Standards for Horse Care in SC |
| ||
A SC Horsemen’s Council Publication! Designed for animal control and law enforcement as a tool for those who have never seen or really been around horses when they go out to see cases to evaluate complaints or concerns.
The goal of this manual is to provide a source of reference for animal owners, animal care officers, and individuals who are interested in the general well-being of horses, ponies, mules, and donkeys.
It is our intent to provide a useful and informative manual for those who are inexperienced as well as those who are experienced in caring for and evaluating the minimal standard of care for a horse in the state of South Carolina.
The manual is a source of information and facts that will provide an objective guide to assess the caretaking and well-being of all horses and more often a horse that is suspected to be suffering from neglect or mistreatment. This reference is to be used as an aid when assessing horses based on the recommendations of the SC Horse Council, SC Farm Bureau Equine Committee, Clemson University Extension, Clemson University Animal and Veterinary Sciences Department, and SC Association of Veterinarians.
