Scunthorpe based retailer D & M Mason Saddlery won the ETN hamper of £1,000s worth of products for their store at BETA International.
All buyers who called at the ETN stand were invited to enter a prize draw with the North Lincolnshire business being first out of the hat.
All prizes were donated by ETN advertisers who were also exhibiting at BETA International 2015. "Thank you to everyone who contributed – and congratulations to the winner," said Nicki Lewis of ETN.
As part of the prize, D & M Mason Saddlery will be profiled in ETN soon.
27th February, 2015.
BETA International 2015 was the industry hotspot for buyers and suppliers from around the world who visited the NEC, Birmingham, for this ultimate trade buying experience from 22 to 24 February.
Almost 300 exhibitors – one in four from overseas – showcased their finest brands and unveiled latest products in front of an audience of 4,599 retailers (including 701 re-entries on separate days), from small independent stores to large multi-store shopping chains.*
Neue Schule continued its backing of BETA International by signing up to return as main sponsor in 2016 for the third time. The company's CEO, Sarfraz Mian, said: "We are thrilled to support the show's impressive position as the leading event in the international trade fair calendar."
Dragons' Den TV star Deborah Meaden proved a real hit in The Charles Owen Learning Centre @ The Horse Demonstration & Seminar Arena, where she was interviewed about her "Common Sense Rules for Business" and role as the British Equestrian Federation's Hoof ambassador, and took part in a Q&A with the audience.
"I thoroughly enjoyed my visit to BETA International," said Deborah. "It was wonderful to see so many new products being launched on to the market and a great opportunity to chat with members of the equestrian industry. I was also able to share my passion for horse riding and encourage people to take it up through the Hoof initiative."
Live-action displays drew in large crowds keen to see products out of their packaging and up close and personal. Sessions included Roy Burek, managing director of Charles Owen, which sponsored The Charles Owen Learning Centre, hosting a discussion on the changes to riding hat safety standard EN 1384 and exploring the way that wearing shoulder protection can help to reduce rider injury.
BETA International's chosen charity, World Horse Welfare, brought along some of its rescued and rehabilitated horses and ponies to meet visitors and exhibitors, and to highlight the work being done by the charity in collaboration with members of the equestrian industry.
Heather Hyde, founder of Neue Schule, main sponsor of BETA International, hosted a presentation entitled "From Doctors to Turtles: 100 Years Through the Dark Ages of Bitting".
Visiting SQPs (suitably qualified persons) were able to secure ten CPD points in an AMTRA-accredited seminar, "Reds, Tapes & Pins", hosted by veterinary management consultant Jim Wishart. The seminar ran twice during the trade fair.
The Fashion Show was sponsored by Ekkia's flagship brand, Equi-Thème, for a second consecutive year, providing the perfect showcase for autumn/winter and spring/summer collections. With a backdrop of catchy tunes and cleverly choreographed routines, some of the most famous and celebrated brands took to the runway to reveal what was in and hot for the months ahead. Scenes featured Equi-Thème, Tredstep Ireland, Airowear, Covalliero, Toggi, Champion, Horseware Ireland, Derriere Equestrian, Caldene and Harry Hall.
Excellence is always celebrated at BETA International and this year did not disappoint. The Innovation Awards, sponsored by the show's official media partner, Equestrian Trade News (ETN), attracted a record number of entries across 10 categories. All exhibitors are invited to take part with products introduced to the market not more than the 12 months preceding the show.
This year's judging panel was made up of Alex Colquhoun, chairman of British Eventing's young rider selection committee, Sara Blackshaw, equine category manager for Countrywide Farmers, Sophie Webster, show rider and producer, and John Sommerville, a partner in North Yorkshire veterinary practice Rae Bean & Partners.
The winners, presented with their trophies by ETN editor Liz Benwell and advertising sales manager Nicki Lewis, were: Ariat Europe (Country Fashion & Footwear), The Herbal Horse + Pet (Feed & Supplements), Solar Technology International (General), Battles (Horsecare Equipment & (Horse) Clothing), Animology/Pet Rebellion (Pet Products), Kastel Denmark (Rider Clothing), Lorenzini Titanium (Rider Footwear & Chaps), Neue Schule (Saddlery & Tack), USG (Safety & Security) and Deerhunter (Technical Outdoor Clothing & Footwear).
High-quality exhibition stands are a hallmark of BETA International and every one is automatically entered into the show's Best Stand Awards, with large (32 sq m and over) and small (under 32 sq m) categories. The competition, sponsored by The Wine & Hamper Company, is designed to reward companies going that extra mile to create an attractive and highly effective commercial space and welcoming environment.
Judging was carried out by Lara Downes, of the trade fair's chosen charity, World Horse Welfare, and Barrie Mortlock, of Ingatestone Saddlery. Winner of the Best Large Stand award was Toggi/Champion, with the Best Small Stand title going to Stubbs England.
Lucy Stephens, of Jet Set Saddlery, and Gail Johnson, of Horse Bit Hire, were crowned Neue Schule Bitting Advisers of the Year in a national competition introduced for the first time last year by the company. The two winners were presented with their trophies and prizes by Deborah Meaden on the Neue Schule stand.
Deborah also played a key role in the show's special ceremony to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the first BETA International trade fair at the NEC, cutting a magnificent cake that was later served with glasses of bubbly to all those watching the awards presentations.
The Society of Master Saddlers ran its annual competitions at BETA International to promote the work of talented apprentice and trainee saddlers. Craftsmanship and attention to detail were key elements over the three days of the show, which saw the creation of a Pelham rounding, a lead rein with butterfly attachment and an Irish martingale.
The winners were selected by a panel of judges from the Society of Master Saddlers and presented with cash prizes supplied by the Saddlers' Company. They were Tanya Baldwin, of the King's Troop RHA, and Capel Manor College students Corrin King and Charlotte Fuller.
BETA International organiser Claire Thomas reported plenty of positive feedback from both exhibitors and visitors. "This year's trade fair has been an extremely successful experience for all companies involved," she said. "We opened our doors with every square metre of commercial space sold and a vibrant range of special features and industry awards on offer.
"We are thrilled to hear that one of our first-time exhibitors in particular has managed to secure a deal with a large wholesaler for sole distributorship of its products. Many others left the show with their order books full – that's what BETA International is all about and why it remains the world's No 1 trade exhibition for equestrian, country clothing, outdoor and pet products.
"We would like to thank the UK and international trade for supporting the show – and all our sponsors, Neue Schule, Charles Owen, Hy, Ekkia, Equestrian Trade News, HorseQuest, Shires Equestrian, Toggi, TopSpec and The Wine & Hamper Company."
BETA International 2016 will take place at the NEC, Birmingham, from 24 to 26 January. For information about exhibiting at the show, contact James Palmer, telephone +44 (0)1937 582111 or email firstname.lastname@example.com.

