Everyone knows that horses don’t thrive on their own — they flourish because of a devoted network of people who give them expert care, steady support and daily attention. Behind every polished performance, healthy stride or peaceful trail ride is a team of caretakers, including fellow equestrians, who make it all possible. That’s why Boehringer Ingelheim is proud to introduce Share the Care — a new program that celebrates the unsung heroes in all horses’ lives.

Share the Care invites horse owners to tell the world about the individuals who go above and beyond to support their horses’ well-being. From the farriers who keep hooves healthy, to the grooms who ensure every detail is perfect, to the trainers who build confidence and skills, to the barn managers who direct daily operations, and the veterinarians who provide critical care — this program is about honoring them all.
These caregivers may not always be in the spotlight, but they are essential to every horse’s health and happiness. We believe it’s time to recognize and share their stories.
“Horses are a significant part of our lives and contribute greatly to our health and well-being,” says Joseph Lyman, DVM, Director, Professional Services Veterinarians, Boehringer Ingelheim. “Share the Care gives us the opportunity to recognize the many people who contribute to their daily care and overall health.”
How It Works
Participation in Share the Care is simple. Via a landing page, horse owners can submit a story, short tribute, or even a quick shout-out to the people who make a difference in their horses’ lives. Whether it’s a longtime friend who’s been supporting your journey, a parent who’s been along the trail or any one of the many professionals who contribute to a horse’s care – we want to hear about them all.
Throughout the year, we’ll be sharing selected stories across our platforms and sending special “surprise and delight” packages to shine a light on these incredible caregivers. It’s our way of saying thank you—and showing what great care looks like.
Join Us in Sharing the Care
Whether your horse is a top-level athlete or a beloved backyard companion, someone has helped you along the way. Take a moment to celebrate those people, share your gratitude, and help us build a culture that values the hands, hearts, and hard work behind every horse. Because caring for horses is never a solo act — and the people behind the scenes deserve to be seen.
