The BHS have partnered with the University of Bedfordshire on a PhD research project to explore how equestrian activities, as well as the horse-human partnership, can impact our mental health and wellbeing. These findings will be critical when it comes to understanding the valuable benefits of equestrian activities and to encourage greater participation across the industry.
To kick start this research project, we are surveying equestrians across the UK to uncover how they are spending time with horses and what impact this is having on them.
To do this, we need your help! You can support us in two ways.
Please share this survey with your network and encourage as many equestrians to take part as possible. Whether they are a rider, owner, employer/employee/volunteer at an equestrian centre/organisation or involved in any other interactions with equines.
If you engage in equestrian activities, please do take a short amount of time out of your day to fill in the survey.
It should take no longer than 20 minutes and will be invaluable to our research. The more people we reach, the better we can understand the relationship between spending time with equines and mental health!
