The Piedra Foundation, a volunteer charitable horse health organization, was created in 1992 by a group of horsemen and veterinarians to;
Promote Continuing Education for horsemen and veterinarians.
Fund Applied Equine Medical Research.
Provide Animaltarian Financial Assistance to owners of critically ill horses by underwriting emergency medical or surgical costs incurred for horses which would not otherwise have access to urgent, lifesaving veterinary care.

The Piedra Foundation's mission is to Improve Man's Stewardship of The Horse. What does stewardship of the horse really mean? For The Piedra Foundation it means:

Translating applied research results and proven clinical experience into equine health management policy and practice.
It means facilitating the availability of up-to-date techniques and modern technology to those entrusted with the care of the horse.
It means keeping the channels of information and education open to equine custodians and care givers.
