Washington, DC – March 2010. The Unwanted Horse Coalition [UHC] announces their
newest member, Intervet Schering Plough Animal Health [ISPAH], one of
the country’s largest animal health companies.

ISPAH is a global leader in research, development, manufacturing and
sales of veterinary medicines and offers a broad range choice of
vaccines and disease control methods for equines, farm animals
[including ruminants, pigs and poultry], and companion animals. Along
with the American Association of Equine Practitioners, ISPAH helped to
create the Unwanted Horse Veterinary Relief Campaign, a nonprofit
program that donates vaccines to qualifying equine rescue and retirement
facilities. As a sponsor of the American Horse Council for 2 years,
ISPAH has aided the organization in various important projects, most
recently the widely used brochure, Rehabilitating the Neglected Horse: A
Caregiver’s Guide.

“As a leading animal health care company, ISPAH recognizes the need to
partner with organizations like the UHC so that we can continue to bring
solutions for the health and welfare of the horse,” said Brett
Whitehead, Director Equine & Retail Business of ISPAH.

The Unwanted Horse Coalition is a broad alliance of equine organizations
that have joined together under the umbrella of the American Horse
Council. The Coalition’s mission is to reduce the number of unwanted
horses and to improve their welfare through education and the efforts of
organizations committed to the health, safety, and responsible care and
disposition of these horses.
