Contact us to discuss this Horse Course
In order to ensure a horse is kept happy and healthy the basic needs of every horse should be met by ensuring the following: A suitable environment is provided for the horse to live in. An appropriate diet is provided for the horse, including access to fresh water. The horse is allowed to exhibit natural behaviour. The horse has appropriate companionship. The horse is protected from pain, suffering and injury and disease. More often than not welfare issues arise through ignorance rather than purposeful neglect or abuse of a horse. As such, the education of owners, handlers and riders is of paramount importance in the welfare of horses. The more people can understand the horse's true nature as a wild animal the better they will be able to understand their role and responsibilities in keeping a horse in a domesticated environment. This horse course explores the care, welfare and health of horses as well as equine behaviour, grooming, transportation, handling and nutrition.
