For 21st Century Equestrians

Shaping the future of equestrian sport

Every equestrian loves their horse and would do just about anything to keep them safe and healthy.

Yet, horse welfare scandals are becoming more frequent, and equestrian sports pinnacle event, the Olympics, was plagued by horses with blue tongues, allegations of horse abuse and calls for equestrian to be banned.

We CAN create a positive future for our industry - but we must act.

If you're looking for solutions to protect the future of equestrian sport - I can help.

Policy & Planning

The growing crisis in equestrian sport

You may have noticed the growing calls to ban certain horse sports and the recent scandals that have rocked the equestrian world. These include high profile, Olympians caught using 'training' methods they confess are shameful and out of character. And while every equestrian is striving to give their horse best welfare, the evidence suggests our horses are struggling and we need to do better.

The good news is there are MANY things we can do to help our horses have better lives and keep our sport alive. And that's where I can help.

My research and consultancy is all about helping equestrians make the changes we need to create a positive future for horse sport.

I think this workshop should be done as an activity at equestrian organisations, riding schools and any institution involved with horses.
