CODE OF CONDUCT AND EQUINE PRACTICES AS ADOPTED BY SWDA: https://saskhorse.ca/Image/About/CodeConduct_April%202019.pdf

Cruel, abusive, or inhumane treatment of a horse at any SWDA competition by an exhibitor, owner, trainer, or other person will not be tolerated anywhere on the grounds under any circumstances. SWDA supports any decision of officials or show committees that remove a horse from a competition due to obvious lameness or exhaustion. Cruelty can be defined as intentionally causing pain or unncessary discomfort to a horse. The standard by such conduct or treatment will be measured is that which a resonable person, informed and experienced in generally accepted equine training and exhibition procedures, would determine to be cruel, excessive, or inhumane.
