Jerez de la Frontera becomes the center of legal debate on equine protection with a crucial technical session for owners, riders, and professionals in the sector.

The Royal Andalusian School of Equestrian Art will be the setting for a fundamental meeting to understand the implications of recent regulations in the field of animal welfare. This event, aimed at those seeking legal certainty in their daily activities, is presented as an unmissable appointment.
Under the title “The new legal regime on animal welfare,” the session on Friday, April 10, will delve into the latest legislative changes. It is part of the 2025-2026 academic cycle organized by the prestigious Jerez institution and is supported by the Royal Academy of San Dionisio of Sciences, Arts and Letters.
Prof. Dr. Luis Javier Gutiérrez Jerez, Professor of Civil Law, will lead the presentation, breaking down the critical points of the new regime. His experience will offer a clear vision of the legal obligations that the sector must immediately comply with, addressing the complexity of current laws.
The new laws not only impact direct animal treatment but also transform the administrative management of equestrian centers. Owners must adapt their protocols to avoid sanctions and ensure the required standards, with clarity in interpreting the regulations being vital for the sustainability of the horse industry.
This course will provide the necessary tools to integrate new demands without compromising project viability, offering in-depth knowledge of current legal texts. Animal welfare is now a strict legal mandate, and Jerez demonstrates its leadership by spearheading these essential conversations for the future of equestrian traditions.
