Industry salutes best tack shops.
Equestrian retailers’ contribution to the wider horse world will be celebrated at this year’s BETAs – the British Equestrian Trade Awards.
Nominations are open for one of the most sought-after of these important industry accolades – the Absorbine Retailer of the Year, store category.
"We know just how vital equestrian retailers are to our industry,” says Rachael Holdsworth, European marketing coordinator for award sponsor Absorbine.
“Bricks-and-mortar stores are the backbone of the equestrian supply chain, offering friendly, local service and knowledgeable staff who provide invaluable advice with a true passion for horse care.
“Winning this title isn’t just about receiving the most nominations; it’s about demonstrating outstanding customer support, an in-depth understanding of products, and a commitment to going above and beyond for both horses and riders.
“We look forward to celebrating the retailers who make a real difference in our community."
How to nominate
Horsey consumers and members of the trade are invited to name the equestrian store they feel deserves to win this award.
Nominated stores will be judged by a panel of experts appointed by the British Equestrian Trade Association (BETA).
The BETAs are to be presented at the 2025 BETA Gala Dinner on Sunday, 28 September at The Hilton Metropole, Birmingham. For further information about tickets for the BETA Gala Dinner click here
