Jennifer Purcell, MS, PhD, has joined the American Horse Council as the director of the Unwanted Horse Coalition (UHC).

Purcell will be responsible for overseeing communication efforts between the UHC and the greater equine community, working closely with UHC members to enhance current and future efforts of the organization, and establishing and cultivating relationships with new UHC members and donors.

“We are happy to have Jennifer join the team,” said UHC Chairman Doug Corey, DVM. “She brings experience in education, grant writing, program development, and evaluation, in addition to first-hand knowledge of issues surrounding the unwanted horse.”

Purcell grew up in south Florida, working after school and during summers at a local riding stable. She earned a master’s degree in adult education and a doctorate in higher education administration before working as an education specialist at a medical school in New York City.

In addition to providing hands-on care to horses in need, she revamped the rescue’s marketing materials, tripled grant funding, and coordinated a month-long fundraising campaign which earned the rescue national recognition
