THE Irish Horse Welfare Trust (IHWT) is Ireland’s largest and leading equine welfare charity. Set up in 1999, it is involved in rescue, rehabilitation and re-homing of equines and also runs a small programme to re-train former racehorses for new careers.

The charity operates from its farm centre in Co Wicklow but is also involved in a number of educational horse projects nationally. Every month we hope to bring you news and updates on the work of the Charity in a new partnership with The Irish Field.
