POV/activism[edit]

The creator/main editor of this article (which is the same editor who earlier wrote the French version [1]) has confused coverage of the topic of "horse welfare" with the "horse welfare movement" (as well as mixing in a good deal of animal rights, animal rights movement, and animal ethics) and have presented much WP:UNSOURCED (WP:Original research) content in wikivoice as fact.

Language such as these few examples (out of many) are problematic:

The exploitation of certain horses for mounted or harnessed equestrian tourism (explotation?)
Nosebands are often too tight (often?)
These foals are put to work at the age of eighteen months, and those who do not adapt to the racecourse are taken out of service (no words!)
All equestrian sports require demanding training and can involve doping (can?)
The use of horses during the filming of television series or films frequently results in problems of animal abuse (frequently?)
However, "progress" was made in 2014 (scare quotes)

This article needs a thorough going-over to remove original research and unsourced content, and any content that isn't related to horse welfare. I know animal rights and welfare have some cross-over, but the topics are actually distinct. Here, there is no distinction made between the movements/ideas.

It is not a surprise that a French translation article I similar tagged, Equine ethics, was also authored by the same wiki editor (though translated by someone else). [2]
