Britain's horsey facts go online

February 18, 2011

Did you know that 43 per cent of British households include a member with some form of interest in horse sports?

Or that 4.3 million Britons have ridden in the last 12 months? Or that 75 per cent or riders in Britain are women?
The British Horse Society has collated a whole range of statistics to provide a true picture of equestrian activity in Britain.
The society says the information offers insight into the equine industry and equestrian life in Britain, and it expects it will prove extremely useful for journalists, businesses, or those lobbying for change.
The society's director of access, safety and welfare, Mark Weston, said: "The statistics are invaluable for volunteers and professionals campaigning for equestrian rights to safer off-road riding, and the safety and welfare of horses.
"They provide a picture of the scale of equestrian activity in the UK, which is often misunderstood by decision and policy makers."​
