✂️🪒🐴 Hairy horse season is upon us! If you've ever wanted to learn how to clip but haven't had the right person to teach you, or you have some clippers but haven't quite dared try them out, this is the perfect opportunity for you.

Come and join in a two-hour lesson with our Accredited Professional Coach, Emma Roderick Coaching & Mindset, working on some lovely, quiet, sensible horses who won't bat an eyelid at the clippers and are too polite to object if you accidentally slip and make them look a bit daft 😉

At The Fortune Centre, Bransgore, Tuesday 28 October. Two sessions available - 2-4pm (perfect if you need to go and see to your own horses afterwards) and 6-8pm (ideal for those with 9-5 jobs). Book online now at https://buytickets.at/britishhorsesocietysouthregion/1853987

🚦 Safe roads save lives. For horses, riders and drivers.

Following our awareness ride with Project EDWARD from Lambourn to Windsor, we’re encouraged to see equestrian road safety taking centre stage in Parliament. A new bill is calling for stronger rules on speed and distance when passing horses. Vital steps towards protecting both horses and riders 🤝

We campaign to make all road users aware of what to do when they encounter horses on the road. Here's how you can help by asking your MP to support this Bill 👉 https://bit.ly/48uPwm8
