Better Beginnings for a Better Life - Conference videos

We had an amazing conference at Weatherbys in October and are excited to announce that the videos of the sessions and discussions will be released over the coming months.

We’re starting with the first session: “Positive Mental Attitude,” presented by Professor Brad Hill. You can watch the video of this session now on Vimeo.

We will be releasing one video each month, so be sure to check back regularly for the latest updates!

WELCOME

Welcome to The British Horse Foundation. A registered UK charity whose mission is to promote “Better Beginnings” for horses, improving their breeding, youngstock training and development for ongoing sustainable well being, by seeking and sharing evidence based best practice.

WHAT WE DO

The British Horse Foundation was established as a charity in 1991 under the Chairmanship of triple Olympic gold medal winner Richard Meade OBE. Our vision is to promote collaborative education and research with the aim of advancing the breeding of horses and ponies that are fit for purpose by helping breeders make good breeding decisions.

We are a conduit for collaboration between like-minded charities and organisations facilitating research and education to help breeders make informed decisions which will result in the breeding of quality, fit for purpose, youngstock.
We facilitate and fund research, alongside other charities and groups, to advance equine welfare.

BREEDING

Advocating the breeding of quality youngstock

The BHF support the breeding of horses and ponies which are fit for purpose. To achieve this, we collaborate with those who help us conduct research and provide education to a wide variety of breeders. From the one-off homebred to large-scale stud operations, we work to understand the factors that affect peoples' decision to breed so that we can target our research and education to ensure the UK continues to produce top quality youngstock.
