Every year, The British Horse Society is inundated with ragwort concerns from equestrians, many of whom invest large amounts of time and money in trying to control the weed.
Therefore, we are delighted to announce that we are working with Defra to launch an exciting new research project to discover the real facts about ragwort and horses.
Our new survey will gather data from across England on the perceptions and reality of the impact of ragwort. The results will inform measures to ensure the appropriate use of the Weeds Act 1959, the Animal Welfare Act 2006 and other relevant legislation.
We need your help now. By completing the ten-minute survey, you’ll help us establish a true picture of the situation.
Please take the time to complete the survey by clicking here. Even better, once you have done this, please forward to your friends and family and ask them to take part.
The survey closes on Friday 15 August 2014, so don’t miss this chance – have your say and help us make the biggest difference we can.
