Forever Protected Equine
Working Horse Retirement Accounts
Our Mission
FPE IS DEVOTED to ensuring that working horses avoid mistreatment and neglect as they age by contributing to their retirement accounts during their working years.
The Issue
After a productive working life that can stretch for as long as 25 years (often with several owners), horses can live for another five or more years.
Unfortunately, the fate of working horses who are too old or injured to work can be bleak. Even the most winning, talented, and beautiful show horse can end up in an auction pen and sold to slaughter.
There is not enough awareness, advocacy or consideration for horses’ future protection and housing as they age out of their working lives.
The Solution
Secure horses’ protection by establishing individual equine retirement accounts. A portion of funds the horse earn while still working will be saved and used to meet the horses’ living needs when old or infirm. FPE is working with a growing network of qualified farm, stable and pasture resources that will ensure a comfortable retirement home is available for all FPE horses. With this method, FPE will never run out of space for the horses in the program.
