HORSE WELFARE
It is standard policy that in the event of a horse requiring veterinary treatment whilst on site, screens will be erected whilst a diagnosis of the injury is made by one of the three veterinary surgeons deployed around the course. The screens are designed to afford privacy during this diagnosis.
Please do not always assume the worse, and at all times the horse’s welfare is our paramount concern.
