Helping horses

BETA’s mechanical horse RoboCob raised almost £3,000 for the Brooke during Your Horse Live. The riding simulator was loaned to Lichfield Brooke Supporters who asked for donations in return for rides.

“We would like to thank BETA most sincerely for allowing us to use RoboCob, he was a huge success,” said Sandra Newcombe of the charity.
