Do you sit on a horse organisation committee? Are you seen as a leader amongst your peers?
Many horse sport and recreation organisations are taking opportunity to continuously review rules and policies, invest in research, provide targeted education programs and promote the positive welfare actions in place.
Horse SA is facilitating a conversation with a Thought Leaders Group, made up of organisation leaders who share thoughts and conversation around horse welfare, wellness and/or well-being.
From the perspective of a horse organisation or event committee member or industry leader, what would your thoughts and conversation points be around these current questions?
in relation to horse welfare introduced formally or informally into your organisation policy, practices, rules & culture?
*The term thought leader can be applied to an organisation that integrates professional ethics with highly-effective leadership development
