BHS Welfare aims to prevent cases of cruelty and neglect through education. This is
achieved through its network of welfare volunteers, advisory literature on
issues such as ragwort awareness, and a team
of experienced and dedicated staff who handle all your enquiries.
The great experience of British Horse Society Welfare volunteers enables the Society to respond in an informed and sympathetic manner to reports of equine suffering and neglect, giving advice and guidance to horse owners on a wide range of topics.
The majority of cases that our welfare volunteers respond to involve neglect rather than cruelty. Most cases can be resolved by educating horse owners.

volunteer welfare representative.
As well as responding to welfare concerns, BHS Welfare lobbies government on a number
of welfare-related issues; runs campaigns including the Ragwort Awareness Campaign;
promotes responsible breeding through its close link with the
BHS Horse and Pony
Breeds Committee; works closely with other welfare organisations, and monitors the
horses and ponies on the BHS's Re-home Scheme.
To help fund its vital work, BHS Welfare organises and runs
Challenge Rides to India, Peru, Jordan, Iceland and Inner Mongolia.
