The Unwanted Horse Coalition (UHC) and the American Competitive Trail Horse Association (ACTHA) are joining forces in 2013 to help unwanted horses and equine care facilities.

In 2013, ACTHA and the UHC will orchestrate a dedicated effort to host as many competitive trail rides as possible for the benefit of the unwanted horse and our nation’s equine care facilities. The ACTHA will donate funds raised from each ride hosted this year to the UHC and the local nonprofit equine rescue or care facility. The UHC and ACTHA will be looking for equine rescues and care facilities to get involved with this effort. Currently there are over 700 equine care facilities listed on the UHC’s website.

"ACTHA and the UHC would love to include each one of the rescues listed in this yearlong effort," said Tom Scrima, managing member of ACTHA.

ACTHA rides are casual, judged trail rides that are untimed and 68 miles long. There are open, junior, and pleasure divisions and horses and riders can win ribbons and prizes. The rides are designed so that horse and rider combinations of all skill levels can compete. Non competing horses and riders are also welcome at ACTHA rides
