Why not shop until you drop this Christmas and help a British rare breed at the same time?

Check out the Cleveland Bay Horse Society’s website at www.clevelandbay.com to see the range of merchandise on offer and to print off an order form.

All proceeds will go towards protecting this rare British horse, of which there are less than 250 pure bred mares of breeding age left throughout the world.

The site offers Christmas cards featuring Cleveland Bay horses, plus a stylish watch, table mats and chopping boards, wine goblets, whisky tumblers, tea towels, mugs, wallets, golf umbrellas, and many other items which would make great gifts and stocking fillers for Christmas.

The Cleveland Bay Horse Society (CBHS) is a registered charity (Reg. Charity No. 293872) which was set up to protect and promote the Cleveland Bay horse which remains on the Rare Breed Survival Trust’s critical list.

Based in Murton, near York, the Society aims to raise funds as well as awareness of the plight of this ancient British breed which originated in the Cleveland Hills.

It is vitally important to engage the support of British breeders, riders and breeding organisations to help maintain their existence, but even if you do not own, breed or ride a Cleveland, another way of supporting the charity is to become a member of the Society for just £35 per year (£45 for overseas members).
