endurance horse welfare

Endurance horse welfare focuses on ensuring riding horses remain healthy, comfortable, and fit for their demanding activity. It involves proper training, adequate rest, appropriate nutrition, and regular health checks to prevent overexertion and injury. Monitoring the horse's behavior and physical condition is essential to identify signs of stress or fatigue early. Good welfare practices also include maintaining suitable equipment and providing environmental conditions that support recovery. Overall, the goal is to balance the horse’s physical and mental well-being while participating in endurance rides, ensuring they are healthy, motivated, and able to perform safely.
