Awareness campaign on “equine well-being” at the Montluçon-Néris racecourse (Allier)

“I have been coming to the races since I was little. But I admit that, until then, I was not particularly interested in the way the horses were treated ”, admits Theo, 21, in front of the Race and care stand, installed this Sunday, June 27 at theMontluçon-Néris racecourse (Allier), on the occasion of the fourth and last horse racing meeting of the season.

Nutrition, hoof maintenance, osteopathy, balneotherapy

“Race and Care”: this is the name of the system to raise public awareness of equine well-being that the National Federation of Horse Races (FNCH) has just launched. Nutrition, hoof maintenance, osteopathy and even balneotherapy …

It is about presenting the care given to horses throughout their careers. We’ve been doing a lot of things for a long time, but we weren’t talking about it. Well-being is becoming a real societal issue

Eight measures of a “Charter for Equine Welfare” are described in a flyer and in video clips. “It’s about talking about the races. But also the training of horses, their recovery, regulations put in place, especially on doping, ”lists Amel Gatta, responsible for running the Race and care stand, yesterday at the racetrack.

By law, horses can no longer run after ten years. We help retraining associations to ensure the transition of horses to a new career

Oisin Hopper (FNCH communication officer)

Some are oriented towards other disciplines, such as polo or horse-ball. Others spend their retirement in equestrian centers. Maybe one day you will take a ride on the back of a former champion?
