    [Derby] British Horseracing Strategic Plan for Horse Welfare (David Robinson)


 
Long, a bit bureaucratic in style, but filled with interesting and provocative ideas.
Most of us tend to focus on issues of on-track safety--the role of medication in keeping unsound horses in competition, track surfaces, and the like.
This report takes a much bigger view.  Especially noteworthy is its focus on responsibility for the horse over its entire lifespan—including the responsibility of breeders and owners for the care of thoroughbreds that never race.  

I'd be interested to hear from Dave about whether the strategies outlined here are likely to be implemented.
