May is Adopt a Horse Month, and according to the Equine Welfare Data Collective, there can be anywhere up to 40,000 horses waiting for adoption in the United States each year. From off-track Thoroughbreds to retired broodmares or even donkeys or ponies looking for a new pasture, it seems like you can find an adoptable horse, pony, or donkey to fit whatever your needs somewhere in the United States.

In addition, Julie interviews Melissa Kitchen, President of the Equine Network Foundation, about their mission and focus, as well as their A Home for Every Horse initiative.

In the latest episode of On the Rail Podcast, we had the pleasure of sitting down with Julie Broadway, the President of the American Horse Council, to discuss the results of the 2023 National Equine Economic Impact Study.

According to a 2019 American Association of Equine Practitioners (AAEP) Equine Economic Survey Report, most equine veterinarians knew they wanted to be a vet before the age of 10. So many choose this career path because of a calling they felt, and a passion and love for the horse. Still, many areas of the United States and beyond currently face a shortage of equine practitioners to provide veterinary care to horses and other equids. This equine welfare issue will only further intensify without action to address the diminishing number of equine veterinarians. The key factors the AAEP identified that are contributing to the dilemma are: compensation, strategies for effective emergency coverage, workplace/practice culture, internships and supporting the growth and development of the equine veterinary student. This month's podcast shines a light on what the AAEP and the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) are doing to help address the issue to help current veterinarians and encourage the growth of the future.HORSES IN THE MORNING Episode 3277 – Show Notes and Links:Your Hosts: Julie Broadway (President) and Megan Arszman (Marketing & Communications) of the American Horse CouncilSponsored by: Equine Discounts with NTRAGuest: David Foley from the American Association of Equine Practitioners (AAEP)Guest: Drs.

In this episode, we had the pleasure of speaking with Ashley Harkins, the current director of the United Horse Coalition, and Emily Stearns, the program manager of the Equine Welfare Data Collective. Established in 2006, the United Horse Coalition is a neutral entity and broad alliance of equine organizations that have joined together under the American Horse Council to educate, advocate, and collaborate industry-wide on solutions to the issues that surround our nation's at-risk horses and those in transition. The work that UHC does helps to ensure that every horse owner has access to the resources they need to keep their horse(s) safe at home should they fall on hard times, or barring that, help provide options to rehome their horse responsibly, ensuring that no horse need be put in a situation where they become at-risk.  In addition to these essential resources, the UHC provides free presentations and educational materials to current and prospective equine owners on responsible horse ownership and breeding, estate planning, preparing for euthanasia and aftercare, responsible rehoming options, and more.Listen in to learn more!Support the show

“The Voice of the Equine Industry” isn't just a motto, it's a promise. With 30% of households containing a horse enthusiast, the AHC strives to speak out for all of them on Capitol Hill. Every horseman should actively strive to be aware of changes that have the potential to impact the equine industry. But with all the drama in our nation's capital, how do we keep track of horse-related legislation? Owners, trainers, breeders, show producers, and hobbyists around the country can rely on the American Horse Council (AHC) to do just that. Since 1969, the AHC has been the voice of the equine industry on Capitol Hill. In order to protect and strengthen the US equine industry, the AHC focuses on maintaining a bipartisan relationship with congressional leaders and regulatory agencies. They can confidently offer vital insights on the impact of legislation and regulatory policies because they partner not only with around 200 equine associations and business, they partner with individual horse owners from all sectors of the horse world. This reliance on group and individual feedback enables the AHC to serve the highly diverse equine industry.

What are the top things equine business owners should be doing to grow our business? How do we convert mildly interested non-horsepeople into enthusiastic riders? Wondering if you should move your hobby farm into a working farm, but not sure how to do it? Get a pen and lots of paper to take notes as the legendary Patti Colbert shares the wisdom and insight her marketing clients went on a waiting list to access, but you get free on Because of Horses!   An icon in the horse world, a senior leader in some of our most respected organizations, and a wildly successful marketing executive specializing in equine businesses -- few can match Patti's level of expertise and the generosity with which she shares her knowledge.   Internationally renowned for her leadership and tireless efforts in developing programs to attract new people and grow the industry, just a few of Patti’s accomplishments include: Extreme Mustang Makeover creator; Senior Director, AQHA Foundation; Executive Director, Mustang Heritage Foundation; board member for the National Cowgirl Hall of Fame, American Quarter Horse Association, and the American Stock Horse Association; recipient of the Equine Industry Vision Award; named one of “The Top 15 Westerners to Watch” by American Cowboy magazine — and so much more!   In this fascinating episode, Patti details how equestrians can enhance their own horse business  by going beyond the over-used reliance on horse-crazy kids and reaching out to newcomers and non-horse people alike — and the importance of connecting within their communities to partner with one another. She also talks about her behind-the-scenes – often hilarious – experiences with the Extreme Mustang Makeover, the TV show “Project Cowboy,” creating the American Horse Council’s “Time to Ride” initiative, and many others.   Topics of Discussion: [:19] Elise introduces her guest, Patti Colbert.

Elise’s guest today on Because of Horses is David Foley, the Executive Director of the American Association of Equine Practitioners. Founded in 1954 by visionaries who saw an opportunity to positively direct the focus of equine veterinary medicine, the AAEP today represents a broad range of equine disciplines, breeds, and associations, with membership consisting of over 9,300 veterinarians and veterinary students in 61 countries.   In addition to his work at the AAEP, David is very active within the equine, veterinary, and association communities. Some of the organizations he’s supported include the American Horse Council, the National Thoroughbred Racing Association, PATH International, the Racetrack Chaplaincy of America, the Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance’s advisory board, and both the American and the Kentucky Societies of Veterinary Medical Association Executives.   In short, David has focused a significant portion of his career improving the life and well-being of horses and of their human caretakers through his work and his extraordinary volunteerism — providing a remarkable example of how we, too, might help make a difference in the equine community.   Join Elise and David this episode as they talk all about his career with the AAEP, the other organizations he has been involved with, and his incredible experiences over the duration of his career.   Topics of Discussion: [:46] About today’s guest, David Foley.
