SHIPSHEWANA, INDIANA–Tucked away amid the pristine beauty of American Amish country lies one of Canada’s dirtiest secrets.
Near the end of a quaint rural main street, where clip-clopping horses pull carriages and children ride ornate carousel ponies, less fortunate equines are paraded before buyers who supply a burgeoning Canadian slaughter industry.

We hope you can join us for a three day jam packed event with our legislators, subject matter experts and knowledgeable horsemen and horsewomen.
It will be a great opportunity to share information and to ask questions of the people that have provided so much of the documentation that we use in our efforts on equine welfare and protection.
