Horse Care and Welfare

Horse care and welfare involve providing animals with proper nutrition, clean water, safe shelter, and regular health check-ups. It’s essential to ensure they have enough space to move freely and mental stimulation to prevent boredom. Good hoof and dental care are vital, as is protection from harsh weather. Regular monitoring for signs of illness or discomfort helps catch issues early. Responsible owners also prioritize gentle handling and social interaction, recognizing horses are social animals. Overall, their well-being depends on attentive, consistent care that meets their physical, mental, and emotional needs.
