What is the industry’s stance on new inspection technologies?
A – We are encouraged by new technologies that may give us a more consistent and definitive way to inspect horses. Before implementing any new inspection procedure and penalty, we must be assured that the technology has been appropriately tested in the lab and the field and that test results found with Walking Horses are compared to test results found with other livestock and equine breeds. It is important to ensure that new inspection procedures target appropriate substances or practices, so that only those who violate the HPA and/or abuse horses are identified. It is also critically important to ensure that trainers and owners receive guidelines on the use of any new technology to help ensure they can achieve full compliance.
