Equine Welfare 434i5x

February 21, 2020

The sport of racing is required to constantly consider the way horses are cared for, from cradle to grave. Amidst rapidly changing social values towards animal welfare and animal rights, it has become increasingly important for racing authorities around the world to both re-examine and justify the effectiveness of historical approaches towards ensuring equine welfare. Any failure to meet community expectations in modern society as to how racehorses ought be cared for through all stages of their lives could pose a direct threat to our sport’s sustainability. 12235l
