## **TRUSTEES' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2025**
The Trustees present their annual report together with the financial statements of the charity for the 1 September 2024 to 31 August 2025.

Since the charity qualifies as small under section 382 of the Companies Act 2006, the strategic report required of medium and large companies under the Companies Act 2006 (Strategic Report and Directors' Report) Regulations 2013 has been omitted.
## **Objectives and activities**
## **a. Policies and objectives**
The charity’s objectives are:
- To provide education, training and welfare to naturally talented prospective riders;
- Fulfilling the pursuit of dreams in three main eventing activities: Cross-country, Dressage and Show Jumping;
- Raising awareness of the programme offered by the Foundation within the eventing community to help further promote the aims of the charity.
In setting objectives and planning for activities, the Trustees have given due consideration to general guidance published by the Charity Commission relating to public benefit, including the guidance 'Public benefit: running a charity (PB2)'.
## **b. Strategies for achieving objectives**
The Trustees have outlined the following strategies to achieve the above objectives:
- Deliver an education programme offered by the charity and the Young Riders Academy with professional education in business and economics, communication, mental coaching and veterinary;

## **Objectives and activities (continued)**
## **c. Activities undertaken to achieve objectives**
During the year the charity undertook the following specific activities in order to achieve its objectives:
- Education sessions were attended provided by the charity and the Young Riders Academy;
- Individual mental coaching sessions were held with each rider to help improve their confidence;
- Questionnaires were circulated to gain feedback and identify areas where the programme could be improved;
- Pathway Training Days were organised for up to 40 riders over a period of 2 days providing opportunities for Show Jumping and Dressage training on the horse as well as to speak to Pilates and Business coaches;
- In June, riders sponsored by the Foundation had the opportunity to attend an educational session abroad as part of our partnership with A Young Riders Academy.
## **d. Social investment policies**
The Foundation is the proud owner of Wesko, four-star winner and British Eventing Horse of the year 2015. Tim Price, a New-Zealand eventer, and ambassador to the Foundation, currently rides and competes with Wesko. Collectively, as ambassadors to the Foundation, their partnership is made directly in the pursuit of the Foundation's charitable purposes and helps raise the Foundation's activities within the Eventing and Equestrian sports communities through their continued participation in worldwide competitions.
Wesko has now been relieved and put under the care of Tim Price. The Foundation retains legal title of Wesko.
## **e. Grant-making policies**
The Foundation receives donated goods and services which are then utilised by the riders to further the objectives of the Foundation.
## **f. Volunteers**
Currently, all the Trustees of the Foundation are volunteers.
## **Achievements and performance**
## **a. Main achievements of the charity**
During the year the charity enabled its sponsored riders to undertake many activities which would enable them to further their eventing dreams and pursue the charity's objectives of increasing education, training and welfare of these riders.
- In January 2024, the Foundation launched the Pathway Programme, where 16 riders were selected to participate in training camps throughout the year, including monthly education sessions.
- The same riders will have the opportunity to travel abroad to Lugano with the Young Riders Academy in June and attend the prestigious CHI Geneve in December.
- The charity secured a venue sponsor from Agria Equine Insurance, which will cover venue hire costs for the training camps

**WESKO EQUESTRIAN FOUNDATION (A company limited by guarantee)**
**TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2025**
## **Achievements and performance (continued)**
## **b. Review of activities**
A review of activities is undertaken up to 4 times a year. The Foundation focused on our first round of applicants and developing a comprehensive education plan and annual timetable for our riders. Continual feedback was sought from participants to determine programme areas which can be improved. The key performance indicators are mainly based on what the riders feel they have gained from the training on the horse and the education programme.
## **c. Factors relevant to achieve objectives**
- Value provided of the various education sessions;
- Value of the training received;
- Communication between the stakeholders of the Foundation being the Trustees, trainers and most importantly, the riders.
## **d. Investment policy and performance**
The Foundation does not have a formal investment policy at the present time. The investments held by the Foundation currently consist of an investment property and ownership of an eventing horse, Wesko. The investment property is valued periodically by an expert and otherwise is assessed each year by the Trustees, as part of their review of the charity's financial performance.
## **Financial review**
## **a. Going concern**
After making appropriate enquiries, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements. Further details regarding the adoption of the going concern basis can be found in the accounting policies.
## **b. Reserves policy**
The purpose of this reserves policy is to ensure that the charity holds sufficient funds to:
- Continue operating during periods of reduced income
- Meet unexpected costs or emergencies
- Deliver its services consistently
## **c. Material investments policy**
The Foundation has a significant investment in the Windrush property and residence which was leased to a third party during the financial period to help provide an additional source of income to help fund the Foundation's charitable activities. The investment property was initially recognised at its transaction cost and subsequently measured at fair value as at the Balance sheet date.

The major risk to which the Foundation is exposed is to is the inability to find and secure a multi-year sponsor. By securing a long-term sponsor, the Foundation will be able to continue to work towards achieving the Foundation's charitable activities.
## **e. Principal funding**
The Foundation received cumulative cash donations of £30,000. The Trustees are currently in the process of discussing future donations. although no agreements have been achieved at present. These donations help to fund the operational costs of the Foundation as well as travel and subsistence expenditure for our riders during their attendance at education sessions.
## **Structure, governance and management**
## **a. Constitution**
Wesko Equestrian Foundation is registered as a charitable company limited by guarantee and was set up by a Memorandum of Association.

