Horses give us something hard to put into words – a mix of calm, courage, joy and partnership. If you’ve ever felt that connection, you already understand why British Horse Society exists.
As the largest equestrian charity in the UK, we’re here to protect the bond between horses and people. That means making riding safer, strengthening horse welfare, and keeping the places you love to ride open and accessible. It also means helping more people discover the confidence, skills and sense of belonging that horses bring.
Whether your time with horses is a quiet moment in the yard, a weekend hack or a lifelong passion, we want you to feel supported, informed and confident – so you and your horse can enjoy the best life together.
