The long-term success of racing depends heavily on the standards and approaches to the health, wellbeing and treatment of the sport’s equine athletes throughout their lives, and society’s acceptance of them. Promoting the fundamental importance of equine welfare, this session will examine key steps being taken in different jurisdictions – and what else can be done – to safeguard racehorses throughout their lives. 654y1u

Amidst the backdrop of rapidly evolving social expectations around what constitutes good welfare practices, this session will also explore ways to drive behavioural change, innovative public engagement and promotion strategies, and cutting edge research which is paving the way for future generations.
