A multi-country expert subgroup under the EU Platform on Animal Welfare drafted an EU guide on good welfare practices in relation to keeping, care, training and use for horses and donkeys.
You can find the horse guide here and the donkey guide here
FEEVA President Mette Uldahl was one of the experts of the subgroup.
The EU Platform endorsed the horse guide in 2019 and the donkey guide in 2020.
FEEVA members were so kind to provide translations (see underneath) namely:
- Fondacion Llorca and AVEE translated the horse and donkey guide in Spanish
- Dr. Susanna Pichon (GEVA) translated the horse guide in German
Infographs were made in 2020:
- Horse Guide Factsheet – Infectious disease and biosecurity
Horse Guide Factsheet – Hoof Care
Horse Guide Factsheet – Water
Horse Guide Factsheet – Turnout – shelter and pasture
Horse Guide Factsheet – Stable – indoor housing
