Here, we focus on all things equid. In the above menu, you will find a host of helpful resources. At the top of the list are PPG’s Guiding Principles with amendments specific to equids. Under Equid Articles, you’ll find informative articles about equid management, social relationships and structure, and more, as well as PPG’s position statements related to equid training and care.
In 2020, we rolled out a new project called Horses With Voices. It is a movement, a paradigm shift within the equid world, with the goals to:
- Empower equids by giving them a voice in their care and training.
- Empower equid enthusiasts worldwide to adopt more equid-considerate approaches in caring for their equids.
- Empower every equid guardian to embrace the science of equid emotion, learning and behavior.
By giving voice to equids—and the people who work with them—we open the door to the complex, rich emotional worlds our equids live within. We give them better lives. Learn more, sign the pledge and access free behavior support resources by clicking on Horses With Voices in the above menu.
