The International League for the Protection of Horses (ILPH) has published a book
called ‘How to Start and develop a Horse Welfare Charity’ designed to help spread
best practice internationally.
The publication is part of the ILPH’s aim to assist
the maximum number of horses worldwide.

ILPH Chief Executive John Smales said: “The ILPH is reluctant to spend its money
in countries which are already fairly wealthy, but do not have effective horse welfare
charities to solve the problem. For this reason we have written this book ‘How to
Start and develop a Horse Welfare Charity’. We will make this available to any organisation
in any country which has the enthusiasm to start a horse welfare charity, and can
show us that it has the ability to make it work. Indeed, though our funds are limited,
we might even give some financial assistance to set up such a charity.”

The 76-page book, compiled by former ILPH Director of Operations David Mountford,
has already been translated into Spanish and further translations will be made as
necessary.

The Guide has been put together to provide some basic direction on how to set up
an equine welfare organisation anywhere in the world. Among many other topics it
provides detailed information on what to consider before you start; the importance
of clearly defined missions, goals and objectives; how to fund your work and the
support systems you need to consider putting in place for long term success.
