The panel will highlight why animal welfare, transparency and values form the basis for sustainable equestrian sports. Topics such as promoting young talent, initiatives such as ‘100 Schulpferde plus’ (100 school horses plus) and the new ‘Pferdesport Deutschland’ (Equestrian Sports Germany) brand show ways to increase participation and understanding.
