Yes, it is indeed a poignant aspect of horse welfare; letting them run.
The ability for horses to engage in natural behaviors, such as galloping, is important for their physical and mental well-being.
Horses that are kept in confined spaces or those used primarily for specific tasks may have limited opportunities to express their natural behaviors.
While some horses are fortunate to have the freedom to gallop in open spaces, others may spend their lives in more restricted environments.
This can be due to various factors, including the type of work they're trained for, living conditions, or the constraints of their surroundings.
Promoting environments that allow horses to engage in natural behaviors, like running and socializing, is crucial for their overall health and happiness.
Where the above is not possible, then alternative ways of allowing the horses to move freely should be considered, like for example whilst riding.
It's a reminder of the responsibility that comes with caring for these majestic animals and considering their needs beyond practical utility ♥
