Code of Practice

Code of Practice for Welfare Organisations involved in the Keeping of Horses, Ponies and Donkeys

This Code of Practice aims to ensure that high standards of husbandry are maintained by all NEWC members holding horses, ponies, donkeys, hinnies and mules.

All equine organisations are encouraged to become members of NEWC, to agree to maintain high standards of care and to work in conjunction with similar organisations for the benefit of the horse.

A high standard of husbandry is fundamental to, and will have a direct bearing upon an organisation's ability to achieve its welfare objectives.

The Code outlines minimum levels of equine care, which are expected of member organisations and is strongly recommended to all equine organisations.
