Improving the
welfare of horses

Our Mission and Purpose

We are here for the horse.

For more than 25 years, The Foundation has advanced care and compassion through Disaster Relief, Veterinary Projects in developing countries, Veterinary Scholarships, and Equine Research.

Founded in 1994, The Foundation for the Horse is the charitable arm of the American Association of Equine Practitioners. Our mission to improve the health and welfare of horses is supported by the expertise of many world-renowned caregivers and researchers, unequaled in their ability to identify the needs of the equine and the most critical health concerns facing the equine population.

The Foundation was created around the idea of uniting everyone who is dedicated to improving horse health and well-being. Today, we are a dynamic organization focused on delivering relevant research, education, and outreach to the equine industry.

Please join us as we strive to bring our vision of helping horses to everyone who has a role in the care of horses.

“The Foundation for the Horse is the best way for me to support research and welfare issues because of the types of programs it funds and its careful use of dollars. The Foundation is one of the best ways to give back to the horse, and to ensure the benefits veterinarians provide for horses (and clients), both now and in the future.”
