In the context of equestrian sports or any industry, a “social license to operate” refers to the acceptance and approval granted by the surrounding community and society at large for an organization or activity to function in a certain area. It goes beyond legal permits and regulations and encompasses the level of trust, support, and goodwill a sport or organization enjoys from the public and stakeholders.
The concerns raised globally by groups advocating for the closure of equestrian sports and the allegations of unfair treatment and abuse of horses have for quite some time been a topic of discussion and debate within the equestrian community and the broader public. These concerns highlight the importance of addressing animal welfare and ethical practices within equestrian sports.
To address these concerns and maintain the sport’s credibility:
In summary, while concerns about horse welfare and ethical treatment in equestrian sports have garnered attention, it is our duty as SAEF to address these issues through education, regulation, transparency, and collaboration with critics. The goal is to ensure that equestrian sports uphold high standards of animal welfare and fairness while allowing the sport to continue as a respected and ethical endeavour.
