Caring for horses
Guidelines for the minimun standards for keeping horses in urban areas - Factsheet 16
Summary
These guidelines suggest minimum standards for the housing of horses which provide for a more functional and easily maintained environment; happier and healthier horses; fewer complaints from neighbours and, consequently, more enjoyable and rewarding horse ownership.
It must be remembered that some councils do not permit the keeping of horses within their local government area. Those which do permit horses, have a horse stable policy which defines minimum standards. Enquiries should be directed to the relevant local council. Keeping of horses is also regulated by the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act 1979.
