Newly launched equestrian wellness company The Conscious Equestrian has announced an affiliation with Riders Minds.
Riders Minds is an online resource, dedicated to supporting and improving the mental health and wellbeing of everyone in the equestrian industry, and also provides a free, confidential, 24-hour helpline.
The new affiliation means five percent of all sales made by The Conscious Equestrian will be donated to Riders Minds.
“The entire team at The Conscious Equestrian is delighted to be able to give back to the equestrian community, in the form of regular donations to Riders Minds,” said Ali Dane, director at The Conscious Equestrian.

Feed company Dodson & Horrell has been announced as the new title sponsor of Bolesworth International Horse Show 2021.
The show has new dates this year, confirmed to run from 7-11 July, with classes at CSI3 , CSI1 , CSIAm, CSIP and CSIYH.
“We are very pleased to join Bolesworth International as their new title sponsor to celebrate showjumping and the dedication, passion and talent of all the competitors and their horses,” said Sam Horrell, managing director of Dodson & Horrell.
“A strive for excellence, a commitment to success and a passion for all things equestrian are three core values that Dodson & Horrell and Bolesworth International Horse Show share in abundance, and are what make our exciting new partnership a perfect match.
Top showjumpers William Funnell and Joe Stockdale have signed major sponsorship deals with Equine America that involve renaming a number of their leading horses.
Four of William’s horses will now carry the Equine America prefix under the new sponsorship agreement: Billy Diamo, Billy Take That, Billy McCain and Billy Marmite.
“It goes right back to the days of Cortaflex Mondriaan so it’s been quite a long association with the company,” he said, adding it’s an “old association, but a new sponsorship”.
“In this environment it’s a bit of positive news.”
Equine America will prefix the names of Joe’s top string and the 21-year-old will also ride in the company’s logo and colours.
