Environmental Policy
Hurston Dressage and Eventing recognises the need for everyone to do their part for the environment. There are plenty of reports and studies currently in circulation that explain the damage that the equestrian industry is doing to the environment. However, there is plenty that we can do to mitigate our impact on our wonderful world – from correct muckheap management, to only buying from feed companies that adhere to an environmental policy themselves. We have produced our own environmental policy, so our customers can be assured that through choosing to stable their horse with us, they’re investing in a greener future for all of us.
