NCHA Statement On Horse Abuse
Aug 31, 2017, 17:14 PM
by
NCHA
In recent days, the NCHA has received reports of horse abuse allegedly occurring on private property, outside the context of NCHA approved or produced shows.
The NCHA wants to make clear that it is strongly committed to protecting the health, safety and well-being of the horse. To that end, the NCHA has a long established Zero Tolerance Policy which prohibits mistreatment of a horse on the show grounds of any show approved or produced by the NCHA. The NCHA has in the past, and will continue in the future, to strictly enforce this policy at all NCHA approved or produced shows. The NCHA urges you to report any kind of horse abuse occurring on the show grounds of an NCHA approved or produced show to the NCHA Executive Director.
The NCHA does not have authority under its rules to police any kind of alleged horse abuse that occurs on private property and not within the context of an NCHA approved or produced show. However, the NCHA is ardently opposed to mistreatment of a horse in any venue. Each state has laws that prohibit mistreatment of animals. Therefore, if you have knowledge of any conduct abusive to a horse that is occurring outside of an NCHA show, the NCHA encourages you to report such conduct to local law enforcement agencies for investigation.
