New animal welfare app
Safety and animal welfare remain, again this year, the main pillars of the event, which dedicates an interior pavilion to the Horse Friendly Arena (Hall 11). Here there will be three rings where you can see horses working in freedom, learn the best techniques of conscious horsemanship-thanks to the most important international schools-and discover all the professionals who ensure their well-being every day. Also on the subject of safety, Fieracavalli 2024 edition https://www.fieracavalli.it/it/ is launching its new app, open to all, for any reports of animal malaise and discomfort during the course of the show, so that it has “eyes” everywhere and is able to intervene promptly in difficult situations.
