PUBLICATIONS UK: 2008 British Equestrian Directory
released
With its listing of 21,000 equestrian specialists and businesses
in more than 250 categories, the 2008 British Equestrian Directory (BED) is now available. Each
entry comes complete with telephone number, website and email addresses for instant access to everything equestrian from riding
schools to tackshops, equine dentists to livery yards. The BED is packed with
information it’s impossible to find elsewhere, even on the internet. New
for 2008 are animal sitters, allergy control specialists, clipping services, equestrian estate agents, hay and haylage suppliers,
horse walker manufacturers, freeze marking services, recruitment agencies and event horse breeders. The updated BED also contains revised listings of equine therapists including those specialising in acupuncture,
aromatherapy, hydrotherapy and herbal remedies; while firm favourites range from side-saddle and dressage trainers to rosette
suppliers, cross country courses for hire and fencing contractors. Whatever your
equestrian interest, the BED can help you track down that elusive contact. Western
retailers, nutritionists, magazines, shipping agents and bridleway groups are featured, along with farriers, Icelandic horse
breeders and animal behaviourists. The BED is priced at just £16 postage free
in the UK.

Ü Breaking
the Strangles hold
In February 2007, the Animal Health Trust (AHT) and British Horse Society (BHS)
launched a nationwide Strangles Campaign, which has two aims. The first is to raise awareness of this dreadful equine plague,
and the second is to gain support for the research programme.
For this, the target is to raise £250,000 to fund research into the next stages
of the development of improved means of diagnosis and prevention – ultimately to eradicate this terrible disease.
The campaign was launched by the President of the AHT, HRH The Princess Royal,
at the Royal Society of Medicine in London. It continues to make great progress, with the total raised so far standing at
£159,000.
