Grupo de bienestar animal lanza un premio a la buena equitación

El Welfare Stewarding Group ha presentado un nuevo premio para reconocer a los expositores que priorizan el bienestar de los caballos en las competiciones.

El premio Animalweb Good Horsemanship destacará a las personas que demuestren un manejo excepcional, empatía y un compromiso con poner a los caballos por encima de todo. Se entregarán escarapelas y vales de pienso de 10 libras, patrocinados por Dengie, a los ganadores seleccionados en los eventos. Los primeros premios estaban programados para el Royal Cornwall Show, celebrado del 4 al 6 de junio. La fundadora Amanda Stoddart-West declaró que la iniciativa se centra en la relación entre el caballo y el jinete en lugar de en los resultados. El presidente David Marlin señaló que los premios tienen como objetivo inspirar prácticas positivas en todo el sector. El grupo ha sido invitado a 15 espectáculos este año.
