who were the ‘gladiators’ vying for glory. The two youngest on Vornado with no faults. fearless contestants were Katie Dinan, age 17, with her great horse Amoroso and Jessica Springsteen, 18 years of age, who proved to be a great combatant with her horse Vornado. She was among the top finishers with only 8 faults.

We saw veterans like Anne Kursinski, Peter Leone and Margie Engel hit and miss while negotiating the interesting and challenging course designed by Steve Stephens. The New Zealander Duncan McFarlane on his 10-year-old stallion Mr Whoopy was one of the few who came through the course with only 4 faults. The British rider Helen McNaught and her gelding Caballo joined the ranks of 8 fault finishers. It should be mentioned that she mastered the water ditch with great panache. Of the Canadian contestants it was Jill Henselwood and her horse Bottom Line who we were cheering on in the bleachers because we thought she had given us the third clear round but alas, announcer Peter Doubleday informed us one rail had tumbled, and our Canadian neighbor joined the ranks of the four faulters.

Two lone heroes were left. One young man with great courage file:///C|/Users/Jody/Desktop/WEBSITE%20STUFF/Warmblood%20News/index.html (7 of 9) [2/17/2011 10:37:06 AM] Home and patience was the first one to clear the formidable course with zero faults and no time penalties with his lovely mare Athena. The crowd roared and cheered for the Charlie Jayne from Chicago. Then came the International Matador of World Parcours, McLain Ward, with his incomparable mare Sapphire. With great expertise and ultimate coolness the two showed the rest of the world how it's done. To our surprise and delight, the two leading guys did it with the help of two leading ladies Athena and Sapphire, shimmering jewels in the firmament of equine athletes.

Now that there were two clear rounds who would outdo the other to walk away with the top prize of $350,000? The suspense was electric. Naturally the first one to try his best with Athena was Charlie Jayne. Ah, but the the suspense got the better of him and although his Athena tried her very best to stay on her feet (for which she must be congratulated and get all the carrots she wants) Charlie knocked down one fence to finish with 4 faults. Needless to say the cool McLain Ward and his leading lady Sapphire took the next zero fault round in stride and smiled for the cameras. A check of $350,000.00 buys plenty of oats for her.

It was a great show and Tom Struzzieri and his team did a fabulous job. We are waiting anxiously for what he has in store for us next year. See you then.

From the Salt Block Gazette, December 2009

file:///C|/Users/Jody/Desktop/WEBSITE%20STUFF/Warmblood%20News/features.html (1 of 21) [2/17/2011 10:37:27 AM] Features Sport have come increasingly popular in the U.S. and Canada, as more small adults recognize the potential for the diminutive mounts in a variety of disciplines. Some ponies have even proven successful at high levels, including the Olympic Games. From dressage to driving, eventing and jumping, the sportpony is catching on. In direct response to the surge in popularity of these ponies, the NorthAmerican Sportpony Registry (NASPR) was founded in 1997 to create a distinctly North American sportpony out of the many breeds and their crosses. The NASPR provided structure and established standards and procedures for improving this sportpony breed. Since the registry’s inception, the number of quality ponies in North American has skyrocketed, and the NASPR assists breeders with documentation, grading, and promotion.

Standards According to the NASPR, North American sportponies do not represent distinct breeds, but rather a new type of sportpony breed. The goal is to produce a well-balanced, athletic pony with round, groundcovering strides and natural, elastic movements. Breeders seek to produce a bold pony of even, willing temperament that is physically and mentally able to perform with excellence at all levels of the modern sportpony disciplines.

A NorthAmerican sport pony is a pony in the general range of 13.2-14.2 hands that looks and moves like a small horse, capable of competing in the Olympic disciplines of jumping, dressage, and eventing, as well as in driving and hunter divisions. It is not the traditional Thelwell cartoon-type of pony, but rather is much more athletic and horse-like in appearance and ability. Sportponies are comprised of most pony breeds as well as bloodlines, however ponies with draft blood are excluded. The sportpony is an easy keeper, good natured, ready and willing, courageous and intelligent. All colors are accepted and conformation is marked by a small, regal head with kind eyes and small ears. The neck is long, wide and well set with narrowing towards the poll with good room in the throatlatch. The ideal sportpony body should be refined, but athletic, and slender through the girth, with a longer croup that slopes slightly and tail set at medium height. The limbs are correctly aligned with dry, flat knees and dense medium-sized hooves.