26th February, 2015.
The 2015 BETA Business Awards lived up their reputation as the high point of the equestrian trade calendar as members gathered to recognise and celebrate those who had made outstanding contributions to the industry. These highly prized trophies were presented to companies and individuals during BETA's glittering annual Gala Dinner, at the National Motorcycle Museum, near Birmingham, on Sunday 22 February.
Guests arrived dressed to the nines and enjoyed a drinks reception before taking their seats for dinner. After the meal and awards presentations, guests got down on the dance floor or enjoyed some interactive fun in a Gold Cup Challenge racing game.
The event's raffle raised a record £1,918 for Riding for the Disabled. Prizes included a leisure spa break voucher worth £240 from Whittlebury Hall, a set of glasses from Burridge Trophies, a hamper of goodies from Blacks Solicitors and champagne from BETA.
"Our congratulations go to all the winners and everyone who was nominated for an award," said BETA executive director Claire Williams. "We were overwhelmed by the sheer number of nominations we received and the judges, as usual, had a tough task in selecting the final winners. The BETA Business Awards continue to grow year on year and have evolved to reflect today's business environment with the inclusion of a social media award for the first time."
The winners of the 2015 BETA Business Awards are...
Winner: TopSpec Equine, Thirsk, North Yorkshire
Runner-up: Allen & Page, Thetford, Norfolk
With an increasing number of feeds and supplements on the market, giving the trade and consumers more choice than ever, BETA wished to highlight the importance of reliable and accessible nutritional advice.
Nominations were invited from retailers and consumers, and the final judging was based on these and mystery callers posing questions designed to challenge each helpline.
This is the eighth time that TopSpec has won the award and the judges described the service offered by the company as "outstanding once again!"
Winner: Shane Broughal, of Horslyx, Casco, Tredstep, Zilco, Schockemöhle Sports and Prestige Italia
This award, presented by Equine Careers, recognises excellence in product knowledge and service to retail customers. Nominations received from retailers were followed by interviews with the finalists.
Nominators for this agent frequently used the words helpful, patient, efficient, hard-working and professional. A judge was particularly impressed when Shane told him that the most important part of his job was to serve his customers well, be honest and have products that he really believes in – key elements in the agent's role, which is all about building and maintaining relationships.
Winner: Rachel Ealey, Tower Farm Saddlers, Rugby
Runner-up: Samantha Francis, Countrywide Farmers, Ashbourne, Derbyshire
This award is given to the retail employee showing initiative, excellence in customer service, good product knowledge and a commitment to retailing.

A judge concluded: "She was a delight to talk to and balanced sound product knowledge with real enthusiasm for the ranges she sold."
Winner: The Equestrian.com Hickstead Derby meeting
Runner-up: Horse of the Year Show
This award acknowledges the event (at which tradestands are present) that best works with its exhibitors and takes their requirements and views fully into consideration.
Judges, visitors and stand holders agreed that the Hickstead Derby, which has been running for 53 years and attracts 40,000 visitors each time, is iconic and held at a spectacular venue. "The organising team are spot on – nothing is ever too much trouble," they concluded.
Winner: Battle, Hayward & Bower, Lincoln
Judged by the retail trade, this award goes to a manufacturer, distributor or wholesaler that offers the best delivery, customer service, product knowledge and awareness of retailer requirements.
Nominators applauded the company's efficient ordering and delivery services, along with consistently good customer service.
The judges added: "Battles impressed us with its attention to detail and astute use of customer research."
This award is divided into four categories – large, medium, small and mail order/Internet retailers. It is presented to those retailers that offer outstanding customer service. Final judging took suppliers' votes into account, as well as including visits by mystery shoppers.
Large Retailer

Runner-up: Aivly Country Store, Ringwood, Hampshire
A nominator for Wadswick Country Store said: "They have such friendly and helpful staff."

