Answered by Deputy Minister for Arts and Sport, and Chief Whip | Answered on 25/10/2022
Through Sport Wales, the Be Active Wales Fund has provided funding to 15 community equestrian clubs, investing a total of £88,886 since the scheme was introduced in 2020.
The Welsh Government also provided direct support to the horse racing industry to survive the Covid pandemic. Funding of £1.7m was awarded through the Spectator Sports Fund, which was shared between the three racecourses in Wales (Chepstow, Ffos Las and Bangor-on-Dee).
