Farming Today This Week: Equine Industry

Felicity Evans is at a new livery yard in South Gloucestershire to learn about the UK's £7 billion equine industry. She meets 19 year old Chloe Dawes who hopes the livery business will help to fund her dressage and jumping career. We also hear from the British Horse Society about the safety and welfare rules around owning and riding horses, and from an agricultural university about the variety of careers available in the industry.
Emily Hughes learns about a pony trekking centre in Wales which offers education and skills to children with behavioural problems. And we meet the Yorkshire farrier who's volunteering at the equine clinic at the Olympics in Rio.
Presented by Felicity Evans and produced by Sally Challoner.
