“It’s heartening to welcome so many new members.”

Cosmetics for horses and an online selling platform are among the goods and services offered by recruits to the British Equestrian Trade Association (BETA).

Each application to join BETA is scrutinised by the trade body’s Council, with only reputable firms accepted to join its ranks. Once approved as members, companies can display the BETA logo.

Companies are designated a BETA membership category such as Retail, Trade, Associate or Overseas. These are indicated by a line within the logo.

“It is heartening to welcome so many new members to the fold,” said BETA’s executive director Claire Williams.

“Numerous businesses join BETA for the networking opportunities at the many events we run from conferences and members’ days out to training courses and the BETAs business awards at our Gala Dinner.

“And we certainly have a packed programme lined up in 2026 for members new and long-established.”
