Health and Welfare
If you have a specific query regarding your horse or pony's health or welfare, you should contact your private veterinary surgeon.
The health and welfare of animals is central to Defra's work of protecting and improving livestock and controlling and eradicating disease. The Animal Health and Welfare pages of the Defra website are divided into various subject areas and contain information on all the different ways Defra is working to improve animal health and welfare.
