| Summary: | Equestrianism in its various disciplines, which include eventing, show jumping and dressage, is an ancient sport tracing its origins back to the bronze age and has been an Olympic sport since ancient times. It is popular not only with horsemen and women but also with spectators around the world. This is especially so in The Netherlands, where equestrianism is widely practised as a sport at the amateur and elite levels and keenly followed by supporters and spectators alike. But unfortunately, like any other sport upon which much depends, equestrianism is subject to disputes of various kinds, including doping of both horses and riders. Disputes also arise out of the sale and purchase of sport horses, including disputes of a veterinary nature, for example, is the horse that has been sold ‘ fit for purpose’ in a veterinary sense?