Winner: Supplement Solutions
Runner-up: VioVet
A nominator for Supplement Solutions said: "They are amazing – nothing is too much trouble."
Judges added: "The person answering my telephone enquiry had a great knack of gauging my knowledge level and responding accordingly. I was left feeling inspired to buy. Yet again, a high standard was shown across the business."
This award acknowledges sponsored riders who make the greatest contribution to the trade and work hard for their sponsors. This year, for the first time, the award has been divided into two sections – amateur and professional. An independent panel of judges selected this year's winners.
Winner – Amateur Rider: Mike Hodgson
Nominator Abbey England said: "We started sponsoring this young carriage driver in 2011. Two years later, he became reserve champion with his team of Shetland ponies. In 2014, he took bronze at the FEI Youth Championships and was named Young Driver of the Year by British Carriage Driving. He provides us with countless training features, participates in photo shoots and his next project is a series of 'how to' videos."
Winner – Professional Rider: Roberta Sheffield
Nominated by: Bliss of London, Showerking, Cyclo-ssage, Safemix Equestrian Bedding and Mark Westaway & Son. Judges were impressed with the wide support from all her sponsors and the professional and enthusiastic way in which she approached each sponsorship, displaying in-depth knowledge of their products and a willingness to promote them at every opportunity.
Winner: Bliss of London
This award recognises a company that has generated a substantial and sustained increase in export activity over a period of at least three years.
The judges felt that Bliss of London showed clear structure to its strategy and impressive results.
Winner: Weatherbeeta
Judges said that the company displayed strong creative content, a good understanding of its customers and a good mixture of technical product and fun interactive posts. "Weatherbeeta also supports the trade well with easy-to-share content and information," they added.
Winner: Ken Lyndon-Dykes
Ken received the Lifetime Achievement Award for the great contribution he has made to the equestrian industry for many years, promoting the importance of saddle fitting and playing an influential role in both BETA and the SMS.
Horses have been a huge part of Ken's life – he even gave up a place at Oxford to run a trekking centre in Wales. He became a fully-fledged member of the equestrian trade some years later quite by accident after the plane he was flying in the 1972 British Air Race crashed following a bird strike and he woke up in hospital and was told that he would probably be confined to a wheelchair for the rest of his days.
Up to this point, Ken had been working in the publishing industry as a high-earning executive. He now found himself unemployed and seemingly unemployable. But, rather than be defeated, he rallied and came up with the idea of selling saddles by mail order.
In 1973, Ken opened his first equestrian retail outlet, which he built into a chain of 56 shops and "shops within shops". This business was eventually sold in 1999 to the board of directors.
He began producing saddles in Walsall in 1974 and had such illustrious clients as King Hussein and Queen Noor of Jordan, Richard Meade, Lucinda Green and many other Olympic and world-class riders.
Ken's resolute spirit was illustrated perfectly by his passion for the saddlery industry and the determination he had to walk again after his accident. He developed his own rehabilitation programme and, before long, he was eventing at national and international level.
Throughout his early work in the industry, Ken became aware of the deficiencies in saddle fitting, where consideration was given to the comfort of the rider – but little or none to the welfare of the horse.
This concern sparked a lifetime's interest in this vital service and he has lectured and trained on the subject all over the world. He has played an influential role in the SMS and helped to develop its saddle-fitting qualifications and courses. He has also written many books and magazine features on the subject.
A successful businessman who has continued to give back to the industry throughout his career, Ken was a BETA Council member from the early days and it is thanks to his support in the 1980s that BETA continued as an independent organisation representing the whole equestrian trade. He is still an active member of the trade association today and still sits on BETA's Trade Fair Committee.
26th February, 2015.
Cutting edge design and inspiring ideas were honoured in BETA International's 2015 Innovation Awards. Winners were presented with these industry accolades during this year's trade fair, at the NEC, Birmingham, on Monday (23 February).
Sponsored by Equestrian Trade News, the show's media partner, the highly prized awards were open to all exhibitors with products that had not been launched on the market more than 12 months before the 2015 trade fair. This year attracted a record 99 entries, giving the judging panel a challenging task in finding winners in each of the 10 categories. The judges were Sara Blackshaw, equine category manager of Countrywide Farmers, Alex Colquhoun, chairman of British Eventing's Young Rider Selection Committee, John Sommerville, a partner in the North Yorkshire veterinary practice Rae Bean & Son, and Sophie Webster, a show rider and producer.
"The awards attracted such a vast number of entries this year that our judges had an exceptionally tough task in selecting the winners," said BETA International organiser Claire Thomas. "There were some cracking products across the board and, after consideration, those felt to be truly innovative soon became apparent. We would like to thank our judging panel for all its hard work and congratulate the companies that have been successful in securing an award.
"They can be justifiably proud of their achievement and should make the most of being able to use the Innovation Awards winner's logo in their marketing for the next 12 months."
The 2015 Innovation Awards winners were…

Highly commended

These modern horse and pony stories are aimed at today's young riders, pony lovers of all ages, happy hackers and non-riders. Launched in May 2014, the books are available through equestrian retailers and pony clubs, as well as at horse events.

This is an innovative bit that has been designed for the overactive and busy mouth. The horse is prevented from lifting the side arms – cannons – through the joint design, ensuring the bit comes into the desired optimum alignment and giving greater stability.
Judges' comments: This well-crafted bit is fabulous! The well-researched innovation is in the alignment of the bit's mouthpiece. Most bits are designed to sit on the horse's mouth, whereas this wonderfully designed product means that when pressure is put on the mouth it sits perfectly.

Product: USG SOS
This tag with an individual ID code attaches to USG body protectors and holds all the vital information needed in the event of an emergency – whatever you choose to store, from contacts to medical details.
Judges' comments: This is a really sensible product that can help riders in all emergencies. We like the quantity of detail about riders and their horses that can be stored. It is an idea that has finally surfaced in the equestrian market.
Highly commended
Company: Hack-Cam (gizapaw.co.uk)
Product: Hack-Cam safety products
This reflective and hi-viz tail sleeve and tabard promotes safety not only through a warning – "Smile You're on Camera" or "Please Pass Wide & Slow" – but also by recording with a small attachable camera.

Company: Deerhunter
Product: Muflon
Aimed at the country outdoor pursuits market, this jacket is breathable and waterproof, and has hand warmers, a detachable hood and an array of pockets inside and out. There are trousers to match.

