BETA

BETA was formed in 1978 and has grown to be recognised and accepted as the official representative body for the equestrian manufacturing,
wholesale and retail trade by Government and leading riding organisations.

We currently have over 800 member companies, covering a wide range of businesses including not only retailers, wholesalers and manufacturers, but also agents, dealers and many service based businesses. All our members are involved in some way with equestrianism.

We are committed to the promotion of BETA members to the riding public, to on-going market research to inform both our members and the wider equestrian industry on the state of the market and horse riding as a leisure activity.

🎉 BIG NEWS! The Equestrian Nutritionist and Feed Adviser Register (ENFAR) is officially LIVE! 🎉
Developed by BETA (British Equestrian Trade Association), ENFAR is here to promote the highest standards of evidence-based advice for horse owners and the equestrian industry.

The register allows you to:
• ✅ Verify that a professional is conducting themselves according to the BETA ENFAR Code of Best Practice.
• 🔎 Search for a qualified Equestrian Nutritionist or Feed Adviser based on their qualifications and experience.

How to use ENFAR:
• Verifying someone is on the register: Searching for someone by name will confirm whether they are currently on the register and their credentials such as qualifications and experience.
• Searching for a nutritionist: If you are seeking the services of a nutritionist, you can select the criteria you want to search by, such as qualifications. If a nutritionist isn’t currently able to accommodate new clients, they won’t appear in the search results.
• Searching for a feed adviser: Feed advisers are more likely (but not always) based in a specific geographical location, so please consider this when conducting a search.

To find out more, search the directory, or see the Code of Best Practice today!
