As a young organization in a challenging area, American Saddlebred Legacy has worked long and hard to position itself and the American Saddlebred breed on a respected and competitive level with peer organizations who are much farther along when it comes to proactive aftercare and second career programs.
An organization is only as good as its donors and supporters, which is why it shares the exciting offer/acceptance of partnership and huge opportunity with this national, and international partner, The Right Horse.
Each year, hundreds of thousands of horses are transitioned from career or ownership. A growing number of these horses end up at risk of inhumane treatment. Led by the WaterShed Animal Fund, The Right Horse Initiative has been developed to unify horse industry professionals, equine welfare advocates, and the broader horse loving public to improve the lives of horses in transition.
The Right Horse Initiative promotes horse adoption as one of the preferred methods of finding a next horse. This unique partnership commits the time, talent, and resources to promote horse adoption through education, training, and public awareness on a national level. Together, the organizations will work to achieve the goal to massively increase the number of horse adoptions and placements nationwide.
As a partner in The Right Horse Initiative, American Saddlebred Legacy is proud to support a national movement reframing the conversation about equine adoption. The American Saddlebred Legacy Foundation is working with The Right Horse Initiative to promote equine adoption as well as the bond between horses and humans.
