Equine Welfare Survey

Are you aged 18 or over and involved with horses, ponies, donkeys or their hybrids in some way - e.g. as an owner, vet, farrier, welfare officer, sanctuary, yard owner (or in another role)?

If so, we would love to hear from you!

We are conducting a survey to understand the management, ownership, population & welfare of equines in England & Wales

This research project has been commissioned to find out more about the use and care of horses* across England and Wales. Specifically, we are interested in the supply and demand for horses in these countries and the impact this has on horse welfare and the population. The survey will close to responses at midnight Tuesday 31st January 2023 so please ensure you complete the survey by then.
