You can help ensure the integrity of racing by placing the safety, health and welfare of the horse first. Be part of the solution and positive change by helping to bring SAVING AMERICA'S HORSES, the educational documentary film to the public eye. This landmark feature documentary film is an intelligent and hard hitting exposé that reveals how the public has been misled by government agencies and corporate interests that run over the laws that are supposed to protect the horses and the environment.
Learn more about SAVING AMERICA'S HORSES, the movieThe Saving America’s Horses Initiative through its infrastructure and multimedia resources strives to provide a lingering impact on society about what is being done to protect the welfare and safety of the horse. Although some protective rules are being implemented at various racetracks to help stop the incessant flow of racehorses to slaughter; it’s evident that more must be done, including passing a federal ban on slaughter of horses for human consumption. Recent efforts to introduce changes to the horseracing industry from various camps, together with growing awareness of the need for corporate social responsibility, illustrate the convergence of good timing toward meaningful changes.
