Scotland - Animal Health and Welfare Act
"As Scotland’s largest equine charity, BHSS has a network of welfare advisors ready to give anyone advice and practical help on horse welfare in Scotland."
"The duty of care means those owners who don’t understand the needs of their animals will have to learn – and those who should know about welfare but disregard it will be committing an offence.
"The Scottish Executive says it will issue species-specific codes giving practical advice on caring for animals in due course but, meantime, anyone concerned about how to care for their horses can contact The British Horse Society Scotland and we can issue advice or offer practical health and assistance via our network of regional welfare advisors across Scotland."
