Clean Sport for All 🐴

📆 Wednesday 24 June
⏰ 7-8pm

Join Sandra Hill, Equine Anti-Doping Programme Manager at British Equestrian, as she highlights why clean sport matters. 🐎

Equine anti-doping protects horse welfare, ensuring no substances are used to mask injury or illness, and keeps competition fair for all. Whether you're a seasoned competitor, or stable with someone who is, it's important for all horse owners to understand best practice when it comes to caring for our equines. 💚

Together, we can uphold integrity, fairness, and respect for every horse. 🫱🏻‍🫲🏻

⭐Celebrating those championing equine welfare⭐

🏆Our BHS Welfare Awards are given for excellent service in the cause of equine welfare.

Last years winner was the South’s very own Debbie Payne!

Debbie became a volunteer Horse Care & Welfare Adviser in 2023. Since then, she has attended numerous welfare concerns and always deals with them in an empathetic but professional manner.

She regularly attends training sessions, enabling her to give the most relevant and up-to-date advice to horse owners. Debbie is always super responsive and is also a wonderful mentor to one of our newer HCWAs

Do you know someone who champions equine welfare like Debbie? Why not nominate them for a BHS Welfare Award?
