The EHOA are part of the consultation about the project being undertaken by WHW and RVC to define a framework for the care and competition of horses. The two WHW research project leaders are keen to involve owners in the synthesis of the framework. They have agreed to lead a discussion with owners at Burghley, timed for the lunchtime competition break on Friday 2 Sept in the EHOA marquee.
