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.

They say you can't buy love, but you can certainly pay for the livery, the farrier, the physio, and the specialised supplements... which is basically the same thing, right? 💸🥕
 
This Valentine's Day, we're celebrating the most expensive, time-consuming, and emotionally complex relationship in a woman's life: the bond with a horse. 
 
Whether he's spooking at a rogue crisp packet or resting his head on your shoulder after a long day, there's no love quite like it. Happy Valentine's Day to all the riders who know that a "romantic dinner" usually means a sandwich in the tack room. 🐴❤️ Thanks to @michael_bacon_71 for this wonderful photo.
Feeding your horse isn't just about scoops and buckets; it's about science, health, and having the right people in your corner.
ENFAR Retail Feed Advisers serve as a vital "front line." 
Working within feed stores , they are often the first point of contact for horse owners seeking reliable information to keep their horses thriving.