BETA International 2016 takes place on 24 – 26 January at the NEC, Birmingham.
26th February, 2015.
Four exhibition stands at BETA International 2015 proved themselves worthy winners in the show's prestigious Best Stand Awards – an annual competition designed to reward companies that have gone the extra mile to create a polished and professional environment from which to promote product and conduct sales.
Every exhibitor at the world's leading trade fair for the equestrian, country clothing, outdoor and pet products markets was automatically entered into the competition, sponsored by The Wine & Hamper Company, and placed in the relevant category – Best Large Stand (32 sq m and over) or Best Small Stand (under 32 sq m). A winner and highly commended were named in each category by judges Lara Downes, of the show's chosen charity, World Horse Welfare, and Barrie Mortlock, of Ingatestone Saddlery. This year, the trophies went to…
Winner: Toggi/Champion (Stand F6.1)
Judges' comments: This bright, attractive stand was equally enticing from the outside with smart external displays. Clear branding meant that we knew instantly which company the stand belonged to. It was clean and tidy with extremely busy staff who greeted us when we approached and made themselves available to book appointments should we wish to.
Highly commended: Sherwood Forest (Stand Q3.1)
Judges' comments: An extremely eye-catching stand with fantastic displays of merchandise including a bold table centre-piece that created a great focus point for visitors to the stand. Members of staff were instantly identifiable and provided a warm welcome – it was refreshing to see that nobody was sat around engrossed with their mobile phones.
Winner: Stubbs England (StandK4.2)
Judges' comments: A stand that made the very best out of a small space. It was bright, creative, tidy and welcoming. Staff were clearly branded and jumped to their feet when we approached. They were polite and displayed great product knowledge when asked about their ranges. Again, it was heartening to see that no one was sat down playing with mobiles – they were here to engage with visitors and did an admirable job.
Highly commended: Breyer Model Horses (Stand L3.1)
Judges' comments: A stand that was extremely pleasing to the eye and cleverly designed and merchandised to echo the brand's beautiful product ranges. White picket fences gave a distinctly country feel and products were placed smartly on parade. Staff were extremely helpful and keen to engage with customers – and genuinely interested in hearing what their customers had to say.
"High-quality exhibition stands are a hallmark of the trade fair and deserve to be recognised in this way," said BETA International organiser Claire Thomas. "A great deal of time and effort is put into making sure that the stands not only look good, but must also be merchandised effectively, employ attentive and knowledgeable staff, and provide a welcoming commercial space for conducting business. These four companies have done just that. Our congratulations go to each one of them."
26th February, 2015.
Dragons' Den TV star Deborah Meaden has revealed the secret behind keeping fit for her Strictly Come Dancing stint two years ago – horse riding.
"My dance partner told me at the beginning that my legs would kill me after the first week because I was doing ten hours' training a day," she told an audience at the BETA International trade fair this week. "But my legs didn't hurt once because I ride regularly.
"I had no idea what riding was doing for my wellbeing and that's something I feel quite passionate about. It's really helped me in a busy life being able to keep my feet on the ground, feel fitter and be more toned and more active. That's why I get so passionate about it."
The entrepreneur said that her parents had not been able to afford to buy a horse when she was a child. "So I used to ride ponies on Minehead seafront. In return for walking up and down with them, I was allowed to ride them back to the stable at night. My childhood dream was to be a showjumper."
Deborah, an ambassador for the British Equestrian Federation's Hoof project, which aims to get more people riding, owns six horses – four of them retired ex-racehorses – and rides twice a day, four days a week. "I love riding and the challenges that horses bring," she said. "There's something very special about being around them."
Her audience also received tips on launching and running a successful business. "For me, it's about constantly spotting the opportunity, the ability to take an element of risk, and there's a bit of bravery in there, a bit of stupidity and a bit of blind faith," she said. "I don't gamble, but I do take calculated risks.
"With any new business, the first thing I say is to write on an A4 sheet of paper our ideal customer, where they live, what they read, the way they vote, what they drink, which pub or restaurant do they go to. I want a picture of them. Are they open to being sold to?
"Sometimes I think people come out of Dragons' Den thinking it's a shortcut – job done. But that's just the start. The truth is, this is hard work. It's not that complicated – it is hard slog. I can honestly say I love it for that. If it was that easy, I wouldn't get the pleasure out of it. If you're looking for a shortcut, don't go into business. If you're prepared to sing, go on The X Factor."
Deborah also revealed that the Dragons' rivalry in the Den stays in the Den. "We are all competitive, we are in there trying to win bids," she said. "We are not a pack – we are all individual people trying to do deals.
"We are also grown-ups. We film in Manchester, so we all stay in a hotel and, when we come out of the Den, we all have dinner together. What goes on tour stays on tour. We are all very good friends."
BETA International 2016, the world's leading trade fair for the equestrian, country clothing, outdoor and pet product markets, takes place at the NEC, Birmingham, on 24 - 26 February.

20th February, 2015.
Next year's BETA International moves to the earlier date of 24 – 26 January.
The move has been prompted by a change in seasonal buying habits, say the organisers.
The 2016 trade fair will remain in its existing halls at the NEC Birmingham and continue to run over a Sunday, Monday and Tuesday.
"Many of our exhibitors and visitors have expressed a preference for an earlier show following a change in buying patterns dictated by today's markets," said BETA International organiser Claire Thomas.
"The move also allows us to secure a more prominent position in the global trade show calendar."
BETA International has traditionally been held in February.

