Horse Welfare

The welfare and wellbeing of our horses and all other equids is paramount to all of those who interact with them. At British Equestrian, we work with our member bodies, and in turn their members, to ensure the very best standards and excellence in their care, treatment and use in sport, hobby or leisure activities. 

THE CHARTER FOR THE HORSE

Launched in March 2024, the Charter for the Horse is a pledge to be adopted by all across the equestrian sector to underpin our commitment to safeguarding the mental and physical wellbeing of our equids. All 19 of the British Equestrian member bodies have signed up to the Charter and we'll collectively work towards the highest standards in the six key areas of: 

  • Empathy

  • Care

  • Respect

  • Consideration

  • Ethics

  • Learning
