Muck for your horse and our waters

In cooperation with Sweden’s largest horse riding magazines (Tidningen Ridsport, Häst & Ryttare and Hippson), we distributed information posters to Sweden’s horse community, i.e. primarily equestrian clubs and riding schools. The poster draws attention to the importance of continuously mucking horses' winter paddocks. With this activity we aim to boost mucking frequency and increase knowledge about how horse manure can lead to the eutrophication of waterways, lakes and the Baltic Sea. The poster is designed to be hung up in stables and serve as an encouraging reminder of how horsekeepers can have a positive impact on the Baltic Sea. It also was distributed at the Swedish Horse Show by Tidningen Ridsport and sent out in a stand-alone newsletter to Hippson’s 40 000 subscribers. If you want to help spread the word, just send an email to info@raceforthebaltic.com and request a poster or download it here.
