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

Whether horses are used in sport, for leisure or for breeding purposes, responsibility for their welfare rests on the shoulders of those who own, breed, train, ride and care for them. World Horse Welfare supports the responsible involvement of horses in sport, so long as their welfare is truly put first. We work with regulators and other industry bodies to advise on how horses’ welfare can be protected both during and after their career in sport. Significant improvements have been made but there is undoubtedly much still to do.
Although the horse-human relationship is an ancient one, for it to thrive long-term, equestrianism needs to ensure it continues to have the approval and acceptance of wider society. When an activity does have society’s approval or acceptance, it is said to have a ‘social licence to operate’ (SLO). The equestrian world needs to maintain and strengthen its social licence for it to have a future

Too little, too late, too shallow.
