NEHS 2011 survey reveals top findings
2012 survey planned

The animal welfare charity Blue Cross has published the results of its most recent National Equine Health Survey (NEHS), which is the third such nationwide survey to be undertaken by the charity. The survey was conducted from 14th to 20th November 2011 and drew data from 5,699 horse and ponies and 286 donkeys and mules, which is the largest sample ever assembled by the NEHS.

The British Horse Society, The Pony Club and British Riding Clubs have all pledged their support for the initiative, and Pfizer Animal Health has also announced that it will be sponsoring the 2012 surveys. The next census week is planned for 7th to 13th May 2012. All keepers and owners of horses are welcome to participate and details will remain anonymous. To register, please visit www.bluecross.org.uk/NEHS or email NEHS@bluecross.org.uk

Commenting, Chief Executive of the British Horse Society Graham Cory said “NEHS is already proving to be a valuable guide on the general health of horses and ponies in this country. The British Horse Society and British Riding Clubs are proud to support the project and we hope that all our members will recognise the importance of taking part in the next survey in May.”
