HORSES, SPORT, RESPECT
Yes, loving horses and competing while respecting them is possible.
Equestrian sport is at a turning point in its history. Today, society is questioning our practices: it is up to us to demonstrate that sporting excellence can go hand in hand with genuine respect for the horse.
Equestrian Action Group was born from this conviction: to ensure a sustainable future for our sport by defending horse welfare and valuing the horse as a partner in excellence.
In a context where Social Licence to Operate (SLO) — society’s acceptance of our practices — directly determines the future of equestrianism, our mission is clear: to protect the legitimacy of equestrian sport by putting horse welfare at the heart of everything we do.
