With your help, we can continue to protect, honour, and celebrate these wonderful horses long into the future.
By leaving a legacy gift in your will to the BHS, you can not only pass on your love for horses to the next generation, but to many generations to come.
Our work would simply not be possible without the kind gifts supporters leave us in their wills.

- Beneficiary designations where a charity becomes a named beneficiary of certain accounts
- Charitable trusts which provide ongoing support for a designated charity
- Gifts of property such as real estate, artwork, or other valuable assets
