Horse welfare is of vital importance at Woodhill Sands and will be monitored during your stay. Woodhill Sands hold shows that are registered with ESNZ as well as open days, clinics and grass roots training days. We take horse welfare issues very seriously and any concerns raised will be investigated. Any horse welfare issues will not be tolerated. Please report any incidents you have observed or concerns you have to the event staff or officials on site at the venue. The FEI has a Code of Conduct for the Welfare of the Horse and this guides and informs our approach in this area. This code can be viewed here.
