Keep yourself and your horse safe with simple saddle checks
As part of BETA Summer of Safety, we’ve teamed up with Bates Saddles to highlight the importance of regular saddle inspections.
Your saddle is your connection to your horse, taking just a few minutes to check it can make a big difference to safety and comfort.
What to look for:
☑️ Girth points & mounts – dryness, cracks, stretched holes or worn stitching
☑️ Stirrup bars – secure and functioning properly
☑️ Saddle tree – excessive flex or unusual sounds
☑️ Panels – evenly soft with a wide, consistent channel
☑️ Leather condition – supple, well-conditioned, rich in colour
If you notice wear or damage, contact your nearest Bates Saddles stockist for advice.

Boot dips! Using a boot dip on the way into and out of a yard, helps stop the spread of infectious diseases.
But remember to stand in the dip long enough to sing the chorus of “staying alive” 🎶🎤
This will ensure the sole and tread of your boots are properly covered with our EndoSan disinfectant! 👌

🌡️ Remember CHILL this summer- Thanks to our member @equell_performance_supplements for
five simple steps to keep your horse cool, safe and comfortable when the temperature climbs:
🟢 Cool - with water, continuously, without scraping
💧 Hydrate - clean, cool water always available
🔍 Inspect - watch for rapid breathing, lethargy or poor appetite
☀️ Limit exercise - avoid high heat index times and intense sun
🌳 Look after recovery - use shade and electrolytes before/after exercise
Every horse is different, so know what`s normal for yours - and don`t rush the process in hot weather.
Want the full breakdown, including our heat index chart and exactly when it`s too hot to ride? Guide linked in the comments below 👇
Stay cool out there 💚

🚨 DUCHESS HAS BEEN KIDNAPPED! 🚨
We are absolutely devastated to share that Duchess, our mechanical horse, has gone missing from the yard at our offices, along with our BETA branded horse trailer.
Please keep your eyes peeled. If you see Duchess or the grey Williams trailer, or if you spot anyone online trying to sell a mechanical horse or trailer matching this description, please contact us immediately. Please SHARE this post far and wide to help us get the word out. Let`s make Duchess way too hot to handle!
🔍 What to look out for:
The Horse: A life-sized, black mechanical horse with BETA logo printed on the side.
The Trailer: A silver/grey double horse trailer featuring BETA logos on the side and back, probably gone! It doesn’t have a front ramp so quite distinctive.
Our phone number is +44 (0)1937587062; you can email us at claire@beta-uk.org or send a message on social media.
