Representantes del sector debaten en Newmarket sobre el bienestar de los purasangres durante toda su vida

Un panel intersectorial analizó formas de mejorar el bienestar de los purasangres desde su nacimiento hasta su jubilación durante un evento celebrado el 15 de mayo en el hipódromo Rowley Mile de Newmarket. Los ponentes destacaron la formación del personal, los modelos de conducta positivos y la investigación fiable como pilares fundamentales de este esfuerzo. El debate reunió a investigadores, entrenadores y educadores centrados en las prácticas a lo largo de la trayectoria deportiva de los caballos y más allá.

Andrew Braithwaite, director ejecutivo de la British Racing School, describió cómo la mentoría y el entorno moldean la percepción de lo que la gente considera normal. Señaló las recientes mejoras en las instalaciones, que incorporaron rejas de contacto y ventanas de doble aspecto para favorecer la interacción entre caballos y la entrada de luz. Braithwaite subrayó que la amabilidad hacia los caballos debe seguir siendo un aspecto central durante toda la carrera de los profesionales en formación.
