A NEW vision and strategy to ensure horses have a good life in and out of competition is the aim to ensure good welfare and public acceptance of involvement of horses in sport.
The FEI-appointed equine ethics and wellbeing commission made recommendations to the FEI sports forum (24-25 April).
The commission had researched perception of horse sport, involving thousands of people in the industry and the public (news, 17 November 2022). It found 73% of equestrians felt welfare in sport needs to improve.
Commission chair Natalie Waran told there has since been “a huge amount of work”, which has contributed to the 24 recommendations.