Movement is paramount to the quality NorthAmerican sportpony, and that movement should have great suspension, articulation, impulsion and extension. A large stride with correct cadence is ideal. In the hunter division, it does strive for the traditional “daisy-cutter”, flat-kneed movement that is so popular in the hunter ring today and is not excluded as a factor within the NorthAmerican Sportpony Registry. Therefore, the “hunter-type” pony, especially one which excels in jumping and has the correct conformation, “look”, and cadence can be considered a NorthAmerican Sportpony.

file:///C|/Users/Jody/Desktop/WEBSITE%20STUFF/Warmblood%20News/features.html (2 of 21) [2/17/2011 10:37:27 AM] Features All ponies accepted into the registry must undergo an inspection and be DNA-typed. It is in this way that pedigrees can be documented from this point forward, even with breeding stock that is currently of unknown parentage. Stallions accepted into the registry undergo additional performance and progeny requirements. Promotion Throughout the year, the NorthAmerican Sportpony Registry organizes inspections throughout the United States and Canada. The ponies are graded on temperament, conformation, gaits and athletic ability to perform as sport ponies.

The NASPR actively supports its members by sponsorship of many events including the Sportpony Star Search Challenge Cup held at the Royal Winter Fair Horse Show in Toronto, Canada, Young Breeder’s Seminars, and awards programs for competitors including the only registry-sponsored Hunter Awards program for sportponies worldwide. For more information visit the NorthAmerican Sportpony Registry at www.northamericansportponies.com.

The Laurels at Landhope International Event

Several NASPR members and their ponies competed in the The Laurels at Landhope International CDE including Laura DeFazio and Victoria's Secret. Competing in the Intermediate Single Horse division, the pair finished 1st in Dressage, 7th in the Marathon, and 2nd in the Cones earning them a third place finish overall. Laura has been a member of the NASPR since 2007. Also, Congratulations and best wishes on their continued success!

From the beginning Sabrina was a tribute to her maternal lineage. She was a reliable producer of First Premium and Premier offspring throughout her breeding career. Her 2010 filly Waldina WF (by Waldaire) scored a 9.0 at her foal inspection and delights us all with her strong resemblance to her dam, granddam and great granddam.

From Alison Plumbtree Sharon, Ontario, Canada:

I just wanted to send in some pictures of USA Railside Roger That! (owned by Darlene Morton) for the Warmblood News.

Roger was very well behaved at a Welsh Pony and Sport Pony show held on June 26th and 27th at the Royal Riding Academy in Newmarket. He won all of his driving classes, won the North American Sport Pony Dressage Suitability Under Saddle class, won his 3 and over gelding class and was overall Reserve Champion! We have qualified for the Royal Winter Fair in November and can't wait to represent such a great registry that will let adults ride and show off their amazing ponies!

We took Roger to his first across borders show in July to Michigan to compete in the Metamora Pleasure driving show. Roger is a 4 year old Section C cob and he was only broke to drive in April. Though he is very quiet I wasn't too sure how he would act at such a large and busy show. I have only driven a handful of times myself, so I entered us in the Novice driver division. The first day was a fun day as it didn't count towards overall division points. It was a combined dressage test followed directly by a course of 20 cones. I was very happy with our dressage test (we even had a 9 for our back up!), being my first and his first driven dressage test ever. I knocked down 3 balls (all my fault of course!) and we were 6th overall out of 12 horses and ponies. The next day we had our Reinsmanship class where I received a 3rd place. I then had a Ladies to Drive class which 8 horses and ponies entered. We were 3rd and I was very proud of Roger as he took everything in stride! I had a cones class right after a file:///C|/Users/Jody/Desktop/WEBSITE%20STUFF/Warmblood%20News/features.html (9 of 21) [2/17/2011 10:37:27 AM] Features ring class and we were the fastest and we went clean so we won our class! Later that evening I had a Cross Country Pace class and we came in 2nd. The last day I had our Turnout class which we won. We then had another cones class which we won yet again! The last class of the day was our Working class. Roger was very tired after his busy last two days, not to mention the 100F weather! We came 3rd in the working class and we were overall Novice Driver Champion!

