Homes for Horses Coalition Conference and Lobby Day

Homes for Horses Coalition Conference: Talkin' Horse Sense into Congress

Join us for an impactful event dedicated to supporting our equine rescue community! The Homes for Horses Coalition Conference is a must-attend gathering for professionals in the equine advocacy world. This in-person event will be held at the YOTEL Washington DC and is led by the Animal Welfare Institute and American Wild Horse Conservation.

Get ready to learn alongside new friends, collaborate on innovative program ideas, and share your story. The HHC conference brings together equine welfare professionals from around the country to learn new skills and strategies to find homes for horses, keep horses in homes, engage and educate communities, and better all nonprofit organizations. This year, we will share our equine knowledge with lawmakers on the final “lobby day” of the event, spurring change for horses on a national scale.

Mark your calendars for this great event and be a part of the Homes for Horses Coalition Conference. Together, let's create a brighter future for our equine companions!
