Des acteurs du secteur discutent du bien-être des pur-sang tout au long de leur vie à Newmarket

Un panel interprofessionnel a examiné les moyens d'améliorer le bien-être des pur-sang, de la naissance à la retraite, lors d'un événement organisé le 15 mai sur l'hippodrome de Rowley Mile à Newmarket. Les intervenants ont souligné que la formation du personnel, les modèles positifs et la recherche fiable étaient au cœur de cette démarche. La discussion a réuni des chercheurs, des entraîneurs et des éducateurs axés sur les pratiques tout au long des carrières hippiques et au-delà.

Andrew Braithwaite, directeur général de la British Racing School, a décrit comment le mentorat et l'environnement façonnent la perception de ce qui est considéré comme normal. Il a souligné les récentes améliorations apportées aux écuries, telles que l'installation de grilles de contact et de fenêtres à double exposition, afin de favoriser les interactions entre chevaux et l'apport de lumière. Braithwaite a insisté sur le fait que la bienveillance envers les chevaux doit rester une priorité tout au long de la carrière des stagiaires.
