World Horse Welfare warmly welcomes the newly published vision for ensuring the future involvement of horses in sport and draft recommendations put forward by the Equine Ethics and Wellbeing Commission for the FEI which will be discussed at the 2023 FEI Sports Forum next week.

The draft recommendations for ensuring equine welfare is safeguarded through ethical, evidence-based policy and practices cover all aspects of a sporting horse’s life, and are grouped according to the underlying pillars essential for maintaining a social licence to operate: Be a Leader, Be Trusted, Be Transparent, Be Proactive and Be Open to Independent Evaluation. 

Roly Owers, Chief Executive of World Horse Welfare said: “Against a backdrop of increasing questions being raised from both the public and equestrians around the welfare of horses in sport, these recommendations are a hugely positive step forward. We applaud their scope and how they are informed by evidence and present a holistic vision that all equestrians can subscribe to and be involved in. 

"I am looking forward to the discussion around these draft recommendations at the FEI Sports Forum this week. To secure a strong future, everyone involved in equestrian sport should take this opportunity to move forward and embrace these recommendations with open arms."

World Horse Welfare is an international charity that strives to support and improve the horse-human partnership in all of its guises. The charity supports the responsible involvement of horses in sport and is an independent welfare advisor to the International Equestrian Federation (FEI), the International Horse Sports Confederation (IHSC) and the British Horseracing Authority (BHA) and other national associations and federations. The charity works with horse sport to help them meet higher welfare standards through care, research, education and influence.
