Abandonment

Below you will find guidance for owners and managers of equestrian establishments with regards to fly grazing and abandonment. Note that abandonment cannot be pursued in the case of unpaid livery bills, there has to be a genuine welfare concern that the horses are not being attended to, have been genuinely abandoned, or that their level of care is not satisfactory for their needs. This guidance is free to access and has been sourced from reputable sources. 

The information contained on the Yard Owner Hub is provided for guidance only, and we encourage all users to consider their own circumstances and take professional advice where appropriate in relation to the management of their business and the equines in their care.

These resources are available free of charge to all, and always will be.
