Official Chosen Charity
Dressage Anywhere is excited to announce a strengthened commitment to World Horse Welfare, naming them our official chosen charity. This builds upon our existing rosette donation scheme, offering members more ways to support this worthy cause.
About the Rosette Donation Scheme
For years, Dressage Anywhere members have generously opted to donate money instead of receiving a competition rosette and we've donated nearly £700 on your behalf. While rosettes are a cherished memento, this scheme allows members to contribute to a cause they care about. Following the British Equestrians for Ukraine Fund launch, Dressage Anywhere have chosen to support World Horse Welfare due to their vital support for horses and their owners in difficult times. Now, we're formalising this support by naming them our official chosen charity.
Building on the Scheme
Members can continue donating their rosettes through their profile settings. Dressage Anywhere will then donate £1 on your behalf to World Horse Welfare. Additionally, a new checkout donation option is also available, allowing you to contribute directly during the checkout process. (Don't forget to tick the Gift Aid box if you're a UK taxpayer!)
Why it's Important
With 800,000 horses in the UK and 125 million globally, significant welfare problems still exist. With a growing focus on social license and horse welfare in sport and leisure, doing right by horses is key to maintaining public acceptance of involving horses in these activities.
As the UK's leading independent equine welfare organisation, World Horse Welfare stives to improve equine welfare by strengthening the horse-human relationship through care, research, education and influence.
Get Involved
In addition to our own rosette donation scheme and checkout donation, there are lots of other fun fundraising activities you can take part in!
