Join us on 22nd February 2027 for the BETA AGM & Equestrian Business Summit, a full day of networking and expert speakers under the theme “Building a resilient future: the changing face of the equestrian trade.”
The morning looks at the wider picture, with insight into the economy, the changes on the horizon for HR in 2027, how to market to younger riders as the UK’s under-16 social media ban approaches, and where politics and government relations are heading.
In the afternoon, we turn to our own industry, exploring how the sport is evolving, how to build resilient relationships across the trade, and what is really happening on the retail floor.
📍 Hilton East Midlands Airport Hotel, DE74 2YZ, close to the M1 and well connected by rail, road and air.

What are your plans with your horses this November as winter truly sets in? Let us know in the comments below! 👇
As the colder weather sets in, older horses and ponies can become more susceptible to impaction colic. Ageing brings natural changes to digestion, influenced by factors such as dental decline and difficulty chewing, reduced water intake during winter, and decreased gut movement.
Thank you to @_agplus for sharing this guidance to help keep our veteran horses healthy, hydrated, and comfortable this winter!
