The British Equestrian Trade Association’s (BETA) first ever Safety Conference will take place later this year (21 April), hosting expert speakers from across the world and discussing a variety of topics.
The one-day event at Loughborough University is suitable for trade members as well as those from other sectors of the equestrian industry, and will explore a wide range of subjects from latest standards and innovations in safety kit, to fitting an increasingly diverse rider population.
“The BETA Safety Conference has been created due to popular demand with the clear objective of helping to support all parts of the trade through providing useful information that will tangibly help with sales, fitting, safety, and supporting customers in making more informed choices,” said Claire Williams, Executive Director of BETA.
“BETA is known for safety – setting the standard when it comes to body protectors and being involved in international committees arounds hats and other safety equipment. We offer training and support for our membership, and being able to provide a way of sharing research and information that will help our members and their customers too is very much what we as an association are all about.”
The conference programme has been designed for members of the trade as well as members of riding bodies and disciplines, coaches, and riding school proprietors with an interest in increasing knowledge and understanding of rider safety.
