Owning & loaning a horse
If you’re thinking about buying or loaning a horse, make sure you take on board as much information about their care as possible before making your final decision. As well as your love and care, your horse will need a lot of your time and dedication.
Find a livery yard
Make sure you and your horse are in safe hands by choosing one of our BHS Approved Centres. BHS Approval means a yard or establishment is insured for public liability and complies with the latest health and safety legislation, and is regularly subject to unannounced annual inspections for your peace of mind.
Horse care and health information
The BHS Horse Care and Welfare team is here to advise you on all aspects of horse care to ensure that you are equipped with the necessary information to help you look after your beloved horse in the best possible way throughout their life.
Report a welfare concern
If you have personally seen a horse that you are concerned about, please contact the Horse Care & Welfare team. All reports are fully confidential.
Our horse welfare campaigns
We're working towards a world in which the welfare of horses is universally respected, and in which all those who ride, drive or work with horses can do so safely, enjoyably and with the highest personal competence.
Horse passports
Passports are a vital piece of documentation and while form-filling can be a bit onerous, it is really important to comply with all the guidelines. Under current legislation, all horses must be microchipped and have a passport.