Needless to say I was very proud of Roger for his first really big show!

From Alison Plumbtree and Ray Morton of Sharon, Ontario, Canada:

Hi again,

This time I thought I would write about the pair Morton's Royal Doulton and Morton's Bentley.

This past August we competed at the Iron Horse CDE in Illinois with our pair of prelim ponies Morton's Royal Douton and Morton's Bentley. Ray had a nice dressage test and was in third place out of six pair of ponies. Ray was fast on marathon day and had the fastest time in 4 out of the 5 obstacles and won the marathon which put him up to 2nd place only 2 points behind 1st place. When warming up for his cones class we heard a terrible clunking sound. They were just about to call us into file:///C|/Users/Jody/Desktop/WEBSITE%20STUFF/Warmblood%20News/features.html (10 of 21) [2/17/2011 10:37:27 AM] Features the ring and we broke our back spring! I took the reins and Ray checked out the damage and decided that it wasn't as bad as we first thought. He grabbed our handy electrical tape that we always keep in the back of the carriage and taped up the spring. Ray put in a double clear round in cones (only a few were able to do this) with a broken carriage! The pair that was in first knocked a few balls down and had time faults. Ray won his class by over 20 points!

From Ellie Rawle of Oxford, PA:

"Our stallion Avebury WF has been moving steadily up the ranks in eventing this spring! He is currently competing at Training Level under the tutelage of Ryan Wood (www.woodstockeventing.com). This exciting pair graced the cover of Today Magazine with an interview with Ryan, Jody Jackson and Anne Rawle (Avebury's owner & breeder) that touched on the stallion approval process and our pride in the generational aspect of our American Warmbloods. To date, Avebury has 0 penalties in the cross country portion of his competitions and dressage scores in the 30's. " "We have been the proud owners of Waldaire (Waldgott-Adios III-Darling) since the spring of 2004 and each year are blessed with the arrival of more exceptional youngsters. At the end of April, we were quite excited to have welcomed 2 outstanding Waldaire fillies - Windrose WF and Waverleigh WF are correct, uphill movers with loads of personality. It is a thrill to have so many horses to ride each day that are just plain FUN! His offspring really do make each ride enjoyable and we are quite excited to see what his licensed son Wizard WF produces next year. Wizard has drawn many compliments from international competitors on his talent, scope and good temperament, so it goes without saying that we are delighted!" file:///C|/Users/Jody/Desktop/WEBSITE%20STUFF/Warmblood%20News/features.html (14 of 21) [2/17/2011 10:37:27 AM] Features "As You Wish WF also continues to demonstrate a similar aptitude for eventing - even with Ellie in the irons! They have been sighted blazing around several Training courses with skill and speed. Both horses will compete at Training through the end of May with an eye towards Preliminary later in the season.

Watermark Farm will be shifting the competitive focus to our dressage horses and youngstock for a few months with eventing returning to the limelight for the late summer/early fall. As always, we are proud to be hosting the AWR/ NASPR inspection on July 10th. It is always a great day with many lovely young horses to see and even more to learn from our knowledgeable judges."

From Sally Bank of North Park Equestrian:

"I thought I would touch base with you to let you know how things are going with our lovely boy Doringcourt.

We had a great first official breeding season this year with him and are really looking forward to seeing his foals on the ground starting to be born November onwards.

His first three foals are lovely from last season and we were lucky enough to get a beautiful colt who we have named NPE Delrico.

"As You Wish was 7th at the February Sporting Days Farm Horse Trials in Open Novice."

