Protecting horses
Description
Protecting horses involves implementing measures to ensure their welfare, safety, and health. This strategy includes enforcing anti-cruelty laws, providing adequate nutrition and shelter, preventing overwork and abuse, and ensuring access to veterinary care. It also addresses issues such as abandonment, illegal trade, and exploitation in sport or labor. Practical actions include rescue operations, public education, and promoting responsible ownership to remedy neglect, mistreatment, and threats to equine well-being.
Implementation
New Forest ponies have been fitted with reflective neckbands by Hampshire Council in the UK after 46 of them were hit by motorists during the summer of 1994.
