Really pleased to play a small part in this research team. This project is so important in developing our understanding of the workforce that underpins the equestrian industry.
So many of our clients contribute in both paid and voluntary roles - we need to hear from you (links to separate surveys in the comments).
TIA, C :-)
We've been appointed by British Equestrian to lead a major national research project that will build the most comprehensive picture to date of Britain’s equestrian workforce 🏇
Running through the remainder of 2026 and into 2027, the landmark project will examine the people who underpin the equestrian sector, from paid employees and self-employed professionals to freelancers and volunteers, and provide new evidence to support the future development and sustainability of the industry.
The project builds on our extensive equestrian expertise, industry networks and track record in applied research designed to deliver real-world impact.
