The Unwanted Horse Coalition (UHC) welcomes Cargill, and its NutrenaR branded horse feeds, as a new member. The company joins the UHC and its efforts to educate horse owners about proper health and care of their animals.

Most recently, the company joined forces with the UHC to sponsor and create a Rehabilitating the Neglected Horse brochure. The brochure offered insight and steps to help rehabilitate a horse with a poor body score condition.

“We’re excited about the opportunity to help the UHC and its education efforts about proper care for horses,” said Jackie Rieck, marketing manager for Cargill’s NutrenaR brand equine feeds. “We look forward to helping the UHC meet its education goals regarding care, nutrition and maintenance for horse owners. The UHC and our NutrenaR brand have that in common.”

Using the highest-quality ingredients and the most up-to-date nutritional technology, Cargill manufactures and markets a complete line of NutrenaR brand feeds and supplements that help horses maintain optimal health throughout all stages of life.

The Unwanted Horse Coalition

The mission of the Unwanted Horse Coalition is to reduce the number of unwanted horses and improve their welfare through education and the efforts of organizations committed to the health, safety and responsible care and disposition of these horses. The UHC grew out of the Unwanted Horse Summit, which was organized by the American Association of Equine Practitioners and held in conjunction with the American Horse Council’s annual meeting in Washington, D.C., in April 2005. The summit was held to bring key stakeholders together to start a dialogue on the unwanted horse in America. Its purpose was to develop consensus on the most effective way to work together to address the issue. In June 2006, the UHC was folded into the AHC and now operates under its auspices.
