Marking the anniversary of the horsemeat scandal, Horse & Country TV will broadcast a special program featuring HRH The Princess Royal’s speech from the recent World Horse Welfare Conference, which considered ‘Horses in the Next Generation’.

This is the first time The Princess Royal’s speech, in which she suggested that horse welfare could be improved by the commercial sale of horsemeat in UK supermarkets, will have been shown in full on national television. The 30-minute program will be aired on Horse & Country TV (Sky Channel 280) on Wednesday, January 15, 2014 at 7:30 p.m.

In her speech, Princess Anne suggested British attitudes towards eating horsemeat may have to change in the face of Britain’s ‘Horse Crisis’ where almost 7,000 horses are at risk of neglect and abandonment.