Former Horse & Hound editor Lucy Higginson has joined Matchmakers International.
She is working part time with the Harry Hall brand development team.
"Harry Hall is a brand I grew up with," Lucy told ETN. "Our aim is to re-establish it with regular horse owners to maximize their enjoyment safely and stylishly."
Lucy is recruiting equestrian professionals to represent the brand and organising Harry Hall consumer events including visits to well-known yards.
"We want to create a community of ambassadors," said Lucy who left Horse & Hound after 12 years last summer.
Describing her own equestrian wardrobe as "traditional", she added that Matchmakers International has "some terrific new products in the pipeline."
Liz Hopper, the company's commercial director, said Lucy was "brilliantly placed to work with us as we continue to promote the Harry Hall brand."
Lucy joins the Matchmakers International team on its stand at BETA International next Monday, 23 February.

Equestrian.com has moved to new premises giving it an extra 20,000 sq ft.
The online retailer's new 22 acre base is at Bowers Mill, Barkisland near Halifax, four miles from its previous location at Sowerby Bridge.
The last six years have seen "significant growth in the business", according to CEO Lorraine Meadowcroft.
"The move will now allow us to ensure our customers get the high street experience they deserve for equestrian products," she added.
Equestrian.com [previously known as Equestrian Clearance Warehouse] plans to introduce 24/7 shifts at busy periods and despatch six or seven days per week.
The company is recruiting staff to work in-house and from home.
"For 2015, customers will see a significant rise in the number of top brands introduced to the site as we work hard with our supplier partners," said Lorraine.
The retailer is also to continue to sponsor the Hickstead Derby and work with Horse & Hound to promote the major showjumping fixture.

Trilanco is a finalist in its home county's business awards.
The equestrian and animal health distributor is in the running to win two Red Rose Awards.
The accolades celebrate Lancashire commerce and industry. Poulton-le-Fylde based Trilanco is a finalist in the family business of the year and medium business of the year categories.
"It's the first time we've entered and to make it through to the final stages in two categories was beyond our expectations," said managing director Martin Balmer.
"We're up against some very strong companies, so we'll just have to see what happens."
The Red Rose Awards will be presented on Thursday, 12 March at Winter Gardens, Blackpool.

A year of positive consumer spending lies ahead, say retail pundits.
Although shop prices [across all sectors] are down for the 21st consecutive month, cheaper oil reducing retailers' costs is helping cushion the impact.
For retailers to stay competitive, it's imperative they pass on cost savings to consumers, say the experts.
The latest British Retail Consortium (BRC) Nielson Shop Price Index, published today, reports that shop prices decelerated by 1.3% in January and by 1.6% on a 12 month average basis.
Non-food deflation slowed to 1.8% in January from 2.8% in December.
"Clearly customers were taking advantage of the January sales resulting in plenty of stock shifting," says Helen Dickinson, BRC director general
"There is some evidence that the heavy discounting in early December resulted in some retailers pulling their new season stock forward, which meant a significant amount of goods were sold at full price in January.
"The halving of the oil price since the summer has helped the retail supply chains with the impact of these falls, continuing to make their way through to shop prices."
With inflation low, the jobs market robust and rising real incomes gathering pace, the outlook for consumer spending looks positive, added Ms Dickinson.
"Deflation doesn't always translate into bad news for retailers. The Producers Price Index (which tracks the cost of raw materials to producers) remains deflationary, so retail businesses will continue to see decreases in their own input costs for the foreseeable future.
"2015 is shaping up to be win-win year for shoppers and retailers alike."
3rd February, 2015.
World Horse Welfare – the chosen charity of this month's BETA International 2015 – has won a tourism award.
The charity's Belwade Farm Rescue & Rehoming Centre was named 'best visitor attraction' at the Aberdeen & Shires Tourism Awards.
Based near Aboyne on the edge of the Cairngorms National Park and overlooking Royal Deeside, visitor comforts include a renowned bistro within the centre's indoor arena.
Belwade Farm is Scotland's largest receiving centre for cases of equine neglect, cruelty and ignorance. It aims to rehabilitate and rehome horses but regularly runs to maximum capacity of around 65 horses and ponies at any one time.
The centre is open from 11am to 4pm Wednesday to Sunday throughout the year. Group visits are welcome by appointment on tel 01339 885398.
World Horse Welfare will be at BETA International at the NEC, Birmingham on 22 – 24 February. More details at www.beta-int.com
3rd February, 2015.
A competition organised by an online retailer was unfairly run.
Rebecca Penny t/a Bridleworks also breached the prize promotions code, says the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA).
Five complaints were made about a competition on the company's Facebook page which told consumers they were "in with a chance of your horse or pony being the face of Bridleworks"
Entrants were invited to upload a photo and ask their 'Facebook friends' to vote for it.
The top 20 would go through to a second round, the winner being chosen by "an independent panel of judges."
Four complainants said a winner wasn't announced and challenged whether the promotion was fairly administered.
Another complainant believed the voting system wasn't clearly stated in the terms and conditions.
Both complaints were upheld by the advertising watchdog.

