In Emilia Romagna, the FISE Regional Committee led by Davide Zanghi is collaborating with disaster relief agencies to create an emergency system for stables and horses. This initiative aims to protect equine welfare amid natural disasters. The plan was highlighted in a recent Cavallo Magazine report.
The Italian Equestrian Sports Federation (FISE) Regional Committee in Emilia Romagna, under Davide Zanghi's leadership, has initiated efforts to safeguard horses during disasters. According to Cavallo Magazine, the committee is partnering with disaster relief agencies to develop a comprehensive emergency system specifically for stables and horses. This response addresses vulnerabilities exposed by recent events affecting equine populations across various regions.
The article, published on February 1, 2026, underscores the urgency of such measures in Italy, where natural calamities like floods and fires have previously threatened livestock. While details on the exact components of the emergency system remain forthcoming, the collaboration signals a proactive approach to equine protection. Broader context from the magazine includes reports of horses rescued in Niscemi, where firefighters and Civil Protection officers assisted farmers with stranded animals during an unspecified emergency. Similar threats are noted in Patagonia, where wildfires endanger biodiversity in Los Alerces National Park, though not directly linked to the Italian initiative.
This development coincides with other equestrian news, such as the 15th Annual ASI Equestrian Sports Convention 2026, which emphasized youth training and equestrian tourism. No specific timelines for implementation were provided, but the plan represents a step toward resilience in the equestrian sector.
