5 Freedoms for the Horse - Supporting the health & welfare of your horse

1. Freedom from hunger & thirst. Provide access to fresh water and a balanced diet for optimal health.
2. Freedom from discomfort. Provide an appropriate housing environment with shelter from extreme weather conditions, and also a comfortable resting area.
3. Freedom from pain, injury & disease. Prevent your horse from getting ill. Ensure a safe environment. If they do become ill, make sure your horse is seen promptly by a veterinarian.
4. Freedom to express natural behaviour. Horses are a social animal, normally living in a herd. Provide enough space for your horse to act naturally with other horses - playing, grazing, and mutual grooming with friends.
5. Freedom from distress & fear. It is important to build a trusting relationship with your horse so you can prevent any unnecessary mental suffering
