BHS Ride Out UK We’re British Horse Society. The British Horse Society is the UK’s largest and most influential equestrian charity working to improve equestrian access.

The UK’s largest equestrian charity.

​We champion horse and rider safety, access, education and care, helping every horse and person enjoy that amazing feeling.​
​
We achieve this through an access team at our HQ in Stoneleigh, and a network of more than 200 experienced, voluntary bridleway officers, and a growing 150 Equestrian Access Groups throughout England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. The British Horse Society's Equestrian Access Groups are an important part of our society and not only uphold our values and promote equestrian access at a grass-roots level - they can be a fun, sociable meeting place for riders, carriage drivers and horse lovers, and make a difference for future generations in their area. We encourage the groups to forge links with us, so we can work together for the common good of all horses, riders and drivers. We have nearly 150 Equestrian Access Groups affiliated to us, and would encourage anyone who has an interest in horses and would like to do more to champion equestrian access in your area, to consider joining us. Contact [email protected] or look on our website to find your nearest group. The British Horse Society cannot achieve the great successes we do without members. If you would like to join us, support our work, and reap the benefits of BHS membership, please visit our website www.bhs.org.uk.

🛑🐴 We need your help! Equestrians are being left out of Active Travel plans. 🐴 🛑

We need your help to change that. The Government is investing in new off-road schemes for walking, wheeling and cycling, but equestrians are too often overlooked. That means many equestrians are still forced onto busy roads despite the need for safer off-road access.

Take action today ✅
1️⃣ Discover what Active Travel plans are proposed for your area and find your local Councillor and MP. 🔍
2️⃣ Use our ready-made templates and tools to champion equestrian inclusion and have your say. ✍️
3️⃣ Share this post with fellow riders. Every letter counts, and together we can make a stronger case for change. 🤳

Together, we can secure safer, more inclusive routes for horse riders and carriage drivers across England. 🐎

It's often the things you don't need every day that matter most when you do 🐴

From legal advice when things don't quite go to plan, life with horses can sometimes throw up the unexpected.

That's why many BHS members are surprised to discover that membership offers more than support for horse welfare, safety, access and education. It can also include benefits such as access to a 24/7 legal helpline.

💞 We're here to protect you, the horses you love and the special feeling you share ➡️ https://bit.ly/4z7gIkU

🐴✨ Don't be a dark horse ✨🐴

With the clocks going back tomorrow and darker evenings fast approaching 🌙, it's more important than ever to make sure you're seen when out riding or carriage driving.

Whether you're on-road or off-road, taking a few simple precautions can help keep you and your horse safe:

🦺 Wear hi-vis on both horse and rider
💡 Use LED lights to increase your visibility
✅ Make sure you're insured. Public liability insurance is essential if you hack out. BHS Gold Membership includes Public Liability and Personal Accident insurance, giving you extra peace of mind.

🍂 As the days get shorter, let's make sure everyone can see us and stay safe while hacking this autumn and winter.
