ASPCA Equine Program

Horses have played an indispensable role in human history, yet these sentient, sensitive animals have suffered untold abuse and neglect in work, war, and so-called entertainment. It was the sight of a carthorse brutally beaten by his driver spurred Henry Bergh to found the ASPCA, and we’ve since made horse protection an important focus of our work. We need your help to continue Bergh's mission to fight horse cruelty and neglect.

Today, the ASPCA works to protect and aid horses through legislation, advocacy, education, targeted grants, and enforcement of the carriage horse and cruelty laws in New York City. Learn more about our Equine Program.

Press Release
