Racing has a clear and moral responsibility for the racehorse at the heart of the sport. Racing is one of the most regulated animal activities in the world and strict measures are in place to ensure the welfare of horses.
British racing has made huge strides to continuously improve safety, welfare, and transparency. More than £60 million has been invested since 2000 to advance veterinary science, research, and education. This work benefits all breeds of horses.
In order to continuously improve welfare standards, in 2019, British racing created an independently-chaired Horse Welfare Board to produce a strategy that unites the whole industry and drives continuous improvement.

The EquiBioSafe app aims to ensure you have reliable advice on equine disease control always available wherever you are. The comprehensive biosecurity section covers how to minimize contagious disease risk with practical advice on management of horses, staff, visitors and the environment and checklists for dealing with sick horses. The app includes the HBLB Codes of Practice for Breeders and NTF Codes of Practice for Racehorse Trainers. Clinical conditions and techniques are illustrated with video and stills. The app will help you comply with sporting authority vaccine regulation and legal obligations for disease reporting, and it calculates CEM disease risk for individual broodmares and stallions.
