Horse Wohlergehensrichtlinie

Care, safety and ethical competition

At EIEV, horse welfare is not a regulation - it is a responsibility. We are committed to the highest standards of care, safety and ethical competition across all events.

Framework overview

Our eight pillars of welfare

The framework strengthens veterinary oversight and race-Tag monitoring, with structured health checks, pacing culture, recovery practices and stricter anti-doping enforcement.
