Welfare within the worse world is going to become a massive, massive issue within the next few years. Unless horse sport and horse ownership cleans up its act we are going to find our events and our participation on horse ownership increasingly targeted and criticised. We all need to grow a pair and start/continue calling out obvious abuse. This extends from racing, through dressage, eventing and showjumping right down to those of us who are happy hackers or just enjoy equestrianism as a spectator. We can't stand by and be that person who says nothing.
This goes right down to grass roots level. I have said it before and I will say it many times again, the abuse seen in this yard is just as bad as the abuse seen when a 2 year old is ragged down an A road with a trap, an owner lets their horse get so overweight it suffers badly from laminitis, or when a grossly obsese rider clambers onto the back of a horse.
