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.

🏆 Celebrate the Classics with the NEW "Test of Time" Award! 🏆
Is there a specific piece of equipment in your tack room that you simply couldn’t live without? As part of the BETAs 2026, we are thrilled to introduce the Test of Time Award—a category dedicated to the iconic products!
Unlike awards that focus on the latest trends, this accolade honours valued equestrian products and equipment that have made a lasting impact on the horse or rider and remain popular year after year.
We are looking for the "true originals" that have proven their worth over a decade of use. Here is what you need to know:
Who can nominate? Manufacturers, retailers, and members of the public are all invited to submit their favorites.
What qualifies? Products (not brands) that are currently available on the UK market and have been for at least 10 years (since at least January 1st, 2016).
You can nominate up to five products, but only one vote can be placed per product category.
All nominations will be shortlisted for a final vote to identify the ultimate overall winner.
All entries must be submitted by 4th May 2026.
Link to the nomination form in the comments >>>
Head to the BETA website now to submit your nominations and give your favourite "tried and tested" products the recognition they deserve! Join us as we celebrate industry excellence.
