⇒IRT Horse Welfare Hub⇐
The responsibility of being the guardians of horse welfare within equestrian sport is an important task and relies on everyone engaged in the sport.
We understand that it is a privilege to involve horses in sport, racing and leisure and this comes with responsibilities to the horse.
We commit to respecting that horses are sentient beings with individual personalities. We will ensure the horse’s welfare is always our priority.
We undertake to continually develop our understanding of horse behaviour and equine welfare needs, and to proactively use this knowledge to provide a life for horses through our organisation which is positive and away from anything which might be harmful or negative.
