🔔📢The BHS are delighted to be joined by Dr Chris Pearce and Dr Nicole du Toit from the Equine Dental Clinic for a dental webinar. 📢 🔔

🐴 ⚠️Up to 70% of horses have undiagnosed dental problems that may mean they’re suffering silently with unnecessary pain. This webinar will take you through our No Pain? Check Again campaign to look at common issues and signs to look for. We will look at the facts, beliefs, myths and queries around the topic including who can perform a dental assessment, how often you should do so and what to expect during a dental check-up.⚠️🐴

📌📆Join in - 27 November at 7pm on MS Teams.

We need your votes ✨

We’re delighted that a BHS and Nottingham Trent University project has made it to the final of the UK Knowledge Exchange Awards and YOU can help them win. 🏆

Please vote at the following link: https://bit.ly/448iWDw The project title is: ‘The Science Behind a Happy Horse: A strategic partnership for equine welfare & educational equality’.

🐴 The aim was to help improve equine welfare and provide career opportunities for degree students by creating an inclusive, dedicated work-placement module.

🖊️Together they’ve co-created educational resources on equine asthma and allergies with a specific focus on Sweet Itch. The final resources have reached thousands of horse owners across the communication channels.

We hope you feel inspired to vote 😊

📖Serious Incident Planning - Tuesday 18 Nov - 7:30pm📖

This session will help you prepare for the unexpected and manage any serious incidents at your club activities, effectively, and confidently. You’ll learn how to plan ahead, respond calmly under pressure, and complete the essential paperwork and reporting required after an incident. Together, we’ll explore real-life scenarios and discuss how good preparation can make all the difference when things don’t go to plan.

We’ll cover why serious incident planning is so important, what steps to take before, during, and after an emergency, and what support is available to you as an organiser. By the end, you’ll feel more able to carry out reasonable and practicable event planning, and handle any incidents with confidence and care.

⚠️ Fireworks and horses: the risks are real.

Since 2021, we’ve recorded:
💔 26 horse fatalities
🐴 121 horses injured
🧑 33 people injured

These are more than just numbers... they represent lives forever changed.

Every incident matters. If fireworks impact you or your horse tonight, report it via the Horse i app. Your report helps us campaign for change and build a clearer picture of what’s happening across the UK.

This allows us to actively lobby for stronger legislation through the Fireworks Impact Coalition... working with MPs, partners and campaigners to better protect horses and their owners from these preventable incidents.
