A focus on Welfare and Social License to Operate.
The first report (2021) provided us with a snapshot of the
scale and
activity in Warmblood breeding, placed in the context of the
overall
horse industry. This year, with the second SOI report, the
aim is to
be follow on the first report, along with a focus on Welfare
and the
Social License to Operate (SLO), to enable the enhancement
of the
industry for everyone.
Make a better future for all those involved
This new SOI Report will, once again, provide the current
State of
the Industry and continue identifying emerging challenges,
but a few
newer objectives were set for this 2022/2023 edition:
creating a
snapshot of global perception on animal welfare, bringing
more
transparency to appeal to a more conscious industry,
creating a
constructive and productive engagement between the WBFSH,
studbooks,
breeders, FEI, NFs and riders, identifying trends emerging
and, of
course, providing relevant information to further develop
the
industry.
