Join the Movement From Home

Not everyone can show up in person — and that’s okay. There are powerful ways to make a difference right from your living room, barn, or backyard. Here’s how:

​

1. Be a Digital Advocate

Use your voice online to inform and inspire others:

​

• Share our posts on Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok

• Use our hashtag #ProtectOhioHorses

• Create your own post or short video about why you support the Act

• Tag your local legislators in respectful messages urging their support​

​

 2. Write to Local Media

Local newspapers and online outlets still influence lawmakers. You can:

​

• Write a Letter to the Editor or op-ed

• Share a personal story about horses and why this law matters​

​

3. Make Calls or Send Emails to Lawmakers

A single phone call or thoughtful email from a constituent can sway a vote.

 Use our:

​

• Phone scripts

• Email templates

• Legislator lookup tool​

​

 4. Host a Virtual Info Session

Gather friends, family, or riding buddies on Zoom or FaceTime to spread the word. We’ll send you:

​

• A discussion guide

• A downloadable presentation

• Option to request a guest speaker​

​

5. Educate Yourself & Others

Knowledge is advocacy. Read, share, and discuss:

​

• What’s in the Equine Protection Act of 2025

• Why existing laws are not enough

• Real stories of horses impacted by neglect or abuse​

​

 6. Send Postcards to Lawmakers

Personalized, handwritten messages stand out.

​

• Print your own postcard and add a message!

​​​

 7. Get Creative for the Cause

Are you an artist, writer, photographer, or maker? Use your talents to:

​

• Create equine-themed art or content that promotes the cause
