Joining the The British Horse Society

What is the The British Horse Society?

The British Horse Society (BHS) is the UK's largest equine charity. Her Majesty the Queen is Patron of the Society. The BHS is the first port of call for any rider or horse owner for information about where to ride, horse care, riding and road safety, careers in the industry, examinations and training. The BHS works to improve the welfare of horses and advises on safe and rewarding horse riding.

The Society's primary objectives are:

• To promote and advance the education, training and safety of the public in all matters relating to the horse
• To promote the use, breeding, well-being, safety, environment, health and management of the horse for the public benefit
• To promote community participation in healthy recreation involving the horse
• To promote and facilitate the prevention of cruelty, neglect or harm to horses and to promote the relief, safety, sanctuary, rescue and welfare of horses in need of care, attention and assistance
• To promote and secure the provision, protection and preservation of rights of way and of access for ridden and driven horses over public roads, highways, footpaths, bridleways, carriageways, public paths and other land

Why join the BHS?

BHS members receive a wide range of personal benefits depending on the type of membership chosen. In addition to these benefits, members have the knowledge that they are supporting the Society's work to help horses and riders.

The key benefits of Gold Membership include Public Liability and Personal Accident insurance (terms and conditions and territorial limits apply), six issues of British Horse magazine - the UK's highest circulating equestrian magazine, a Members' Welcome Pack including the BHS Yearbook - (packed full of useful information, contacts and special offers), and access to a wide range of expert advice.
