One of our main objectives is promoting knowledge of equine care by providing support and learning opportunities. By utilising education to raise awareness and knowledge, Bransby Horses aims to improve equine welfare and therefore, reduce the suffering and neglect experienced by equines nationwide.
We have a proactive approach to learning and therefore we are lucky enough to have connections with leading experts in the equine field, covering a broad range of subjects which allows us to continually develop and improve our own standards and expertise. By sharing this information amongst our supporters, equine owners and professionals, we can work together to promote and improve equine welfare.
Bransby Horses supports education in a number of ways including:
