BETA
BETA was formed in 1978 and has grown to be recognised and accepted as the official representative body for the equestrian manufacturing,
wholesale and retail trade by Government and leading riding organisations.
We currently have over 800 member companies, covering a wide range of businesses including not only retailers, wholesalers and manufacturers, but also agents, dealers and many service based businesses. All our members are involved in some way with equestrianism.
We are committed to the promotion of BETA members to the riding public, to on-going market research to inform both our members and the wider equestrian industry on the state of the market and horse riding as a leisure activity.

There are many things to think about when beginning preparations for the upcoming competition season. Not only is it important to have your vet checks, saddle check and fitness plans scheduled, it is also important to think about your horses dietary needs.
Now is a great time to think back to last season and evaluate your horses energy (calorie) requirements. By reflecting on how your horse finished last season, it can give you a head start on how to support their performance from the beginning. We recommend allowing 4-6 weeks for horses to adapt to their new diet to get the full benefits from it.
We would also suggest adding in a nutrition consultation into your preseason checks. This could be from talking to a nutritionist on the phone and discussing any changes needed throughout the season, or having a yard visit where a nutritionist visits your yard, physically assessing your horse and assessing their individual needs. We would also recommend body fat scoring your horse throughout the competition season to keep a track on their weight and condition, you could record this just like you may record your competition results.
Thank you, @saracen_horse_feeds ! Follow #FFF26 and #FeedFactFortnight throughout the next two weeks. We’ve got daily expert tips, live webinars, and amazing prizes to help you master your horse’s nutrition from start to finish! 🏆🌾

We asked AI to design an official BETA Easter egg. We got a multi-million-pound work of equestrian art. We`re still checking our finances to see if we can actually make them… but in a world where a tank of diesel costs more than a decent pony, we figured we`d give you & us something beautiful to look at that doesn`t require a mortgage.
On a more serious note, we know it`s a busy and challenging time for the trade and horse owners. From the entire team at BETA, we wish you a truly restful and peaceful Easter. Whether you are out in the yard or finally putting your feet up, we hope your holiday is filled with peace, happiness, and just the right amount of chocolate. Happy Easter to the whole BETA community!
