The Equine Ethics & Wellbeing Commission has revealed her temporary report, as preparation for next week's FEI Sports Forum in Lausanne. In its report the Commission sums up 24 recommendations to give the equestrian community and sport a social license.
In the EEWB Strategic approach the community needs to focus on 6 key points, to maintain a social license for the involvement of horses in the sports:
- riding training and aids
- recognition of physical and mental stress
- responsibility, regulations and knowledge
- what about the 23h in a day a horse isn't ridden
- not fit to compete
- the urge to perform
