In response to the abusive handling that has been witnessed in the show rings around the country of in hand horses, specifically the Arabian breed. This is to petition the Arab Horse Society to issue clear and consistent rules as to the correct and acceptable standards of handling and maybe to issue fines and bans for those in flagrant breach of the rules If you see it, say something, we will stop it!

Witnessing this surge of backing for our horses is deeply moving because it shows how many of you refuse to turn a blind eye to this abuse anymore. The momentum we have built together proves that the culture of silence around these show rings is finally coming to an end.

This time. It stops. This time, ECAHO will ACT. They must. It is only a matter of time before media grabs the abuse story and runs with it. How inefficient will ECAHO look if they do nothing. They were formed in the 1980's to stop abuse in the Arabian show world. If ECAHO implements changes to remove abuse, maybe we can get other parts of the world to follow.

Unless W.A.H.O., the A.HS. & all relevant breed societies around the globe sits up & take proper notice of how seriously the conduct of SOME professional handlers is damaging the image & public perception of the Arabian show horse, their abusive handling techniques will just continue to get worse & worse....we should ALL be putting the horses' physical & mental wellbeing above ANY showing title!

Cruelty must be stopped & judges must not award scared or whip / shank abuaed horses . The harsh handling won't stop if the results are awarded in the showering
