@@harveywetdogthank you, I thought your question regarding horse welfare vs. Ownership is an interesting one and one that will come up more and more often.

An interesting debate although to argue “good horse welfare makes good social media content” one has to first define what is “good horse welfare”? For some horse ownership and horses in sport do not equate to good horse welfare. At the same time the FEI have called for “Informed Public and Equestrian discussion” and that “debate should be well informed and balanced”. World Horse Welfare should be informing equestrian social media contributors how to steel themselves and prepare for that debate in order to demonstrate that horse ownership, and their use in sport, is providing a “good life for horses” (while not necessarily a natural one) instead of promoting a sugary sweet, influencer led, “my little pony” view of the world.
