Why We Need Your Support

Every safer conversation. Every person who finds the confidence to ask for help. Every organisation that chooses to raise its standards.

It starts because someone decided they couldn't look away anymore.

EQUISS was created because too many people in the equestrian community told us the same story. They didn't know where to turn. They worried they wouldn't be believed. They were afraid of the consequences of speaking up, especially when those involved held power or influence.

We believed there had to be another way.

An independent organisation where anyone could access support, where safeguarding came before reputation, and where lasting change was driven by evidence, not politics.

That's why EQUISS exists. And it's why your support matters.

As a regular supporter, you're helping us do far more than answer phone calls or respond to reports. You're helping us build a safer future for everyone in the equestrian community.

Because of supporters like you, we can:

  • Provide free, confidential support to anyone experiencing abuse, harm or misconduct
  • Remain completely independent from governing bodies and commercial interests
  • Deliver evidence-led campaigns that challenge harmful behaviours
  • Raise standards through training, accreditation and education
  • Work alongside organisations to create lasting cultural change
You're Part of the Change

By becoming a regular supporter, you've joined a growing community of people who believe the equestrian world can, and should, be safer.

Whether you ride, coach, volunteer, own horses, work in the industry or simply care about the future of our community, your support sends a clear message:

Abuse should never be accepted. Speaking up should never be feared. Everyone deserves to feel safe.

Thank you for standing with EQUISS.
