We need a deep understanding of the nature of the horse.
We respect its basic needs.
We are constantly willing to learn for the horse.
We treat the horse as a partner with respect and responsibility.
The hashtag #doitride combines the pun „Do it right“ with horse riding – which in this case stans for all forms of interaction with the horse.
Anyone who is committed to the welfare of the horse and wants to alter equestrian sport in a positive way. Horse owners, riders, stable managers, breeders, trainers, people responsible in the horse industry, horse lovers and anyone who wants to join in.
No. The important thing is that you share our attitude. We all make mistakes. You never stop learning, especially when riding. We are of the opinion that horses deserve gratitude and respect for teaching us to be better (horse) people.
If you think so too, then you’ve come to the right place with our campaign!
You can participate by using the hashtag #doitride in your social
media posts, sharing videos of you and your horse, taking part in #doitride activities
and spreading the message of the campaign. It would be great, especially at the start of the campaign, if you post a statement in which you say: „I support #doitride because …“
We take criticism of equestrian sport seriously. Our campaign is a response to this. The more people join in, the more we can achieve together.
There are various ways, starting with the use of the
hashtag. We are open to ideas – feel free to contact us directly!
The #doitride campaign is designed as an ongoing project and has no fixed end. We are aiming to bring about a long-term change in awareness and behavior in equestrian sport nationally and internationally.
Images of tortured horses, be it through rude training methods, improper behavior or sadistic abuse, have become more frequent in recent times.
Again and again, horses are the ones that sufferer. The ones that have to silently endure what people do to them through ignorance, indifference, exaggerated ambition
ambition and/or greed. The voices that want to abolish the use of horses are getting louder and louder. Let us all change this together!
Together we can show the world: The love and devotion that most people share for their horses is beyond the limits. To them the horse’s welfare always comes first. These are the people that the #doitride campaign was made for.
You can take part by using the hashtag #doitride in your social media posts, sharing videos of you and your horse, taking part in #doitride activities and spreading the message of the campaign.
Create a short video for your social media channels in which you recite the claim „I support #doitride because…“, followed by a short statement about why you care about the campaign and why you support it.
Encourage your friends to join in, too. The more the merrier. Together we can show the world that we horse lovers are made of different stuff than the people who cause viral scandals.
