Nexus Equine works to partner and collaborate with other equine organizations. We know that to improve outcomes for horses, we must unify the equine community, industry organizations, welfare advocates, horse professionals and the general horse loving public. By working together, we are more successful because we can draw on the strengths of individual members who present like-minded philosophies, diversity in skills, talents and background, experiences and perspectives. As a result, we are able to share resources and knowledge and address challenges TOGETHER. Partnerships and collaboration allow us to tap into new resources, new revenue, new opportunities and the creation and success of innovative programs. Nexus is an organization that thinks out of the box, coming up with different ideas and programs that give horses a better opportunity for adoption or assist horse owners strengthen healthy horse ownership. By utilizing innovation, Nexus can maximize impact and improve the lives of MORE horses across a variety of outcome based programs.

Nexus Equine uses innovation to maximize impact and improve the lives of horses across a variety of outcome based programs. Along with our Adoption Program, we have our Transport Program and Care Connection Fund; we also have these innovative programs within our traditional programs: Oklahoma 4H Equine Makeover and our Take Two Lease Program. All of these programs involve partnership and collaboration with other equine industry organizations, animal welfare organizations and horse owners. We strive to engage the different groups across the board to come together and work to achieve good outcomes for horses.