Yesterday, we got to hear a bit more about Star Trek 3 as co-writer and star of the sequel Simon Pegg begins to make his press rounds for Mission: Impossible Rogue Nation, which hits theaters this summer. We now know that Idris Elba, rumored to be the villain, is playing a character never before seen in the franchise. Today, we get word of the official title, which also points to the fact that this J.J. Abrams-less sequel is moving away from the ideas and themes set up in the first two reboots, which altered the original 1966 series' timeline. If we're to believe this latest rumor, the official title of Star Trek 3 is Star Trek Beyond.
TrekMovie.com notes that Paramount Pictures has recently registered the title of Star Trek Beyond with the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA). They believe that this indicates the movie will involve deep space exploration, which has been hinted at for some time. The movie is said to pick up a few years after Star Trek Into Darkness, with the Enterprise well into their 5 year mission to explore strange new worlds. Simon Pegg, who is still feverishly working on the screenplay, had this to say in an early interview:
"It's a story about frontierism and adventure and optimism and fun, and that's where we want to take it. Where no man has gone before - where no one has gone before, sensibly corrected for a slighter more enlightened generation. But yeah, that's the mood at the moment."
Star Trek Beyond is set to return Chris Pine to the captain's chair as James T. Kirk, along with other returning cast members that include Zachary Quinto, Zoe Saldana, Karl Urban, John Cho and Anton Yelchin. Idris Elba isn't the only new cast member either, with Sofia Boutella taking on a lead role that has not yet been revealed. Justin Lin, who brought the Fast & Furious franchise back from the brink of death and turned it into one of today's most lucrative series, will helm this next space adventure. Simon Pegg is writing the script alongside Doug Jung. The pair previously collaborated on the Mission: Impossible movies together.

I like this little electric "scooter" a lot. I do think the rear wheels should be a bit further apart for added stability. I have also found it is too easy to "spin out" the front driver wheel when going up an incline or crossing a grass area. The user and assembly manual is minimal and could use considerably more information and more and better illustrations.
Electric bicycle fits under the definition of "moped" under Kentucky law. You don't need tag or insurance, but you need a driver's license. "Moped" means either a motorized bicycle whose frame design may include one (1) or more horizontal crossbars supporting a fuel tank so long as it also has pedals, or a motorized bicycle with a step-through type frame which may or may not have pedals rated no more than two (2) brake horsepower, a cylinder capacity not exceeding fifty (50) cubic centimeters, an automatic transmission not requiring clutching or shifting by the operator after the drive system is engaged, and capable of a maximum speed of not more than thirty (30) miles per hour[43][44] Helmets are required.
Bicycles are popular targets for theft, due to their value and ease of resale.[113] The number of bicycles stolen annually is difficult to quantify as a large number of crimes are not reported.[114] Around 50% of the participants in the Montreal International Journal of Sustainable Transportation survey were subjected to a bicycle theft in their lifetime as active cyclists.[115] Most bicycles have serial numbers that can be recorded to verify identity in case of theft.[116]
Depending on local laws, many e-bikes (e.g., pedelecs) are legally classified as bicycles rather than mopeds or motorcycles. This exempts them from the more stringent laws regarding the certification and operation of more powerful two-wheelers which are often classed as electric motorcycles. E-bikes can also be defined separately and treated under distinct Electric bicycle laws.
Choose a 36- or 48-volt battery with a capacity of 10Ah or 20Ah. Choose a battery designed for use on an electric bicycle, as it will come with a charger and be much easier to install. Make sure the voltage and capacity of the battery you choose is compatible with the conversion kit you purchased. The higher the voltage of your bike's battery, the more powerful your bike will be. When building an electric bike, choose a 36- or 48-volt battery to allow for speed and comfort.[5]
While we're still fairly new to the solar ebike game, Mark is among the (suprisingly numerous) Grin customers who've been thinking about and experimenting with solar bikes for many years. After he shared pictures of his latest project and mentioned his round the world touring ambitions, we thought we had to do a small feature on this guy. A quick last minute trip to Maker Faire was arranged to meet up, and here we present, Mark Havran:
Louisiana Revised Statute R.S. 32:1(41) defines a motorized bicycle as a pedal bicycle which may be propelled by human power or helper motor, or by both, with a motor rated no more than one and one-half brake horsepower, a cylinder capacity not exceeding fifty cubic centimeters, an automatic transmission, and which produces a maximum design speed of no more than twenty-five miles per hour on a flat surface. Motorized bicycles falling within this definition must be registered and titled under Louisiana law. Additionally, a motorized bicycle operated upon Louisiana roadways or highways by a person fifteen years of age or older and producing more than five horsepower must possess a valid driver's license with a motorcycle endorsement and adhere to laws governing the operation of a motorcycle, including the wearing of approved eye protectors or a windshield and the wearing of a helmet. The statute also states that "Motorized bicycles such as pocket bikes and scooters that do not meet the requirements of this policy shall not be registered."
Cargo bikes and city bikes are common in the e-bike space, but until recently we haven't seen that many performance road bikes. The Giant Road E+1 is a pedal-assist performance road bike that's made for more than just commuting; the powerful motor can crank you up to 28 mph very quickly on the highest setting so you can rip the flats, join your local group ride, or blast through the mountains with far less effort than a traditional road bike. It won't feel like a 16-pound race bike when you lean it into high-speed turns, but the endurance-oriented geometry allows for an aggressive position on the bike and keeps it nimble and agile at high speed.
^ Consumer Product Safety Act, Pub. L. 107–319, December 4, 2002; codified at 15 U.S.C. 2085(b): The CPSC regulations do not differentiate between commercially manufactured low speed electric bicycles and those converted from ordinary bicycles by their owners using an aftermarket electric motor and battery kit, nor do they regulate the construction of electric-power bicycles using owner-built or sourced components.
There are dozens of good 25Km/h pedelecs. Our advice is to go the nearest good e-bike store and get it from there, because e-bikes may need good support. Only if you like servicing a bike yourself is buying from the Internet a good option. As of Spring 2013, a good benchmark to compare with is the Austrian KTM Amparo also called KTM Severo 8M or the German Kalkhoff Impuls or Agattu series. It has a reliable Panasonic middle motor and a good battery. If you want a more sexy design, try the SMART from the urban car maker of the same name.
Every inch of the bike is thought through, from how the simple, rugged battery connection to the hydraulic disc brakes to the tire choice, to the adorable little bell. The custom battery shape works aesthetically with the frame and is not some obtrusive piece strapped to the down tube of the bike. By putting it down low, it also adds to the stability of the bike, making it handle like a dream, regardless of speed.
Hub motors are sold as either geared or direct drive: Geared hubs are preferred for hill climbing ability and zero drag when coasting, while DD hubs are more durable and suitable for high speed. Extreme hill climbing and high torque applications (fatbikes, hauling cargo, popping wheelies) usually requires a mid drive, which is covered in the motor section below. Ebike battery packs from the listed suppliers are generally compatible with kits from any supplier, at worst you may need a different connector, which can be easily replaced. You probably want a battery pack that is 36, 48, or 52 volts, depending on whether you prefer lower price and longer range or a higher topspeed. DIY lipo battery packs can be built cheaply but doing so can be a fire hazard so actual packs are recommended. All hub motors above 24 V should be installed with torque arms for safety.
From what we could tell from the launch photos, the bikes have 16x1 3/8-inch wheels, chain drive, an internally geared hub, and hydraulic disc brakes. They're rounded out by full-coverage fenders, reflective-sidewall tires, ergonomic grips, a kickstand, and a bell. The company says the sleek, single-size aluminum frame fits riders between 5 feet and 6 feet tall.
For those who missed seeing it live, we've also uploaded a youtube video of our live demonstration of a regular bike being converted over to electric assist. We hope that this helps demystify the process for some considering their first kit purchase. It was a fun opportunity as the owner of the bike was at the show and could ride it away the next day.
DIY enthusiasts, with tens of thousands of converted bikes using throttle-only, 20+ mph kits, are now officially labeled Moped class. While these bikes handle and pedal-ride just as safely as the class 3 speed pedelecs in many cases, our DIY counterparts will be officially kicked out and left on their own for advocacy and legal acceptance in California. This is a big deal, without a class sticker, any DIY electric bike conversion kit is considered a Moped and not a bicycle.

