Sport

We see horses’ involvement in sport as just one of many facets of our unique and evolving partnership.

We work with regulators and other industry bodies to ensure horses’ welfare is protected both during and after their career in sport.

Regulators

We work constructively with regulators in placing the welfare of the horse first, before commercial or competitive considerations.

The whip has a role to play in keeping a horse and rider safe, but we question its use in racing to make a horse run faster.

When horses are used in sport responsibility for their welfare rests on the shoulders of those who own, train, ride and care for them.

All sports horses will reach a point in their career when they can no longer compete. At this point their welfare can often be put at risk.
