Making a difference

Local Welfare

Many of our volunteers monitor horses on public land in their local areas and provide water and hay during severe weather conditions to vulnerable animals. 

Education 

We provide horse care and welfare training and education to a variety of groups. These include traveller groups and schools.
We support learning and work placements for individuals with special needs and those wishing to enter employment.
We deliver presentations to a range of professionals, such as Gardaí to improve awareness around the issues facing urban horses and to improve their understanding of the legislation and powers in place to protect equines.
If you would like to find out more about arranging a school presentation or work placements please email hello@mlhr.ie
