Address on-farm welfare issues – the Code does not apply once equines leave the farm, so it does NOT cover transport.

Key welfare issues for equines in Canada:

Ensuring there is shade, shelter, and dry resting areas to accommodate all equines at the same time when outdoors.

Minimizing social isolation and stereotypic behaviour due to poor turnout, exercise, and socialization opportunities.

Clear space allowances both indoors and outdoors.

Pain control for painful procedures such as branding, and for painful injuries and illnesses.

Minimizing the use of handling and training equipment that causes pain.
