Horse: Horse Keepers’ Survey Shows Improvement in Mucking Routines

To assess the impact of the “Varje Skit Räknas” campaign, initiated in 2019, Race For The Baltic conducted its fifth survey on horse-keeping practices in Sweden this spring. The results from over 2,000 respondents indicate that improved routines for mucking paddocks and winter pastures have been sustained.  

We are pleased to see that there is growing awareness and how organizations such as Greppa Näringen, LIFE IP Rich Waters, Baltic Waters, and Hästnäringens Nationella Stiftelse are taking on and continuing the work. 

 Further, we are proud that our engagement as an Observer to HELCOM and our involvement in updating the Baltic Sea Action Plan have led to the inclusion of horse manure management in Action Point E14. This creates the foundation for even greater impact throughout the Baltic Sea region.
