Big name brands and specialist retailers among them.
A retailer of bitless bridles and treeless saddles plus an online dressage competition platform are among the newest members of the British Equestrian Trade Association (BETA).
They join the well-known brand Harry Hall International to become part of the organisation that works in the interests of equestrian businesses and consumers.
To qualify as a BETA member, a company’s credentials must be ratified by existing members and the trade association’s Council.
Once approved, a business can display the BETA sign indicating a reputable company to equestrian shoppers and other firms who trade with it.
BETA runs training courses, hosts networking events and provides legal and commercial guidance to members. The association is a hub of the equestrian trade.
“Many BETA members tell us that being within a community of like-minded people often helps find a solution or inspiration to overcome the issues we all share,” says Claire Williams, BETA’s executive director.

Easy Trek UK (Retail), Abergavenny, Monmouthshire – Retail member – retailer of bitless bridles, treeless saddles and horse accessories
