Understanding the Verification

The Initiative for Lifelong Equine Guardianship (ILEG) provides information on the policies and procedures of organizations, Some are designed to help protect each horse for life, some are not. If a person or an organization does not remain the guardian of each horse for life their horse can easily be at risk for slaughter.
This is why tens of thousands of horses are shipped to Canada and Mexico annually for slaughter.
