Green assets of equines in Europe

Horses and other equines are actors of the sustainable development. That is the opinion of the European Horse Network.Today's ecological wake up calls and the importance of sustainable development encourage stakeholders to promote the environmental assets of the agricultural sector. The equine industry is part of the agricultural sector, but it differs from standard breeding through the multiplicity of activities involved. Equines are involved through the multiplicity of activities involved: from conservation grazing to agricultural traction and production, to racing, equestrian competition or outdoor tourism.The European Horse Network (EHN) published a document about the Green Assets of Equines in Europe. FEIF is one of the founding members of EHN.
