This month we’re recommending Five Domains of Welfare for FEI Sport Horses. This course was developed as a tailored tool to support FEI Stakeholders in assessing and safeguarding horse welfare from short- and long-term perspectives, at the home yard, when travelling and during competition. The course includes lessons, knowledge tests, as well as recurrent reflections for individual self-assessment.
Our staff have tried and recommend other online courses that we have found to be helpful:
Equine Prohibited Substances – Suitable for all members of the equestrian community regardless of their role. The course provides you with information as well as practical tips to avoid inadvertent positive cases under the FEI’s Equine Anti-Doping and Controlled Medication Programme.
Code of Conduct for the Welfare of the Horse – Information on how horses should be treated and looked after, and not just for competition. It includes general welfare, fitness to compete, how events must not prejudice horse welfare, humane treatment of horses, and education.
An Introduction to Ethics & Welfare – Provides all members of the equestrian community with basic knowledge of the societal concerns surrounding the interactions with horses, what our duty of care towards horses involves, and which factors must be considered to ensure that a horse’s welfare needs are being met.
