ATTENTION – HORSE SHOW ENTHUSIASTS
Horse owners need to WAKE up and support the organizations who are actually taking action to protect your property rights. This is what the USEF is up to – anyone can make a claim of “abuse” and they can SHOW UP ON YOUR PROPERTY: “The United States Equestrian Federation (USEF) recently announced upcoming changes to their rule GR838, which applies to abuse, neglect, or otherwise unethical horse treatment. Thus far, the rule has only applied to actions on competition grounds. However, as of December 1, 2024, GR838 will apply anywhere USEF members raise, board, practice, train, or otherwise use horses, including home facilities. However, the USEF does not have the authority to make site visits to private property and relies entirely on reporting of alleged incidents. They also allow anonymous reporting.
As the old saying goes, the road to hell is paved with good intentions. Quite simply, USEF has left the doors wide open for animal extremists to target horse owners and, furthermore, to trespass and spy to document alleged abuse and neglect. ” Karen Gerfen AgProfessionals
The horse industry’s core values have always been protecting and enhancing equine welfare. While itโs true there is the occasional bad actor, they are few and far between. Most horse owners, trainers, and breeders put the health and welfare of their horses above all else. ๐๐ฆ๐ท๐ฆ๐ณ๐ต๐ฉ๐ฆ๐ญ๐ฆ๐ด๐ด, ๐ข๐ฏ๐ช๐ฎ๐ข๐ญ ๐ฆ๐น๐ต๐ณ๐ฆ๐ฎ๐ช๐ด๐ต ๐จ๐ณ๐ฐ๐ถ๐ฑ๐ด ๐ธ๐ฐ๐ณ๐ฌ ๐ง๐ฆ๐ท๐ฆ๐ณ๐ช๐ด๐ฉ๐ญ๐บ ๐ต๐ฐ ๐ฆ๐ญ๐ช๐ฎ๐ช๐ฏ๐ข๐ต๐ฆ ๐ข๐ฏ๐บ ๐ฌ๐ช๐ฏ๐ฅ ๐ฐ๐ง ๐ถ๐ด๐ฆ ๐ข๐ฏ๐ฅ ๐ฆ๐ฏ๐ซ๐ฐ๐บ๐ฎ๐ฆ๐ฏ๐ต ๐ฐ๐ง ๐ฉ๐ฐ๐ณ๐ด๐ฆ๐ด, ๐ข๐ฏ๐ฅ ๐ถ๐ฏ๐ง๐ฐ๐ณ๐ต๐ถ๐ฏ๐ข๐ต๐ฆ๐ญ๐บ, ๐ฏ๐ฐ๐ธ, ๐ข ๐ฎ๐ข๐ซ๐ฐ๐ณ ๐ฆ๐ฒ๐ถ๐ช๐ฏ๐ฆ ๐ฐ๐ณ๐จ๐ข๐ฏ๐ช๐ป๐ข๐ต๐ช๐ฐ๐ฏ ๐ช๐ด ๐ฉ๐ฆ๐ญ๐ฑ๐ช๐ฏ๐จ ๐ต๐ฐ ๐ฆ๐ฏ๐ข๐ฃ๐ญ๐ฆ ๐ต๐ฉ๐ฆ๐ช๐ณ ๐ฎ๐ช๐ด๐จ๐ถ๐ช๐ฅ๐ฆ๐ฅ ๐ฎ๐ช๐ด๐ด๐ช๐ฐ๐ฏ.
