About this webinar

The environment in which a horse lives, rests, interacts and exercises plays a fundamental role in its health and overall wellbeing.

In this fourth webinar in the Charter for the Horse series, the focus is on equine environments and management, exploring how the way we house, care for and manage horses can influence their welfare.

The session provides an opportunity to reflect on how management practices can support horses’ physical and psychological needs, and how we can create environments that promote positive experiences and quality of life.

The Charter for the Horse encourages us to provide horses with secure and suitable environments that support their social, behavioural, nutritional and physical needs throughout their lives.

By continually reviewing our management practices and developing our equine knowledge, we can make informed decisions that promote positive experiences and improve the quality of life of the horses in our care.
