Equine Welfare Quizzes
One of our main objectives is promoting knowledge of equine care and welfare so you can help support us to identify when a horse, pony, or donkey is suffering or in pain.
We use the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) Code of Practice for the welfare of equines as a guide of how to look after and care for equines. When their care has fallen below the basic guidance and they are not having their basic needs met they could be a potential welfare concern.
Below are a selection of quizzes focused on the basic needs that can lead to welfare concerns, these are things you can look out for.
We also hold regular Make a Difference Events where guest speakers share their wealth of expertise – keep an eye on our events page and social media channels for upcoming dates.
