Here at Equine Rescue Services, we work hard to ensure that all our media is accessible to people who have visual, hearing, motor or cognitive impairments.

Accessibility is a partnership between site producers and the creators of the operating system, browser, and specialist assistive technologies which many disabled users employ to allow them, for example, to view websites in easier-to-read colours, with larger fonts, or as spoken text.

As such technologies have become more available and sophisticated, we will:

• ensure that its media work well with these assistive technologies to ensure an accessible experience for disabled users;
• provide Accessibility Help (below) which will guide users in customising their computers (either by explaining the accessibility features of their operating system or browser, or by introducing them to the range of assistive technologies which are available) to provide them with the most accessible web experience, not just for our website, but all websites;
• in those instances where the specific accessibility needs of some disabled user groups require us to create new or repurposed editorial content, we will do this, wherever appropriate, so that we become more inclusive to a wider audience online.

Images

We have used images throughout this web site to add interest and provide variety. These images have been kept as small as possible and should load quickly. In some cases you are able to click through to a larger version of an image from a thumbnail example.

Each image is accompanied by an Alternative Text or "ALT" tag which provides a description of an image or a function. ALT tags are accessed by placing your mouse over the image.

Printer friendly / text-only versions

Our website is printer-friendly and will print out without background images and colours and unnecessary text. A "text-only" version of our website will also be used for handheld, aural and braille devices.
