CODE OF CONDUCT

SAEF/SJSA expects all those involved in equestrian sport to adhere to the SJSA Code of Conduct and to acknowledge and accept that at all times the welfare of the horse must be paramount and must never be subordinated to competitive or commercial influences.

1. At all stages during the preparation and training of competition horses, welfare must take precedence over all other demands. This includes good horse management, training methods, farrier and tack, and transportation.

2. Horses and competitors must be fit, competent and in good health before they are allowed to compete.

3. This encompasses medication use, surgical procedures that threaten welfare or safety, pregnancy in mares and the misuse of aids.

4. Events must not prejudice horse welfare. This involves paying careful attention to the competition areas, ground surfaces, weather conditions, stabling, site safety and fitness of the horse for onward travel after the event.

5. Every effort must be made to ensure that horses receive proper attention after they have competed and that they are treated humanely when their competition careers are over. This covers proper veterinary care, competition injuries, euthanasia and retirement.

6. SAEF/SJSA urges all involved with the sport to attain the highest levels of education in their areas of expertise
