Animal welfare is a subject the NZTBA cares a great deal about
The NZTBA supports the Beyond the Barriers scheme, along with the Dunstan Ex-Factor competition, and this year we held the inaugural Ready Teddy Trophy event for retired thoroughbreds at the Matamata Equestrian Two Day Event.
We must be proactive in promoting all the good things about our industry. Show them how much we love our horses, and our pain when we lose a horse to injury or illness to counteract their negativity wherever we can.
