Following the success of the inaugural Share the Care recognition program, Boehringer Ingelheim is again encouraging horse enthusiasts to nominate extraordinary equine caregivers. The nominees can be veterinarians, farriers, trainers, barn managers, or any other individual who makes a difference in the lives of the horses in their care.

The first round of honorees was chosen from a pool of more than 300 nominations representing 40 different states. In total, five people were honored, including a trainer, equine rescue organization leader, private barn owner, veterinarian, and farrier. Each one was carefully selected for their commitment to excellence in equine health and well-being. Read their stories here. 

“We were thrilled with the number of people who nominated equine caregivers to be honored in the inaugural Share the Care program,” said Sarah Happel, head of marketing for Boehringer Ingelheim’s Equine Division. “There is truly a community of horse people dedicated to and passionate about taking the best care of these incredible animals. We are proud to be a part of that community.”
