Keep Britain Riding: new campaign to help schools

A NEW campaign aims to help “safeguard the future of equestrianism” and “protect the horse-human bond” for future generations.

The British Horse Society’s (BHS) Keep Britain Riding campaign has been created in response to the society’s nationwide survey, which revealed that more than 250 riding schools have closed since 2018 (news, 9 March).

The campaign aims to raise funds and celebrate the horse-human relationship and the benefits it brings, and increase diversity in the industry. Equestrians are being encouraged to share photos and videos of their horses and what they mean to them using the hashtag #horsehumanbond.
