Organisation profile
We’re proud to have been right at the heart of UK equestrian for the past 25 years, providing us with a valuable insight into how we can provide meaningful support to the industry.
Our world-class facilities, including advanced riding simulators within the Margaret Centre for Rider Performance Centre, and international events mean we’re in an outstanding position to respond to the needs of horse welfare and sport.
Our far-reaching research is helping to advance equine practice, improving treatment for injuries, developing knowledge in rider biomechanics, and optimising horse and rider performance.
Working with a global network of partners, including the British Equestrian Federation and the Animal Health Trust, our equine facilities and the latest scientific expertise are enabling us to play a valuable part in driving the industry forwards.
