• Ensuring that owners, trainers and exhibitors or their agents use responsible care in the
handling, treatment and transportation of their horses as well as horses placed in their
care for any purpose;
• Providing for the continuous well-being of horses by encouraging routine inspection
and consultation with health care professionals and competition officials to achieve the
