The use of the word ‘Ethics’ / ‘Ethical’

The individual’s definition of ‘ethical’ will vary from person to person. However, PEP has a high standard of ethics and this is an organisation which stands for training and care of equines without the use of pain or fear.

What do we mean by pain-free?

To care for and/or train an equine pain free means to commit to not using any equipment, methods or techniques that are physically painful.

What do we mean by fear-free?

To care for and/or train equines fear free means to commit to enhancing their emotional wellbeing by working to reduce fear, stress, and anxiety. Fear free does not mean ignoring or avoiding situations that induce fear, it means not using fear as a means of motivation.
