Visit
The British Horse Society at the Mitsubishi Motors Badminton
Horse Trials
|
Well
you can tell spring is here with the start of the Mitsubishi Motors
Badminton Horse Trials, Thursday 29 April - Sunday 1 May, next week,
and as usual the BHS will have a trade stand at the event.
This
year brings an action packed stand. Not only will it be full of
horse books and gifts, information and members of the BHS staff
to answer all your queries, book signings with some top eventing
stars, and the launch of new BHS Welfare initiatives will take place.
The
'First Horse Owner Information Pack' will make its debut appearance
to the public on Saturday 1 May. Produced by the Welfare department
in response to over 30,000 welfare queries a year, the pack aims
to provide prospective horse owners, and new owners, with information
ranging from how much it costs to keep a horse or pony, to advice
on feeding, vaccinations, and worming.
The
other exciting BHS Welfare initiative to take place is the launch
of the 'BHS Equi Care' magazine. This publication will complement
the 'First Horse Owner Information Pack' and will focus on various
aspects of horse care and welfare, including a breed fact file.
Both
international event riders William Fox-Pitt and Blyth Tait will
be signing copies of their latest books. Publishers David &
Charles will be launching the new William Fox-Pitt book 'Schooling
for Success' on Friday 30 April at 6pm, and William will be available
to sign copies. On Saturday 1 May Blyth Tait will visit the stand
at 11am and 2pm to sign copies of 'Cross Country with Blyth Tait'.
The
British Horse Society will be at stand number 109 for the four days
of the event, and BHS staff will be sporting some great clothing
kindly donated by Javlin. Do come along and visit, and see what
the BHS has achieved since last year, browse the wide range of equestrian
books and gifts, and rub shoulders with some of Eventings' Greats.
Remember, British Horse Society and British Riding Clubs members
are entitled to a 10% discount on production of their membership
card.
