We are delighted to welcome Rosanna Hart to her new role as Director of the National Equine Welfare Council (NEWC). Rosanna brings a wealth of experience, leadership, and dedication to equine welfare, honed over several years working in various roles at Bransby Horses Rescue & Welfare.

As the Rehoming Manager at Bransby Horses, Rosanna has overseen the Perfect Partners rehoming scheme, a UK-wide initiative designed to place rescued equines in long-term, loving homes. Her leadership in this area has been key to ensuring successful rehoming efforts and helping countless horses find their forever homes.

Rosanna’s journey with Bransby Horses began in 2017 as an Equine Welfare Assistant, and since then, she has taken on multiple critical roles, including Veterinary Coordinator, Facilities Manager, Admissions and Biosecurity Manager, and Head of External Welfare. Her diverse experience in these leadership positions has given her a holistic perspective on equine welfare and the challenges faced by the sector.

A passionate advocate for professional excellence and continuous improvement, Rosanna's commitment to innovation has made her a driving force for success in all her endeavours. She looks forward to bringing this same energy and vision to her work with NEWC, where she aims to strengthen the council's initiatives and further its mission of promoting and safeguarding equine welfare across the UK.

Beyond her professional accomplishments, Rosanna’s personal connection to the equine world runs deep. Raised in a "horsey" family, she has owned and ridden horses from a young age, developing a particular passion for native breeds and Arab horses. While she competed successfully as a child, she now enjoys a more relaxed life riding through the beautiful Lincolnshire Wolds and caring for her beloved Bransby Horses non-ridden cob, Boots.

We are excited to see the positive impact Rosanna will undoubtedly have on the National Equine Welfare Council, and we look forward to the future of equine welfare under her leadership. Please join us in warmly welcoming her to the team!
