Sport and leisure horses

We support the responsible involvement of horses in sport and leisure.

We’re always happy to provide help and advice to owners and keepers of leisure horses.

World Horse Welfare is the only equine welfare charity globally to support the responsible involvement of horses in sport.

Social licence is increasingly important in horse sport and leisure – find out why.

We work constructively with regulators to put the welfare of the horse first.

We work with horse sport to help them meet higher welfare standards.

When sport horses stop competing, their welfare can be put at risk.

We work with Retraining of Racehorses (RoR) to help vulnerable former racehorses.
