Not all horses have a good life. The Norwegian Equestrian Federation wants to change that.
No horse should have to endure pain or discomfort in training or competition. The welfare of the horse must always come first. We are committed to taking targeted action and being a guide to improve horse welfare in equestrian sports and the horse community in Norway.
Based on up-to-date knowledge, the Norwegian Equestrian Federation will make the necessary changes. We will increase knowledge and awareness of the importance of horse welfare. A good life for the horse should be a given – and a requirement – for all horse owners and anyone responsible for horses.
The Norwegian Equestrian Federation will offer education and knowledge to everyone, from riding schools to elite sports. Together, we will improve our skills through increased understanding and awareness of horse welfare.
Let’s become the strong role models equestrian sports need. We all have a responsibility. Together, we will ensure a good life for the horse. Horse welfare is fundamental to the very existence of equestrian sports.
