The mission of the Unwanted Horse Coalition is to reduce
the number of unwanted horses and to improve their
welfare through education and the efforts of
organizations committed to the health, safety, and
responsible care and disposition of these horses.
The Unwanted Horse Coalition, a broad alliance of equine
organizations that have joined together under the
American Horse Council, is concerned that some horses
may slip through the various safety nets within the
equine industry. Too many owners are unaware of, or do
not give enough thought to, the available options,
services and assistance available in the industry to
help them ensure that their horse has caring and humane
support throughout its life.
The Unwanted Horse Coalition will help educate the horse
industry about this issue and help people learn to Own
Responsibly.
Arabian Horse Association joins Unwanted Horse Coalition
The Unwanted Horse Coalition announces their newest
member, The Arabian Horse Association. This brings the
UHC member count to 30.
"The Arabian Horse Association is a wonderful addition
to our list of members," said UHC Chairman Dr. Tom Lenz.
"Arabians are involved in all aspects of the horse
world--racing, showing, and recreation--and can
therefore have an important effect. We are excited to
welcome them to the increasing list of members of the
UHC and look forward to working with them on promoting
the goals and mission of the Coalition."
AHA seeks to meet the breeding, competitive and
recreational interests of all Arabian horse owners.
Founded in 1908, the AHA Registry has registered more
than 1 million Arabian, Half-Arabian and Anglo-Arabian
horses, ensuring the integrity and perpetuation of the
breed. AHA offers over 400 events and competitions and
the largest online marketplace and community forums on
the web, bringing people together to share the joys of
Arabian horse ownership.
The Unwanted Horse Coalition is a broad alliance of

umbrella of the American Horse Council. The Coalition's
mission is to reduce the number of unwanted horses and
