Defra and the British Horse Industry Confederation have begun working on

developing the strategy, which we hope will be completed by the spring of 2005.

But we want everyone who is involved in any way with horses to have an

opportunity to contribute to it.

For information on how you can become involved, visit the Defra horse website or for a fact sheet contact:
