Equines—horses, ponies, and donkeys—have been integral to Britain’s history, culture, and development, from their roles in agriculture and transportation to their presence in sport and ceremonial events. Today, many native British equine breeds are at risk due to changes in farming practices, loss of habitat, and modern transportation methods. Protecting these animals and the traditional knowledge surrounding their care, breeding, and work is essential for preserving a living link to the past. By supporting efforts to safeguard equines, we help maintain the historical and cultural heritage they represent, ensuring future generations can continue to connect with their profound role in Britain’s history.