From Mary Barrett of Westminster, MA:

At the Ten Broeck Farm Breed Show in Pepperell, MA, my NASPR First Premium Premier filly TLF Macarena placed third with a score of 72.8 in the USDF Prospects in hand Fillies of 2010 class. The judge was Christian Schacht. At the Brookside Equestrian Center Breed Show TLF Macarena placed 2nd in USDF Prospects in hand Fillies of 2010 class with a score of 72.3 and placed 1st in the NorthAmerican Sport Pony IBC class, with a score of 74.4. The judge was Gerd Zuther.

TLF Rockstar was third in the USDF Prospects in Hand Fillies of 2010, with a score of 70.5, and in the NorthAmerican Sport Pony IBC class she placed second with a score of 69.9.

The best part was that the audience adored them. I was happy to see a few other ponies at this show, usually we are the only ones. I was also very pleased that the girls placed so well against the horses. They were not penalized for their size.

From Jessica McKnew of Maryland:

“Dear NorthAmerican Sportpony Registry, I would like to thank you for the Award, Gift Bag and Jacket. I have been riding since I was 3 1/2 years old. With my parents help I purchased my new NorthAmerican Sportpony, Double Copper Twist LG, in April of 2008. She is the most wonderful pony. In 2009 we competed all over and did great. She is such a fantastic pony. I have never won anything like this before. It was so exciting to get an Award and Gifts for something I love to do. Copper just had her baby so in a few months we will be able to start completing again. Thank you so much for everything!” Double Copper Twist LG & Picasso

Fox Run Farm Lynn Reed

Lynn Reed was raised in Garrison, New York and rode as a junior through the pony hunter ranks to junior hunter in the Medal & Maclay Divisions. She trained as a junior with Bob Freels, Tina Stephenson, Anthony D’ambrosio and Leslie Burr Howard. As an amateur she rode several horses to national championship titles riding with Gary Zook, Frank Madden, Jimmy Toon, and Don Stewart. As the ability to find nice horses at reasonable prices became more and more difficult Lynn went to Europe and bought Shamrock, Spellbound’s father, to train, show and start her own hunter breeding program. Spellbound is the result of careful breeding and old time practical horse knowledge learned from keeping her own horses at home and learning to train from the ground up. Lynn’s whole business concept is to breed hunters in the United States mixing European jumping lines with the refinement and elegance of the American Thoroughbred resulting in a premier show horse that you don’t have to go to Europe to find. Spellbound was bred and trained by Lynn. The farm specializes in breeding, breaking, and training young horses. Even though Spellbound will be predominantly showing in the hunter ring, he can cross over to both jumper and dressage. His grandsire, whose jumping style he replicates, was a world class jumper who has thrown dynamic dressage horses. Cartina is one of the most influential Holsteiner stallions of the modern era. His granddam is from the line of the legendary stallion Lord. On his Thoroughbred side he has the blood of Stalwart xx, Hoist the Flag xx, War Admiral xx, and Bold Ruler xx. The result is a modern, elegant athletic stallion with great jump and explosive movement. Spellbound has won multiple championships, 6 blue ribbons, 4 2nd place ribbons, and multiple other placings at the elite USEF horse show circuit “Hits on the Hudson” over this past summer. He showed in the highly competitive pre-green hunter divisions sometimes with 67 horses in his classes from all over the country.

file:///C|/Users/Jody/Desktop/WEBSITE%20STUFF/Warmblood%20News/features.html (20 of 21) [2/17/2011 10:37:27 AM] Features Spellbound is still handled and trained by Lynn along with his siblings and other young prospects. He continues to exude confidence but maintains a playful personality and handles the pressure of breeding, training and showing in a calm professional manner. He will be competing this coming 2010 show season in the 1st Year Green 3’6” confirmation divisions. He has been nominated to the USHJA Hunter Breeding Incentive Fund. It has been a culmination of a lifetime of work and dreams to be able to breed Spellbound, own him, train him, stand him to stud, and see him show. He never lets me down. ~Lynn

AHC’s Welfare Code of Practice Continues to Garner Support

The AHC’s National Welfare Code of Practice continues to garner support from the horse community. The Welfare Code outlines in generic terms what it means for an organization to be committed to the responsible breeding, training, care, use, enjoyment, transport, and retirement of horses. Many associations have undertaken studies, reviews, and initiatives that show their commitment to the welfare of their horses. This generic code is simply a continuation of that effort.

