Rescue, retrain and rehome unwanted, abandoned or surrendered equines in Ireland. Lobbying for the enforcement of animal welfare legislation.


MLHR's mission is to end the suffering of equines in Ireland via education, awareness and lobbying for the enforcement of Animal Welfare Legislation such as the Animal Health & Welfare Act and Control of Horses Act. We also retrain and rehome abandoned or surrendered equines.

Established in 2011 and run entirely by unpaid volunteers determined to end the suffering of equines in Ireland via education and lobbying for the enforcement of Animal Welfare Legislation. We work with Gardaí, local councils, legislators, local community groups to improve awareness of legislation among authorities and horse welfare with urban horse owners.
