Combating neglect, abandonment and overbreeding

The Foundation for the Horse partners with and provides grants to equine organizations to support the care of horses at risk and those in transition. 

Record Gift to Increase Impact to Horses at Risk starting in 2024

Thanks to the $1 million gift from Pennsylvania horse owners and equine enthusiasts Robert “Bob” and Toni Mallet, The Foundation will be expanding its direct care of domestic horses in need and establish new grant opportunities for many years to come.

The Mallet’s remarkable contribution will serve as the cornerstone for any array of transformative grants and pioneering initiatives, all dedicated to ensuring the well-being of many cherished equine companions.

Through the Foundation for the Horse, these funds will empower programs designed to provide essential care for horses in need within the U.S.

Starting in the late spring of 2024, a series of four annual grant opportunities will come to fruition, each focused on a specific facet of equine support.

  • The Equine Support Grant, aimed at nonprofit facilities, will offer solace and attention to these magnificent animals.
  • The Equine Rescue Response Grant will extend a helping hand to equines caught in the midst of abuse, neglect, abandonment, or seizure incidents.
  • The Equine Vet Care Grant will ensure that life-saving medical attention is within reach for equines housed in nonprofit facilities.
  • The Equine Intake Care Grant will increase the chances of successful adoption for equines entering nonprofit facilities by supporting advanced veterinary care to overcome non-life-threatening health challenges.

The Mallets’ commitment to this cause will leave an indelible mark on equine welfare, underscoring the profound impact that compassion and generosity can achieve.

“The solution to alleviating the suffering of homelessness and neglected horses lies in expanded community resources for horse owners. Resources should include affordable wellness care, end of life options and humane rehoming options.”
