Will you help protect horses and support the people who care for them?

Horses give us courage, calm and connection. They bring joy, confidence and freedom. Feelings that stay with us for life.

But that bond is under pressure. Roads are becoming more dangerous, places to ride are disappearing, and the cost of care is rising fast. It’s also harder than ever to sustain equestrian careers and keep riding schools going.

Your donation can make a difference. You’ll help improve welfare, make riding safer, open doors for more people to connect with horses, and keep the feeling they bring alive. For today, tomorrow, and generations to come.

How your donation helps

Donate today

Whether you're making a one-off gift or monthly donation, thank you. You will help ensure horses are protected, respected and well cared for – and that more people, from every background, can share in the joy they bring.

What your support makes possible

We act early, bring people together, and put horses at the heart of everything we do to:

  • Make things safer for people and horses, on and off the roads
  • Protect and connect off-road routes
  • Offer early welfare help to prevent horses from suffering
  • Open doors to horses for people from all backgrounds
  • Support education, training and careers for the next generation

Why donate to BHS?

For more than 75 years, thanks to people like you, BHS has been here to protect horses and support the equestrian community. Donations help us improve welfare, safety, open up access to places to ride, and ensure good education and training.

As the UK’s largest equestrian charity, our work reaches every part of horse life. We offer specialist welfare advice, provide hands-on support when horses need help, campaign for safer roads, champion riding schools, and create pathways for young people to learn and thrive.

Your support helps safeguard the future of horses and the people who care about them. Together, we can keep the bond between horses and people strong for generations to come.
