EQUINE ENRICHMENT WEEK
What is Equine Enrichment Week?
Equine Enrichment Week is dedicated to promoting the mental and physical well-being of horses through engaging, stimulating activities. Horses thrive on movement, social interaction, and problem-solving, but traditional routines often fall short of meeting these needs.
This week-long event highlights the importance of enrichment, offering expert insights, practical tips, and innovative ideas to keep horses happy, healthy, and engaged.
Join us as we explore simple yet effective ways to enhance your horse’s daily life—whether through interactive toys, environmental changes, structured exercises, or hands-on therapies. Enrichment isn’t just a luxury—it’s essential for a well-balanced, fulfilled horse!
