Life journeys of horses
Horses move through many different hands and environments over the course of their lives. Each change comes with new people, new expectations and decisions that influence the horse’s wellbeing. Understanding these life journeys is an important part of making equestrianism more sustainable and responsible for horses and their caretakers.
This survey is part of a student project that explores how horses move through the equine sector and what kinds of value are added or lost along the way. By sharing your experience about a horse you know well, you contribute to a broader conversation supporting better decision-making and more sustainable practices in the equine world.