In the past few years bike sharing schemes have become more popular across Britain as town and city councils don their "green" hats and look to invest in the future of public transportation. With 25 cities and towns now with dedicated bicycle sharing schemes, more than 25,000 shared bikes are now available in places such as London, Bath, Glasgow, Liverpool, Bristol, and Brighton.
The Espin is powered by a 350-watt motor that's rated for trips up to 50 miles (depending on the terrain and assist level). Once depleted, the battery fully charges in roughly five hours. Thankfully, Espin makes it easy to remove the battery, allowing you to quickly recharge it at home or in the office between trips. A backlit LCD control hub displays your basic metrics and battery life while in transit and LED headlights add a touch of light when needed.
This thing is also kitted out with a full SRAM groupset, RockShox Yari RC front shocks, Custom Fox Float suspension at the rear and enormously punchy SRAM disc brakes at the front and rear. Fundamentally, it's a mighty off-road machine with pro-spec kit that introduces a new style of trail riding, allowing adrenaline junkies to ride further, climb harder and descend faster than ever before.
Like most electric bikes, the Rad Wagon is also fairly heavy, weighing 72 pounds. The last drawback is that it comes in only one frame size (which I imagine helps to keep costs lower) that fits rider heights between 5 foot 2 inches and 6 foot 2 inches. My 6 foot 4 husband, however, can ride the bike just fine, so there's some wiggle room to this range.
For those who missed seeing it live, we've also uploaded a youtube video of our live demonstration of a regular bike being converted over to electric assist. We hope that this helps demystify the process for some considering their first kit purchase. It was a fun opportunity as the owner of the bike was at the show and could ride it away the next day.
In a friction drive motor, a small, solid wheel rotates against the side of the tire in order to drive it. The first motorcycles used the same concept, with a motor mounted above the front wheel. The problem is that the drive rubs at the side of the tire. It's inefficient, and it quickly wears the sidewall away. Tires need to be replaced every couple hundred miles. For this reason, you'll seldom see electric bikes with this type of drive anymore.
A local unit of government having jurisdiction over a road or bikeway (including the Department of Natural Resources in the case of state bike trails) is authorized to restrict e-bike use if: the use is not consistent with the safety or general welfare of others; or the restriction is necessary to meet the terms of any legal agreements concerning the land on which a bikeway has been established.
The cargo bike is run by Escargo, and their delivery rider Elric Prynn cycles the delivery bike (he calls her Matilda) from the Quay up the cycle paths to the city centre, avoiding road traffic delays on the Exeter Bridges. The cargo bike is used to deliver hundreds of loaves of bread each day. Escargo was set up in September 2017 by ex-management consultant Jenny Ryding, and the delivery bike was specially made for Jenny by Iceni Cycles in Somerset.
The Wavecrest Tidalforce M-750 was based on The original military experimental M-313 model. The M-313/M-750X was the first electric bike to be made and tested by Wavecrest Labs. It is based on a design developed for the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) that was meant to allow zero-heat long distance troop movements for the United States Marine Corps in Afghanistan. The rear wheel in-hub motor and 36 volt/8ah front-hub battery were mounted onto a standard Montague Bicycles Paratrooper Bicycle frame. The 1000 watt rear hub motor had no set speed restriction, but was limited to about 25-32 (depending on load weight) MPH on a flat course. The distance the bike traveled on a single charge ranged from 15 miles (heavier load with no pedaling) to about 25 miles (vigorous assisted pedaling with less hill climbing).
"Bicycle" means either of the following: (1) A device having two wheels and having at least one saddle or seat for the use of a rider which is propelled by human power. (2) A device having two or three wheels with fully operable pedals and an electric motor of less than 750 watts (one horsepower), whose maximum speed on a paved level surface, when powered solely by such a motor while ridden, is less than 20 miles per hour.
"Medical Exemptions" are also a standard right in the State of Texas for motorcycles & even bicyclists. Through Texas's motorcycle helmet law (bicycle helmet laws from city ordinances), it is only required for those 21 years old or younger to wear a helmet. However, a medical exemption, [59][60][61][62][63][64] written by a certified licensed medical physician or licensed chiropractor, which exempts one from wearing a helmet, can be used for bicyclists if helmets are required.
This is list of the best performing, best value electric bikes for 2018 / 2019. For each category I list two models, the first recommendation is based on performance and the second is based on affordability. As you explore the list and get to know EBR, check out the ebike community forum for more personalized feedback. Share your height, weight, budget and intended use (along with bikes you like) to get advice from actual owners and moderators.
Power-assist: Also known as pedal-assist bikes, these are the bicycle equivalents of hybrid cars: they're designed to be pedaled quite a lot of the time and electrically powered either when you're tired or when you feel like a bit of electric help (when you're going up hill, for example). Unlike full-power bikes, they don't have hub motors; instead, there's a separate electric motor mounted near the rear wheel and driving it either through the gear sprocket or simply by pressing against the rear tire. Where a hub motor is difficult or impossible to pedal without any power (because you're effectively turning it into a generator), power-assist motors turn easily with little or no resistance when you pedal. That gives power-assist bikes much greater range than hub-motor ones (as much as 80–145km or 50–90 miles).
Saddles also vary with rider preference, from the cushioned ones favored by short-distance riders to narrower saddles which allow more room for leg swings. Comfort depends on riding position. With comfort bikes and hybrids, cyclists sit high over the seat, their weight directed down onto the saddle, such that a wider and more cushioned saddle is preferable. For racing bikes where the rider is bent over, weight is more evenly distributed between the handlebars and saddle, the hips are flexed, and a narrower and harder saddle is more efficient. Differing saddle designs exist for male and female cyclists, accommodating the genders' differing anatomies and sit bone width measurements, although bikes typically are sold with saddles most appropriate for men. Suspension seat posts and seat springs provide comfort by absorbing shock but can add to the overall weight of the bicycle.
The federal law will not prohibit a motor vehicle label and additional restrictions given by the state. States will typically define e-mopeds in the 1000W range (1.5 hp) and speeds attainable to 30mph, and include a few requirements such as a helmet, eye protection, and a driver's license. States may also require title, registration, and insurance for mopeds.
But electric bicycles—e-bikes—are new territory for me. Broadly speaking, there are two basic options in e-bike land: power-on-demand and pedal-assist. With the former, the rider can control the speed with a throttle instead of just pedaling. Think moped but with an electric motor instead of internal combustion. Pedal-assist, by contrast, requires the rider to do some of the work. The electric motor won't engage unless the rider is pedaling.

