๐ Young Riders Have Rights โ On and Off the Field ๐
At Equestrian Victoria, we believe every young person deserves to feel safe, respected, and supported in our sport โ whether theyโre in the arena, at the stables, or online.
Being part of equestrian sport today means connecting through team apps, group `chats and social media. Thatโs why itโs so important that our online spaces reflect the same values we uphold in person: respect, safety and fair play.
๐ Young riders have the right to:
โข Be treated with respect, online and offline
โข Participate in sport free from bullying, harassment, or abuse
โข Speak up and get support if something doesnโt feel right
โข 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.
Letโs work together to condemn harmful behaviour and help every young rider feel confident, safe and supported. ๐ดโจ
