Eine tolle Aktion 💖 Seid dabei und helft mit unseren Sport im Sinne der Pferde wieder WERTvoll zu machen 🐴
"Responsible Rider by Julie v. Bismarck" is an initiative for responsible action, against violence in equestrian sports, advocating the traditional values of horsemanship, and aiming to place horse welfare back at the center of equestrian activities, where it belongs.
The logo represents love for the horse, decency, respect, self-discipline and self-reflection, personal development, composure, kindness, helpfulness, kindness, humility, camaraderie, fairness, integrity, courage, perseverance, discipline, generosity, and loyalty to oneself. And, of course, protection of the weaker ones.
These values have largely been forgotten today, not only in equestrian sports. It's time to remember them—for the well-being of our horses and ourselves.
"Responsible Rider by Julie v. Bismarck" is a statement for anyone who feels committed to the protection of horses (and ideally all nature and animals). The logo can be used by anyone (e.g., as a profile frame) who identifies with these values and the initiative and wants to publicly show that responsibility and animal welfare is central to their actions.
Starting next week, the logo will also be available with the simple phrase "BE RESPONSIBLE" for non-riders and everyone who wishes to support the initiative. In my opinion, this might even be a more beautiful message because it actually applies to everything in life.
All proceeds from "Responsible Rider" statement items will go towards promoting horse-friendly riding lessons and education, while those from "Be Responsible" items will support animal and nature conservation projects. If enough people support the initiative, there will also be a competition series, promoting horse-friendly and correct riding, where factors like unloading from the trailer, handling the horse, warming up, the pair's physical condition, composure, and post-competition care will be included in the evaluation. Let´s be the change! More Love, less Ego. ©Julie von Bismarck
