History
The Int'l Fund for Horses got its start on February 3, 2003 with a grassroots group of around 200 advocates
called Texans for Horses. Our success in Texas caught national attention and rapidly expanded to include horse lovers from around the United States.
The group incorporated as a
not for profit public charity on September 16, 2003, under the name The Fund for Horses. As our influence reached beyond the United States,
The Fund for Horses amended its name to
Int'l Fund for Horses on June 7, 2004.
The Int'l Fund for Horses was granted 501(c)(4) tax exempt status effective
from the date of incorporation. Our organization is governed by a Board of Directors and managed by its Officers.

Profile
The Int'l Fund for Horses is the single most influential lobbying and watchdog organization dedicated to equine welfare.
Founded in 2003, the Int'l Fund for Horses works for the protection of horses through intervention, education and legislation.
Philosophy
History shows the equine has been an integral and vital part in the expansion and development of our world.
Horses have been bred, lived, worked and even died to suit our purposes.
Horses are not a commodity, but sentient beings with a high degree of physical, emotional and spiritual sensitivity.
Horses do not belong to us, but are fellow citizens, and their wants, desires and needs should be respected.
Inflicting pain, suffering and anguish on horses in any way is immoral and a gross act of betrayal.
