THE HORSE FIRST Promise

A promise to always put the horse’s well-being before human ambition.

​

Horse First Initiative exists to protect the physical and emotional health of horses by supporting the people who care for them responsibly. This promise is your invitation to stand with us. Whether you are a horse person or simply someone who cares deeply for horses, there's a place for you here.

For Every Horse. For All of Us

I believe every horse deserves:

  • Compassionate, informed care

  • A life that honors their physical and emotional needs

I promise to:

  • Put the horse’s needs before pride, profit, or performance

  • Speak up for the welfare of the horse, even when it’s uncomfortable

  • Refuse to support people or programs that won’t honor a horse’s well-being

  • Stay accountable for my horse’s care, even when that means making hard choices

  • Be open to learning new ways, for the sake of the horse

  • Support people and places that put horses first

I choose kindness over ego.
I choose compassion over tradition.
I stand with the horse.
