Animal Welfare Statement

Hylee Training promotes and stands by the well being of the mind, body and spirit of the horse at all times. We expect our clients to consider the welfare of their horses paramount and to always treat them with dignity, respect and compassion.

All interactions and veterinary treatment must ensure the health and welfare of the horse. The highest standards of safety, nutrition, bio-security and preventative care shall be encouraged at all times.

Hylee Training does not accept any form of abuse or mistreatment of horses.

Drugs & Medications – Hylee Training does not condone the use of any drugs, chemicals or foreign substances to alter their performance. Hylee Training supports the use of necessary treatments for the health and well-being of the horse, but does not condone the use of performance-altering substances in competition.

Tail Alteration – Hylee Training does not condone the application or administration of any drug, chemical, foreign substance, surgical procedure, or trauma, which results in or could result in the alteration of normal tail function or carriage.

Hylee Training does not support any action which will cause pain, injury or negative emotions (e.g., fear, anxiety, frustration) due to stress and supports replacement of such practices with ones that minimize or eliminate these negative effects to the horse.
