" Be a Guardian " reframing equestrian care in our community and beyond

The goal is to respect the natural needs of horses in international equestrian sports, fostering a global commitment to equine welfare and ensuring that horses receive the care and respect they deserve

In this perspective The FEI launches the "Be a Guardian", calling on community members to embrace their roles as guardians of FEI horses. 

The ‘Be a Guardian’ initiative represents a significant shift in the FEI's approach to equine care, emphasizing the importance of horse welfare. 

Based on the concept of guardianship, the Equine Ethics and Wellbeing Commission created a comprehensive document highlighting six priority areas and 30 recommendations to improve the welfare of sport horses.

The FEI has since developed an Equine Welfare Strategy Action Plan to address the priorities identified by the Commission. 

Please be aware and disseminate the message among all our equestrian community.

Thank You
