The Unwanted Horse Coalition (UHC) has released a new informational brochure titled Preventing Unwanted Horses: Geld and Spay.

The brochure, which was created as a supplement to the UHC’s Operation Gelding program, highlights the benefits and importance of gelding, spaying, and hormone therapy as these practices pertain to responsible horse ownership and the issue of unwanted horses.
