Can you believe this is the same horse? 🐴 Horses can change colour over time, particularly if they are grey, so it's important to take regular photos to document any changes to coat colour. This will ensure that a horse is fully traceable throughout their lifetime. Find out more about traceability here 👉 https://bit.ly/46Mp0BG #WorldHorseWelfare #HorseTraceability

We have been working with our partners the Cart Horse Protection Association in Cape Town, South Africa for almost 30 years! 🇿🇦 Last year, a Welfare Farrier Training Programme was developed to provide formal skills training for apprentice farriers within the organisation and from the local carting community, in response to the need for more community farriers to combat the rise of poor quality 'backyard' shoeing. The three-month training scheme provides a gateway to trained farriers, and has a huge impact on horse welfare by enabling owners to access affordable hoof care, balanced trimming, professional shoeing services and good quality shoes.
