Not sure which way to vote on October 14?
Worried by the confusing messages?
The Voice isn't a silver bullet, but its a great start. Let's talk to each other and wake up on October 15 a fairer country.

Initiatives such as new welfare policies and commissions need a shared understanding of horse welfare to to be effective.
Our new paper explores what horse welfare means to equestrians and other industry groups.

This is pretty cool...the reintroduction of wild horses in Spain

A professional rider filmed abusing her horse at an A&P show has been convicted and named in New Zealand.
The decision by NZs High Court to name her suggests society's tolerance for poor horse welfare in equestrian sport is quickly disappearing

Younger generations often get bad press - I'm happy to share some good press - an amazing effort from this group of teenagers helping young people in Ukraine ❤️🙏👏
Belgian teenagers raised money to buy a school bus for Ukrainian kids from Hostomel (it is an area that suffered badly when the Russians invaded Kyiv region). The bus came packed with school supplies!
This is the second bus they bought and they are already aiming for a third one!
This next generation of humans is so amazing!
Thank you, @beforukraine!

Such a great conference - thank you #ISAZ2023!
The feedback from my workshop and presentation was so positive and generous, and I was able to learn so much from the work of others.
I am so grateful to have the opportunity to be here and be part of this wonderful group.

Not ok.
The latest models of animal welfare (Five Domains Model) recognise animal sentience and agency, this practice is not consistent with good welfare and cannot be justified.
If we need dairy products, we need to do better and adopt ethical production solutions

🐄 The use of weaning nose plates in the dairy industry separates calves from their mothers, preventing them from nursing. This disrupts natural bonding and can cause distress.

I was lucky enough to chat to Trudi Dempsey about my research on improving rider safety.
If you are interested in learning a bit more about the nuts and bolts of this research, how I came to do a PhD and what I might be doing next...have a listen 🙂

The FEI Equine Ethics and Wellbeing Commission has just released their strategic approach, recommendations and Equestrian Charter. Some excellent ideals and concepts, but little detail about how things might change for horses.
What do others make of it?
