The most recent and thorough research into the equestrian industry is the National Equestrian Survey 2006, conducted by the British Equestrian Trade Association (BETA) which is a member of the BEF. Sample results:
- Horse owners and riders spend around £4 billion per year
- There are 1.35 million horses in Britain
- They are owned or cared for by 720,000 people, or 1.2% of the UK population
- 4.3 million people have ridden in the last year
See further details and information on how to obtain the full research report on their website at www.beta-uk.org
On a wider scale, the BEF works with other equestrian bodies such as the Horse Racing Authority on the British Horse Industry Confederation. Find out more at www.bhic.co.uk
