British Equestrian is extremely dismayed by the actions of those who appear in the video footage released over the weekend, which has, quite rightly, caused distress and anger. The Federation and all our member bodies put equine welfare at the forefront of any sport and activity, as should every member of the wider equestrian community. We all have a duty of care for our equine partners and a role to play in acting as guardians for their welfare. As such, British Equestrian has a zero tolerance policy of any abuse or neglect and will ensure any allegations of the ill-treatment of horses are not ignored or overlooked.
