ANIMAL WELFARE GROUPS JOIN FORCES TO IMPROVE LIVERY YARDS
The British Horse Society to administer voluntary scheme |
|
| Horse vets and leading equine welfare groups have joined forces to ask livery yards throughout the country to join a voluntary approvals and registration scheme designed to improve and standardise conditions for horses and ponies |
The scheme demands an initial inspection, with annual unannounced visits by full-time inspectors to ensure standards are maintained. It includes as well, a grievance procedure to deal with complaints by owners, with the proprietor kept informed throughout.
|
A detailed information pack is available to livery yard proprietors considering registration. Fees have been calculated on the number of stables available and there is a section for Do-it-Yourself yards, where owners rent a stable and facilities but care for their horses and ponies themselves. |
