For as many as 125 years, Fieracavalli has focused on what is closest to its heart: the comfort of exhibitors, visitors and riders, but above all the well-being of 2,000 and more horses taking part in the event. The Horse Safety Loop project comprises an updated map of the Exhibition Centre with improvements to boxes and show halls. It also embraces an updated Code of Ethics ensuring that an increasingly safer elective relationship between people and horses is the hallmark of the event.
Cordoned off paths exclusively for horses will be created in the outdoor areas connecting boxes and show halls, thereby ensuring the well-being of horses and allowing everyone to get to know the true protagonists of the trade fair up close and safely. Furthermore, the handling ring around the KIDS AREA will be expanded and the external paths and the floors of boxes and show halls will at last be covered with innovative anti-slip materials ideal for the needs of horses.
Continuing its efforts of safeguard horses and visitors, Fieracavalli has also implemented its own Code of Ethics, adding precise rules not only for exhibitors but also for enthusiasts moving around the exhibition centre over the four days.
“This is an important year for Fieracavalli,” said Maurizio Danese, Managing Director of Veronafiere.
Our show reaches the milestone of 125 editions and equally has decided to invest in further evolution of the format, making the reference event for the sector even safer and more respectful of the specific needs of 2,000 horses and 140,000 people in attendance. The overall aim is to create an even better experience for enthusiasts, riders and trade operators, while especially guaranteeing the highest standards of animal welfare protection. This project reflects the values of Fieracavalli that we are keen to promote to help the growth of the entire equestrian sector.”

The new safety project for horses and visitors.
Fieracavalli celebrates 125 editions this year in Verona 9-12 November, starting from what is closest to its heart: the comfort of exhibitors, visitors and riders, but above all the well-being of 2,000 and more horses taking part in the event. How? Through a project that completely redraws the map of the exhibition centre by implementing improvements to boxes and show halls. The Code of Ethics of the event has also been updated to make the relationship between people and horses even safer in a trade fair context that seeks to promote the entire equestrian sector.
