The Horse Trust implements a continuing education programme to promote responsible horse ownership and, as well as producing
its own literature, works in partnership with many other equine organisations.
This website is a trusted point of information for experienced
and inexperienced horse owners alike, offering guidance
on the costs of ownership, steps to take when considering
buying a horse, the responsibilities of ownership, the
range of insurance policies available and the signs of
some common ailments. Essential health care requirements
are also explained, and owners can download the essential
"First
Aid for Horses".
The Horse Trust, working alongside the British Horse Society, publishes free leaflets which are circulated nationally via BHS welfare
officers, riding stables, pony clubs and at the many county shows. The Trust maintains close links with veterinary students through the
British Equine Veterinary Association, and sponsors its congress and other activities.
The personal touch is never forgotten, and owners can
find a friendly ear and practical advice on caring for
their horses and resolving difficulties when they telephone
the Trust - from horse feeding issues to behaviour management
and retirement or euthanasia.
