In February 2025, we released an ambitious strategy for the future direction of the federation, with a clear vision of our role in supporting the equestrian sector, worth an estimated £5 billion to Britain's economy, for future growth and success. Covering 2025 to 2030 and shaped by the British Equestrian Board and executive, with input from staff and member bodies, the document is a road map to unite, inspire and grow Britain’s 4.3 million strong equestrian community for the benefit of everyone who connects with horses.
With an uncompromisable commitment to the guardianship of the horse as our guiding principle, the five-year strategy outlines four key strategic priorities with ‘golden threads’ woven throughout to strengthen every consideration, decision and action. The fundamental values of excellence, respect, integrity, transparency, inclusivity and courage set our culture, while enablers detail the key competencies required to bring the strategy to life and achieve the outlined aims and goals.
British Equestrian’s key strategic priorities for the next five years are:
Equine and human welfare and wellbeing are at the heart of the golden threads, reinforced by partnership and collaboration, equity, inclusion and diversity and environmental sustainability.
