XENOPHON Society for Classical Riding
Xenophon: The Art of Horsemanship
|
Members [of the Xenophon Society] shall subscribe to and shall deem themselves beholden to the following principles:
• Whoever deals with a horse shall assume the responsibility for the living creature which has been entrusted to him.
• Horses shall be kept in conditions that are in keeping with their natural needs.
• Regardless of the purpose of its use, the horse's physical and psychological health must be regarded as being of the utmost importance.
• Humans are to respect all horses equally, regardless of breed, age and sex, and irrespective of their use in breeding, leisure or sports.
• All knowledge of the horse's history, its needs, as well as its treatment is a historical and cultural treasure, which is to be preserved and transmitted to future generations.
• Any interaction with horses contributes to an important degree to the development of the personality, especially in young individuals. This importance should always be recognized and promoted.
• Any individual who engages in sports activity in partnership with the horse shall submit the horse entrusted to him/her to appropriate training, with the objective of developing the utmost harmony between human and horse.
• The use of the horse in high performance sport or in general riding, driving and vaulting sports shall be determined according to its natural talents, performance aptitude and willingness to perform. Any influence on the horse's performance ability through the use of drugs or un-horsemanship-like actions on the part of the human must be rejected and sanctioned.
• The responsibility of humans toward the horses with whom they have been entrusted also covers the end of the horse's life. This responsibility must always be assumed in the best interest of the horse.
