"The Greatness Of A Nation And It's Moral Progress Can Be Judged By The Way It's Animals Are Treated" 

                                                 ~ Mohandas K. Gandhi

The horse industry was not exempt during the recession we experienced from 2008-2009; in fact it was hit extremely hard with many horses left astray and unwanted. In this particular industry however, it has not only been through recessions that we have noted these challenges our horses have gone through, but long before this time. In Canada we have organizations that do justice for our small domesticated pets such as the BC SPCA however when it comes to larger animals, more is yet to be desired as the finances for all our horses at risk, simply are not there.  It is no secret that horses are costly, however this does not make them deserving of a life where their needs are not met. 

Over the past several years we have heard your concerns about horses that were at risk, many of us saddened by what the media and press was presenting. This calling of your voices inspired Voice For The Horse to develop the VFTH Online Business Advertising and VFTH Affiliate Memberships where proceeds from your business/membership fees go directly back to horses in care. Click here to learn about the VFTH Business Directory and our VFTH Affiliate Membership options. Click here to see a sample of how your ad will appear on the Voice For The Horse website VFTH Business Directory Ad and our VFTH Affiliate Membership

July 23, 2010 News Release ~ The Province ~ It was a great relief for many horse lovers as news spread as quickly as wildfire that 30 Thoroughbred's in the Interior of B.C. were rescued which avoided their destiny of going to slaughter. Within 24 hours nearly all the horses were purchased for a minimal price to cover their cost. Something definetly is happening out there for the horses in that more and more individuals are paying closer attention to this industry that has been so hardhit by the economic turn down and are seeing the value of a horse outside of the racing industry as it is in this case. For the full story and more information on the events that unfolded that created this miraculous rescue click here Thoroughbred Horse Rescue Chase B.C.

Our Horses Of Today

Horses in our lives today are no longer being noted as our beasts of burden, rather they have taken on a new role in many peoples lives. Horses have paved our way to freedom as we know it today and have once again reinvented themselves for us into yet another serviceable role.  Although horses are still playing active roles in competition and sport, many horses today are being noted for their special gifts of helping people and are used for therapeutic riding, equine facilitated therapies and more ~ today  many horses are even being noted as Teachers! 

Because of the dramatically changing times and the difficulties many horses are enduring today, partially due to the economic turndown, Voice For The Horse was created to help support horses with the purpose being to promote all it is they do for us! It does not matter the sport in which they excel or if they are just a pastured friend, we are here to promote the horse, the industries in which they serve us but most importantly of all, to help make a difference in the lives of horses who have been put at risk due to neglectful and abusive handling and other misfortunes. Whether you are a horse owner or not, we warmly invite you to wonder through the pages of our web site to enlighten your hearts further about your love and appreciation of the horse! 

Another Postitive Shift For Horses at Risk ~ Movie producer Sheri Bylander created HOMESTRETCH, a documentary that shows first hand the positive benefits of the Thoroughbred Retirement Foundation's correctional based programs.

Update on the recently filmed made for television documentary One With The Herd

May 31, 2010 ~ A fabulous time was had by all that participated in the filming of the made for television documentary One With The Herd at Liz Mitten Ryan's Gateway 2 Ranch!! The hospitality and leadership of Liz and her facilitators made for a very eventful week with new insights coming daily to the workshop attendees ~ me being one of them! The food was first class all the way, Liz has the most amazing Chef who prepared daily meals for all. Filming participants were at ease behind the camera too as we discovered early on in the making of the documentary that the film maker herself was a horse woman as well!! I would recommend ALL to take time out to reconnect with themselves and nature and book in for one of the fascinating E.A.R.T.H. Workshops It will be one of your best get-aways and investments you will ever make for yourself!!
