EQUUS Foundation Names Tim Williams as Head of Programs

"As we head into 2022, we could not be more pleased to announce that Tim Williams has joined the EQUUS Foundation team to help us fulfill our mission to protect America's horses from peril and strengthen the bond between horses and people," said Lynn Coakley, EQUUS Foundation President.

Williams will serve as the primary contact for our equine charity partners -- which are the core of the EQUUS Foundation's commitment to invest in programs with the greatest impact on minimizing the conditions that lead to abuse and neglect, and the threat of slaughter by:
• Finding homes for at-risk horses and horses in transition,
• Providing a safety net for owners enduring hardship to keep their horses,
• Ensuring a safe haven for aged horses, and
• Increasing opportunities for more horses to engage with people in new and innovative ways.

"Tim will work closely with Valerie Angeli, VP Engagement, as we focus our efforts on developing long-term solutions to end the abuse of America's horses and generate the needed resources to implement the solutions," continued Coakley.
