These standards and codes are enforced during competitions and should also be respected during daily training and horse handling. No horse should enter competition until preparatory training ensures it is mentally and physically ready.

Horses used in tourism require special care. Whether for trekking, carriage rides, or other activities, it's essential that handlers meet all welfare needs including rest, water, feed, weather protection, proper equipment, and hoof care.

Responsible breeding practices are crucial. Horses with hereditary diseases or birthing difficulties should not be bred. Mares shouldn't be bred before 3-4 years of age to ensure proper growth.

For foaling preparation, mares should be kept in the foaling environment for about one month prior. Vaccinations against influenza, tetanus, and potentially Herpes Virus should be administered approximately three weeks before expected foaling to ensure antibody transfer through colostrum.
