In 2002, NEWC in collaboration with the equine industry produced the first edition of the Equine Industry Welfare Guidelines Compendium. The Compendium is currently on its third edition, which reflects the significant changes in animal welfare as well as improved scientific knowledge of equine well-being. We will ensure the Compendium remains accessible, relevant and under constant review.

NEWC participates actively in supporting the British Horse Council on policy matters concerning welfare and is currently involved in initiatives investigating the regulation of animal sanctuaries and equine establishments.
