This August, Riders Minds is inviting the equestrian community to come together for Riders Minds Day, united by this year's poignant theme: Stand Strong.
Taking place on 9th August, Riders Minds Day is an opportunity to wear purple and raise awareness of mental health across the equestrian community, encourage meaningful conversations, and remind everyone involved with horses that no one has to face life's challenges alone.
Whatever your involvement in the equestrian industry, Riders Minds believes that mental wellbeing is something we all have a role in protecting. This year's theme celebrates the strength that comes from standing together, supporting one another, and recognising that asking for help is a sign of courage, not weakness.
Throughout Riders Minds Day, individuals, organisations and businesses across the industry are encouraged to show their support by wearing purple, checking in with others, starting conversations around mental wellbeing, and highlighting the support available through Riders Minds.
