World Horse Welfare is a registered charity in the United Kingdom and Scotland that was previously named The International League for the Protection of Horses.[1] Anne, Princess Royal is its patron. HistoryWorld Horse Welfare was founded in 1927, as a campaigning organisation to prevent the export of live British horses for slaughter. The charity's founder, Ada Cole, was spurred into action after witnessing a procession of British work horses being unloaded and whipped for four miles to slaughter in Belgium.[2] In 1937 after political lobbying by the charity, The Exportation of Horses Act is introduced to protect the welfare of horses destined for the slaughterhouses of Europe. This introduces the concept of 'Minimum Values', which effectively stops the export of live horses for slaughter from Great Britain. The charity opened its first horse rehabilitation centre in Britain, in 1949, and started a first international training course in Morocco in 1985. World horse welfares aim is to rescue as many sick,injured and mistreated horses as they can- and treat each one as an individual. After the horses arrive at the rehoming centre, they are brought back to health by the dedicated staff that work there. If the horse is well enough and recovers, the centre will put it on their website to be rehomed.The person who rehomes a horse will never fully own it, but foster it. When the horses are put up for rehoming, the will be titled either non-ridden companian ,veteran,youngster, project horse.ect.- The charity has 16 full-time based around the UK who investigate concerns reported by the general public. They will visit the horse and check out the public concerns.[3] Horses needing attention are taken into one of charities four Recovery and Rehabilitation Centres, based in Norfolk, Somerset (the Glenda Spooner Farm [4]), Lancashire and Aberdeenshire. The charity works in the developing world training local people in skills such as saddlery, farriery, nutrition and horse management. World Horse Welfare campaign to achieve welfare improvements through changing policy, practices and attitudes. References1. ^YourHorse: ILPH to be renamed World Horse Welfare 2. ^James, J.
