The declining popularity and financial challenges the U.S. horse racing industry faces today are the direct result of its failure to take responsibility for the lifetime care and welfare of every thoroughbred horse bred for racing. That situation must change if the industry is to survive.

The mission of Horsewatch Foundation is to educate the general public and lobby State and Federal legislatures regarding the urgent need for fundamental changes in the way the U.S. thoroughbred racing industry is funded, organized and operated. Horsewatch intends to help implement those changes by promoting voluntary cooperation and action where possible, the adoption of relevant State and Federal legislation as needed, and when necessary, the use of appropiate civil litigation in the State and Federal courts.

We invite like-minded individuals and organizations to join us in this effort and support Horsewatch's work, whether by volunteering to lend their expertise to our initiatives, working to organize meet-ups and town hall meetings across the country, lobbying State and Federal legislators and regulators - as well as providing financial support for the legal, administrative and public relations resources required to achieve its goals.