NFL Football Free Predictions
Presented by Winners and Whiners in partnership with CFN!
In the NFL, dogs went 10-5 ATS in Week 5. Tampa Bay, Cleveland and Oakland were big road dogs that came up with easy outright wins. In Week 6, the Steelers visit the Ravens, Minnesota visits the New York Giants and Dallas hosts Green Bay.
*Baltimore has major issues on defense after allowing 40 points to the Browns at home last week and 33 the week before to the Chiefs. Pittsburgh is not as explosive, but they'll rely on the run and their defense in this one. That formula worked on Monday night against Cincinnati. Expect a low-scoring, hard-hitting battle as usual. Take the Steelers and the points.
*Don't look now, but the New York Giants may have a football team. They have the same record as the disappointing Minnesota Vikings at 2-2. But rookie Daniel Jones faces his toughest test against a real defense. He threw two picks last week against Washington. Not a good sign. Kirk Cousins will actually have time to throw this week. Lay the points on the road with the Vikes.
*Green Bay lost in primetime last Thursday to the Eagles at home, while Dallas fell on Sunday night to the Saints on the road. The Packers are banged up and a little extra rest might not be enough. Phllly's line dominated them last week and they'll see another very good line this week. Lay the points with Dallas.

YoNews Portal / 4 Renowned scientists expose major IPCC shortcomings: "Models Clearly Erroneous"« Last post by YoNews on Today at 04:25:02 PM »
The Munich Climate Conference 2019 Last weekend the climate conference by the Germany-based European Institute for Climate and Energy EIKE took place in Munich, despite threats by leftist radicals. More than a dozen leading international climate experts presented views that severely challenge mainstream alarmist climate science. 1. Alps glaciers smaller than today during much of the Holocene Among the speakers was Prof. em. Christian Schlüchter is a leading Swiss geologist who studied the glaciers of the Alps in great detail for decades. In his talk he reported his findings from very old timber found in and below glaciers, and what those ancient tree remnants tell us about the glacial epochs of the Alps.

Car Purchase - Five stars
After sales care is something that always worries me once you hand over a large amount of cash for a car, but having had an issue resolved I am very happy with the Marshall Bridgwater branch. Firstly when I went to see my Golf, I was left to check the vehicle over by myself so wasn't under any pressure and there wasn't any hard sell. I must have spent over 20 minutes checking every button and looking for fault which I couldn't find. Car was priced competitively so bought the car on the day as I was happy with it and drove it home. I had a small problem crop up shortly after purchase which wasn't a warrantee issue, I sent an email and spoke to the sales dept on the phone and the problem was resolved quickly, which was great. Car also came with one year Das Welt warranty which I have also claimed on and was easy to do at my local VW branch, nothing major, just a replacement bonnet sound deadening mat as they tend to shrink. One good thing about buying from
