Why is a program like BITS needed?
*80% of first time horse owners get rid of their horse within 5 years.
*In just nine years (1997-05), The equine population in the United States has
expanded 33% from 6.9 million to 9.2 million horses, while
the number of horse owners has risen from 1.9 million to 2.0 million, a
modest increase of only about 5%.
*Most neglect and abuse cases can be resolved through owner education.
Educational programs using existing resources should be developed and accessible
to all facets of society."— USDA