The latest groups to support the National Welfare Code include the Arabian Horse Association, Florida Thoroughbred Breeder’s and Owner’s Association, League of Agricultural and Equine Centers, Master of Foxhounds Association, Pinto Horse Association of America, The Pyramid Society, U.S. Dressage Federation, and U.S. Equestrian Drill Team.

They join ten other national groups that have already endorsed the Welfare Code. They include the: American Association of Equine Practitioners, American Endurance Ride Conference, Association, Association, Kentucky Thoroughbred Association, National Cutting Horse Association, National Thoroughbred Racing Association, Thoroughbred file:///C|/Users/Jody/Desktop/WEBSITE%20STUFF/Warmblood%20News/amerhorsecouncil.html (1 of 4) [2/17/2011 10:37:41 AM] American Horse Council Owners and Breeders Association, U.S. Equestrian Federation, and U.S. Trotting Association.

“We are pleased with the positive feedback and continued interest we have received from a broad spectrum of equine organizations since the Welfare Code of Practice was announced this past November,” said AHC President Jay Hickey. “This latest round of endorsements further demonstrates to the public the industry’s unified commitment to the welfare and safety of horses, and we hope to build upon this momentum to bring in as many organizations as possible to further reinforce the industry’s commitment to safety, health, care and welfare of all horses.”

The Code is not intended to replace or pre-empt any activities, rules, or regulations specific to any segment of the industry. Rather it is another indication to the public, the media, federal and state officials, and the horse community that the equine industry “Puts the Horse First.”

Unwanted Horse Coalition Launches New Resources Section on Website

file:///C|/Users/Jody/Desktop/WEBSITE%20STUFF/Warmblood%20News/amerhorsecouncil.html (2 of 4) [2/17/2011 10:37:41 AM] American Horse Council Washington, DC – April 27, 2010. The Unwanted Horse Coalition (UHC) announces the launch of an additional resources page on the UHC’s website. This new page, entitled Additional Resources, gives horse owners and horse care facilities a bank of informative websites they can utilize in many different situations when dealing with unwanted horses or poor financial situations.

The new resources page will help aid in the UHC’s mission in educating horse owners on owning responsibly. Sections with links to useful programs such as haybanks and feedbanks, vaccination, gelding and euthanasia clinics are included, as well as sites on equine welfare grants. These links will provide valuable information, which will prove beneficial to horse owners and horse care facilities and in turn, will help many horses in need. The new page can be found under the already existing resources section, under Additional Resources at the UHC website: www.unwantedhorsecoalition. org.

“With many horse owners and horse care facilities in difficult financial situations, the UHC found creating an additional resources page with links to important programs, clinics, and grant sites to be a top priority, “said Ericka Caslin, director of the UHC. “The UHC receives many daily calls and e- mails with questions about programs, grants, vaccinations clinics, and haybanks. We felt that compiling a list of sites and links with important information for people to use and pass along would be extremely advantageous.”

Additional Resources will be updated regularly with new sites as options become available. If you have a site you feel would be a significant addition to the new section, please e-mail it to Ericka Caslin, UHC Director, at [email protected]. For more information about the Unwanted Horse Coalition, its goals and its missions, please call 202-296-4031 or visit www. unwantedhorsecoalition.org.

The Unwanted Horse Coalition

The mission of the Unwanted Horse Coalition is to reduce the number of unwanted horses and improve their welfare through education and the efforts of organizations committed to the health, safety and responsible care and disposition of these horses. The UHC grew out of the Unwanted Horse Summit, which was organized by the American Association of Equine Practitioners and held in conjunction with the American Horse Council’s annual meeting in Washington, D.C., in April 2005. The summit was held to bring key stakeholders together to start a dialogue on the unwanted horse in America. Its purpose was to develop consensus on the most effective way to work together to address the issue. In June 2006, the UHC was folded into the AHC and now operates under its auspices.
