The British Eventing Support Trust has launched its website and social media platforms. The BE Support Trust is a new charity set up to provide invaluable support for injured British Eventing members and to improve the safety and wellbeing of the people at the heart of the eventing community.
The trust aims to help riders through difficult times, whether that be recovering from an eventing accident or coping with mental health challenges. It also seeks to promote, research, develop and implement initiatives which will help maintain the overall safety and welfare of our riders.

Chair of the Board of Trustees, Ian Stark OBE FBHS commented, “As a Trustee and Chair, I am absolutely delighted to be involved with the launch of our new charity, The British Eventing Support Trust. We have witnessed the benefit of such support within many sports, especially racing with the hugely influential Injured Jockeys Fund.
“The last two years have created added pressure on many within eventing, so it is particularly appropriate and pertinent that we are here to help our own through the difficulties of injury and mental health struggles. We are here to support British Eventing members in times of need.”
