HorseWorld are committed to help change the lives of horses and young people in need.
In 2027, we will be 75 years old, however, we are already looking beyond that and towards our centenary in 2052, to ensure we can continue Mabel Cocksedge’s legacy of "People Helping Horses, Helping People."
To make sure we continue to fulfil our purpose in a changing world, we are creating a roadmap to 2052.
Over the next five years we have three specific ambitions. We will:
1. Utilise many years of experience, robust evidence and a deep understanding of the horse, to deliver a world class, horse centred rescue and rehabilitation programme to improve the welfare of horses in our local community.
2. Establish a centre of excellence in the provision of equine assisted learning to young people, with a scalable model to benefit all members of society.
3. Prepare to scale up the positive impact of our work with humans and horses, by working in collaboration with others across the UK to expand our work through education and outreach.
Our Vision and Mission
Vision: A world where horses and humans help each other to live and work in harmony.
Mission: HorseWorld improves the outcomes of horses and young people by creating a safe community where horses and humans connect and enjoy lifelong learning. Since 1952, we have rescued, rehabilitated and rehomed horses, ponies and donkeys, while advancing equine welfare through research and education. Through our Discovery equine-assisted learning programme, we support young people to build confidence and skills through working with gentle rescued horses, creating meaningful change for horses and people.
