The role of the EWIO is to ensure the required standards of equine welfare and integrity are maintained both in and around the Stable Yard. They do this by checking and recording the accreditation of all those entering the stables. They also identify all of the horses when they arrive at the stables. This is done by scanning the horse’s individual microchip number and reconciling it against the list of the day’s runners.
