Be bold and ambitious to benefit welfare and sport

THE FEI has been urged to be bold and ambitious, and make evidence-based decisions to ensure equine welfare is always at the forefront of horse sport.

There will be a session to discuss the final report of the independent Equine Ethics and Wellbeing Commission (EEWC) at the FEI sports forum (29–30 April). The aim is to “discuss a proposed practical plan”.

The final report, “A good life for horses: a vision for ensuring the future involvement of horses in sport”, was presented at the FEI general assembly last year (news, 30 November 2023). It included 30 recommendations and asked the FEI to determine what a good life is for sport horses.

It also urged the FEI to adopt the precautionary principle; putting horse welfare as the focal point in decisionmaking by understanding that absence of evidence does not mean evidence of absence. This was also urged at the 2024 International Society for Equitation Science (ISES) conference in March.
