About 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.
