Maritime Horse Protection Society


Welcome
to the
Maritime Horse Protection Society

  
  

Welcome to the Maritime Horse Protection Society. Since 1992 the society has been assisting, rehabilitating, and finding homes for horses in the Maritimes. We are very proud of the work we do and are rewarded when we find that perfect home for a horse in need. In our journey we have found many wonderful people willing to help and those who are willing to accept help when needed! Thank you to everyone who has supported us in the past and to those who will support us in the future!

Our society operates solely through the generosity of volunteers and is a non-profit organization.  If you have interest or expertise in the areas of fund raising, working directly with horses, lobbying government for change or would like to sponsor one of our horses awaiting adoption, we would like to hear from you!

Our Goals;

Horses are mistreated or abused due to economic hardship, lack of knowledge, neglect or intentional cruelty . The Maritime Horse Protection Society works in three main areas to address these causes.

 

Education

•    Increase awareness in the general public of the problem of horse abuse and mistreatment.
•    Provide horse owners with information and support on the proper care and feeding of horses.
•    Inform potential owners of the real costs and commitment involved in horse ownership.

Lobbying

•    Changes are needed to the Provincial Animal Cruelty Act to provide more protection for all animals.
•    Laws governing the transportation of horses need to be improved.

Assistance for Horses In Distress

•    Investigation of suspected mistreatment and provide support, and guidance if necessary 
•    Relocation or adoption
