Royal patron announced for Horses for Health Event

In preparation for its beginning on the 19 June, The Great Horses for Health Event 2022 has announced the return of an exciting patron

Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Cornwall is returning as patron for 2022 Horses for Health. The event is running for 70 days, between the 19 June and 28 August, in honour of the Queens Platinum Jubilee and the 70^th Anniversary of leading equine charity, HorseWorld Trust.

This year, a number of events have been pre-planned around the UK for participants to enjoy and are designed to appeal to horse enthusiasts, from all walks of life. The event will continue to highlight how horses can have a positive impact on our mental health, while also raising vital funds for equine charities.

Founder Sophie Gifford saidWe’re incredibly grateful to HRH The Duchess of Cornwall for her continued support of our event. We know that the 2021 event was an uplifting experience and as a keen equestrian herself, HRH understands how horses can help have a positive impact on our wellbeing. It’s a huge privilege to have HRH The Duchess of Cornwall as our Patron for a second year.”

Charities benefiting from the event include HorseWorld Trust, who provide a support team to Sophie as well as an enthusiastic group of volunteers, and the Riding for the Disabled Association.

CEO of HorseWorld Trust, Petra Ingram, saidWe’re delighted to welcome HRH The Duchess of Cornwall to our Horses for Health team 2022.  She has a great love for horses, and we hope that, with her support, we will be able to grow our existing community of horse-loving people and celebrate the positive power of horses whilst raising funds for equine Charities.”
