Equine Health and Welfare

Equine health and welfare focus on ensuring horses are physically healthy and emotionally well-cared for. This includes proper nutrition, regular veterinary check-ups, appropriate exercise, and a clean, safe environment. It also involves understanding their behavioral needs, providing social interaction, and preventing pain or discomfort. Good welfare promotes a horse’s natural instincts and overall wellbeing, reducing stress and preventing illness. Essentially, it’s about respecting and caring for horses as intelligent, sensitive animals whose health and happiness depend on attentive management and compassionate treatment.
