Welcome to the Equine Health and Welfare Strategy for Great Britain
Developed by the whole of the equine industry in conjunction with government and in response to the Animal Health and Welfare Strategy for Great Britain, the 10 year Vision of this Strategy is to achieve high standards of health and welfare of equines in Britain and to ensure that everyone responsible for equine health and welfare understands and fulfils their duty of care.
In Britain today equines are used primarily for sport and recreation. The use to which they are put, and the way in which they are managed, determines the risks to which they are exposed. This directly influences their health and welfare.
