🌟 Young Riders Have Rights — On and Off the Field 🌟
At Equestrian Victoria, we believe every young person deserves to feel safe, respected, and supported in our sport — whether they’re in the arena, at the stables, or online.
Being part of equestrian sport today means connecting through team apps, group `chats and social media. That’s why it’s so important that our online spaces reflect the same values we uphold in person: respect, safety and fair play.
💛 Young riders have the right to:
• Be treated with respect, online and offline
• Participate in sport free from bullying, harassment, or abuse
• Speak up and get support if something doesn’t feel right
• Enjoy positive, safe experiences when connecting with their sport community
If a young person ever experiences online abuse, help is available. Visit eSafety.gov.au/sport for easy steps on recognising, reporting and managing unsafe online behaviour.
Let’s work together to condemn harmful behaviour and help every young rider feel confident, safe and supported. 🐴✨
