Equine charity announces cost of living webinar
The webinar will guide horse owners through where they can look to save money.
World Horse Welfare (WHW) has announced a free webinar looking at how owners of horses can reduce costs while still maintaining high standards of care for their animals.
The event, Cutting costs, not care, takes place on Wednesday, 4 January and will see experts from BEVA, Blue Cross, and WHW discuss the cost-of-living crisis and how owners can cope with the spiralling expenses of feed, bedding and services.
Presenters include equine vet Lucy Grieve, veterinary projects officer at BEVA, Ruth Court, horse welfare manager at Blue Cross, and Rachel Andrews, one of 17 field officers at WHW.
A WHW spokesperson said: “We are all very aware of how expensive horses are to keep and we, as owners, often feel that the costs associated with their care spiral constantly upwards – more so than ever with the increasing costs of feed, bedding, and services we are currently experiencing.
“Lucy, Ruth and Rachel will guide us through areas where we can look to save money as well as highlighting where scrimping could impact the health and welfare of our horses. As always, the team will be more than happy to answer any questions you may have at the end of the webinar.”
The webinar takes place on Zoom at 7 pm and can also be viewed as a Facebook Live session. To register and take part in the conversation, visit worldhorsewelfare.zoom.us
The BSAVA has opened submissions for the BSAVA Clinical Research Abstracts 2026.
