Recognition & Accreditation

Support to design and implement credible sustainability recognition and accreditation for equestrian organisations and programmes.

Structured recognition that means something

Recognition and accreditation schemes give riders, owners, regulators and partners confidence that sustainability is being delivered, checked and improved over time. They move beyond good intentions to clearly defined standards, criteria and evidence.

Greener Horses works with organisations to design, implement or participate in sustainability recognition schemes that are aligned with welfare, safety and quality requirements.

How we can help

  • Defining levels or tiers of recognition and what each level requires.
  • Developing criteria that are realistic, outcome-focused and evidence-based.
  • Designing application, review and renewal processes that are practical to run.
  • Building checklists, self-assessment tools and on-site review approaches.
  • Aligning recognition with existing regulatory or sporting frameworks.

Our aim is to ensure that recognition is both credible and supportive – encouraging improvement rather than adding unnecessary complexity.