The management of the charity is the responsibility of the Trustees who are elected and co-opted under the terms of the Articles of Association. New Trustees can be appointed with a simple majority of votes at a meeting of the Trustees assuming a quorum is present in line with the Trust deed.
## **c. Organisational structure and decision-making policies**
Mariachiara Apruzzeze managed the day to day operations of the Foundation up until 4th December 2025, at which point the Trustees Emma Chesworth, Jane Chablani and Lesley Withers took over these responsibilities. Stuart Carter runs the property management of Windrush.
## **d. Policies adopted for the induction and training of Trustees**
Due to the early stages of operation of the Foundation, Trustees have not been provided with formal induction and training. However, through their contacts they have access to both legal and financial advisors.
## **e. Pay policy for key management personnel**
Remuneration of key management personnel was set by the Board of Trustees and any pay rises and discretionary performance-related bonuses are agreed by the Board of Trustees.
## **Plans for future periods**
The charity plans to continue supporting the Pathway programme and fostering partnerships with industry sponsors. The charity will work closely with the new set of riders to ensure they receive quality training and mentorship opportunities throughout the programme.

**INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2025**
## **Independent examiner's report to the Trustees of Wesko Equestrian Foundation ('the charity')**
I report to the charity Trustees on my examination of the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31 August 2025.
## **Responsibilities and basis of report**
As the Trustees of the charity (and its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act').
Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the charity are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of the charity's accounts carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act'). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act.
## **Independent examiner's statement**
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe:
1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or
2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or
3. the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the accounts give a 'true and fair' view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or
4. the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities [applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)].
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
This report is made solely to the charity's Trustees, as a body, in accordance with Part 4 of the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. My work has been undertaken so that I might state to the charity's Trustees those matters I am required to state to them in an independent examiner's report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, I do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charity and the charity's Trustees as a body, for my work or for this report.

# **WESKO EQUESTRIAN FOUNDATION (A company limited by guarantee)**
**NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2025**
## **1. General information**
Wesko Equestrian Foundation is a company limited by guarantee registered in England and Wales. The members of the company are the Trustees named on page 1. In the event of the company being wound up, the liability in respect of the guarantee is limited to £1 per member of the company. The principal activity of the charity is to advance education, training and community participation in Eventing and Equestrian sports.
## **2. Accounting policies**
## **2.1 Basis of preparation of financial statements**
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) - Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006.
Wesko Equestrian Foundation meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy.
## **2.2 Going concern**
After making appropriate enquiries, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.
## **2.3 Income**
All income is recognised once the charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably.
Where the donated good is a fixed asset, it is measured at fair value, unless it is impractical to measure this reliably, in which case the cost of the item to the donor should be used. The gain is recognised as income from donations and a corresponding amount is included in the appropriate fixed asset class and depreciated over the useful economic life in accordance with the charity's accounting policies.
On receipt, donated professional services and facilities are recognised on the basis of the value of the gift to the charity which is the amount it would have been willing to pay to obtain services or facilities of equivalent economic benefit on the open market; a corresponding amount is then recognised in expenditure in the period of receipt.

**WESKO EQUESTRIAN FOUNDATION (A company limited by guarantee)**
## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2025**
## **2. Accounting policies (continued)**
## **2.4 Expenditure**
Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is classified by activity. The costs of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity and support costs which are not attributable to a single activity are apportioned between those activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. Central staff costs are allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the asset’s use.
Expenditure on charitable activities is incurred on directly undertaking the activities which further the charity's objectives, as well as any associated support costs.
Grants payable are charged in the year when the offer is made except in those cases where the offer is conditional, such grants being recognised as expenditure when the conditions attaching are fulfilled. Grants offered subject to conditions which have not been met at the year end are noted as a commitment, but not accrued as expenditure.
All expenditure is inclusive of irrecoverable VAT.
## **2.5 Interest receivable**
Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the charity; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the institution with whom the funds are deposited.
## **2.6 Investments**
Fixed asset investments are a form of financial instrument and are initially recognised at their transaction cost and subsequently measured at fair value at the balance sheet date, unless the value cannot be measured reliably in which case it is measured at cost less impairment. Investment gains and losses, whether realised or unrealised, are combined and presented as ‘Net Gains/(Losses) on investments’ in the statement of financial activities.
## **2.7 Debtors**
Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.
## **2.8 Cash at bank and in hand**
Cash at bank and in hand includes cash and short-term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.

## **WESKO EQUESTRIAN FOUNDATION (A company limited by guarantee)**
# **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2025**
## **2. Accounting policies (continued)**
## **2.9 Liabilities and provisions**
Liabilities are recognised when there is an obligation at the balance sheet date as a result of a past event, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefit will be required in settlement, and the amount of the settlement can be estimated reliably.
Liabilities are recognised at the amount that the charity anticipates it will pay to settle the debt or the amount it has received as advanced payments for the goods or services it must provide.
## **2.10 Financial instruments**
The charity only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
## **2.11 Pensions**
The charity operates a defined contribution pension scheme for its employees. A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which the company pays fixed contributions into a separate entity. Once the contributions have been paid the company has no further payment obligations.
The contributions are recognised as an expense in the statement of financial activities when they fall due. Amounts not paid are shown in accruals as a liability in the Statement of financial position. The assets of the plan are held separately from the company in an independently administered fund.
## **2.12 Fund accounting**
General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity and which have not been designated for other purposes.
Investment income, gains and losses are allocated to the appropriate fund.
