The Department of Health and Regulatory Services has a statutory responsibility to enforce animal health and welfare regulations within the borough.
The Riding Establishments Acts 1964 and 1970 state that no person shall keep a riding establishment except under the authority of a licence granted in accordance with the provisions of this act by a local authority.
A riding establishment will be inspected regularly to ensure that the accommodation is suitable in size and design and well maintained. The horses/ponies will undergo a veterinary inspection to ensure that they are in good health and physically fit for the purpose.
If you require any further information or have any concerns about an establishment please e-mail us at regulatory@fareham.gov.uk or telephone on 01329 236100.
