About 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.

How to deep clean your feed room! 

Ceiling, walls, floor and feed tin coated in detergent, to trap pathogens and loosen organic matter! 

Leave for 20 mins.

Clean all areas including the inside of the feed tin.

Final rinse of ceiling, walls, floors and feed tin in EndoSan disinfectant. 

And leave to dry!

Why is it important to de-cobweb and clean your feed room? 

1. Cobwebs hold dirt, damp, spores, mould, fungus and bacteria that can be released back into the environment if they’re disturbed!

2. Remove dirt and organic matter that breed pathogens and attract rodents!

3. Keep your horses feed free from, mould, fungus, spores and bacteria, that have a negative impact on their gut health! 

Hygiene is the basis of all bio-security measures! 
Thank you @_agplus for this BSOS  post

Welcome to August! 🌳🐎

As we kick off the new month, with the August photo from the BETA calendar, featuring this stunning view captured by our very own Claire Williams during a hack through the woods.

Looking back at last summer, everything was so deeply green—while this year’s dry spells have certainly changed our hacking tracks a bit! How is the ground looking on your hacking tracks right now compared to this time last year?

August is packed with fantastic events and competition highlights across the equestrian world—from the Dublin Horse Show and Equifest to the World Equestrian Games in Aachen and the JCB Pony Club National Championships and Scone Palace International Horse Trials.

With so much out-and-about activity happening, it's also the heart of our BETA Summer of Safety campaign! Remember to keep safety first, check your equipment, and look out for our top tips and member advice.

📸 Coming Soon: Enter Our 2027 Calendar Competition!
Do you have a fantastic eye for capturing wonderful equestrian moments?  Get your cameras ready because our 2027 Calendar Photo Competition is launching soon!
Start sorting through your favourite photos from your summer hacks and yard snaps, and stay tuned for full details on how and where to submit your entries!
