British Horse Society |
The British Horse Society was founded in 1947 as the result of the amalgamation of two organisations, the Institute of the Horse and Pony Club and the National Horse Association of Great Britain. It is a registered charity (number 210504) and, as such, its activities are overseen by the Charity Commissioner |

Association of British Riding Schools |
The ABRS has Britain's longest established riding school approval scheme (since 1954). It is the only organisation solely representing professional riding school proprietors and is thus ideally placed to assist and guide young people seeking careers with horses. It has a wide ranging examination and testing system which enables teenagers to build up worthwhile gradings and certificates in preparation for leaving school and taking up full time training. |

The
International League for the Protection of Horses was founded in 1927 by
Miss Ada Cole, the main aim being to prevent the ill-treatment of horses
exported to Europe for slaughter. It has grown to become the world’s
leading international equine welfare charity.
The ILPH runs five Recovery and Rehabilitation Centres with around three hundred equines in our care at any one time. Fifteen full time ILPH field officers, nearly all ex-policemen, investigate cases of cruelty and neglect, inspect markets and ports and also check the horses on the ILPH's horse loan scheme. Nearly 2000 rehabilitated horses and ponies have now been found approved homes. |

At Dunbar Equine Osteopathic Clinic we work closely with Veterinary Practices to help establish an effective treatment protocol for your horse. Just as human Osteopathy is an established and effective treatment for many musculo-skeletal problems, most Vets now recognise the benefits of Osteopathic treatment for horses. |
