Be an Ally
Take the Pledge
To SEE the change, I promise to:
Promote a more inclusive culture within equestrian sports by listening to and addressing the concerns of Black, Indigenous, and people of color (BIPOC) within the equestrian community and educating my peers on how to be an effective ally
Use love and understanding to guide my actions as I seek to promote diversity and understand the stories of BIPOC members
Welcome all members of the equestrian community who share in the desire to improve diversity in the sport and create a more inclusive culture
Approach all conversations with an open mind, conduct myself in a professional and polite manner, and remain a positive influence for change
Be a vocal advocate for change within equestrian sports
