BEST PRACTICES

We have in place Standards of Practice within our organization that far exceed the comprehensive City of Victoria operating regulations. Our primary focus is on horse health (mental and physical) proper harness fit, individual daily nourishment, and considerate partnering of horses.

It is not an exaggeration to say the stewardship we provide for VCT horses is second to none within the industry. We are motivated every day to continue seeking innovative means of care and practice within our organization.

Victoria Carriage Tours has a collaborative relationship with the BC SPCA. Licensing requirements include ad hoc herd and farm inspections performed by the BC SPCA and City of Victoria Bylaws. We abide by the principles of the 5 Freedoms of Animal Welfare and adhere to Canada’s Code of Practice for the Care and Handling of Equines.
