‘Advancing Equine Intimate Health Standards Worldwide’

  • The Federation was founded by Stacy Harris, Director of Harris Equine Intimate Health Specialists, with a clear mission: to implement consistent, professional standards across the field of equine intimate health.

    Driven by a passion for improving equine welfare and recognising the need for unified core values, Stacy established the Federation as a platform to develop, promote, and uphold best practices throughout the industry.

  • The Equine Intimate Health Federation serves as a unifying force for professionals across the industry—establishing standards, sharing knowledge, and offering a trusted support network.

    Its core mission is to set, uphold, and continuously enhance best practices within the field of equine intimate health. In addition, the Federation provides clients with access to a global directory of qualified, certified service providers, ensuring confidence and consistency in care worldwide.

  • As a not-for-profit industry membership body, our mission is driven by purpose—not profit.

    We exist to serve a meaningful cause: advancing equine intimate health through education, advocacy, and the development of professional standards.

    Our work is dedicated to creating positive, lasting impact for both equine professionals and the horses in their care, ensuring the wellbeing of animals and the integrity of the industry remain at the heart of everything we do.

Our Focus

  • Standards & Guidelines

    The Federation serves as a dedicated industry membership body focused on setting and promoting clear standards and guidelines for equine intimate health care.

    Through collaboration with professionals, veterinarians, and industry experts, we develop evidence-based best practices to ensure safe, ethical, and effective care.

    By establishing these standards, the Federation ensures horses receive consistent, high-quality intimate health care—regardless of location.
