Industry survey aims to improve understanding of equine obesity
The SPILLERS™ brand is appealing to anyone who works in the equestrian industry to complete a short survey to help gain further insight into equine obesity in the UK. Participants will have the chance to win £250 Love2Shop vouchers.
This initiative is part of the SPILLERS brand’s educational and practical work through the SPILLERS Slimmers’ Club, which supports more than 11,000 horse owners with safe and effective weight loss strategies.
Launched three years ago, the SPILLERS Slimmers’ Club aims to address equine obesity positively. It provides practical support and camaraderie for owners of overweight horses and ponies to aid them in their weight loss journey. The industry survey intends to gather knowledge from professionals about their and their clients’ perceptions of equine obesity and how positive changes can be made to reduce its prevalence.
Bella Fricker, Project Lead at Mars Horsecare, home of the SPILLERS brand, stated: “As part of our commitment to building a well-informed equestrian community, we are calling out to those who work with horses day in, day out to share their knowledge and views on equine obesity. We hope that by working together, we can elicit positive change, working towards our aim of combating equine obesity in the UK by 2035.”
She added, “Your participation in our survey will not only enrich our understanding of the multifaceted issues surrounding equine obesity but also provide actionable recommendations for effective intervention strategies.”
The survey results will be publicly available on the SPILLERS brand’s website, serving as a comprehensive resource for promoting awareness and advocacy around equine welfare. Responses will remain anonymous.
Participants will be entered into a draw to win £250 Love2Shop vouchers.
