The British Horse Society reiterates the importance of educating first time horse owners
With an increasing number of first time horse owners, it has become apparent that not all owners have the knowledge, experience or funding to meet the essential requirements of their horse. More often than not the ignorance of horse owners causes cases of neglect due to a lack of understanding and knowledge. For this reason The British Horse Society (BHS) Welfare Department has introduced a First Horse Owner Information Pack. The pack is designed to provide advice and guidance to both first time and new horse owners. The pack contains lots of useful information ranging from the Cost of Keeping a horse or Pony to Essential Health Care Requirements, as well as a range of other advisory information leaflets.
 

The BHS Welfare Senior Executive, Helen Owens, said: "Our aim is to educate horse owners about the responsibility and commitment required to own a horse. This in turn will help to prevent horses and ponies becoming victims of neglect." The First Horse Owner Information pack informs those new to the equine world what to expect and how to care for their horse and various issues that may arise.
The First Horse Owner Information Pack can be obtained from the BHS for free on receipt of a SAE.
