The government urges horse owners to complete a survey

The Government is calling on all horse owners to take part in an online survey, following concerns over the standards provided by some equine healthcare services.

The survey is designed to find out more about dental and hoof care and musculoskeletal therapy for horses.

It is part of the review of minor procedures regime project, set up by Defra to investigate the most effective ways to govern activities undertaken by non-veterinarians. 

The survey closes on 15 June and is anonymous. Visit: www.surveymonkey.com/s/RMPRHorseOwner
