Cavago, the equestrian tech company, and title sponsor of the British Dressage Associated Championships is delighted to announce a brand new partnership with one of the biggest names in equestrian sport, Carl Hester MBE. 

Olympic gold-medallist Carl Hester has become one of the most prolific figures in dressage to date. Throughout his career, Carl has successfully competed at six Olympic Games, numerous World Championships, World Equestrian Games, World Cups and European Championships.

Based in the Gloucestershire countryside, Carl is not only respected for his own competitive successes, but also for his renowned philosophy when training countless horses to Grand Prix. Through this, he has formed long-standing partnerships with many other decorated equestrian athletes, including fellow Olympian Charlotte Dujardin, and co-owns the legendary Olympic horse Valegro.

"I was initially drawn to the [Cavago] platform when I met its ambitious Founder and learned of his passion for horses,” explains Carl. “Cavago provides equine enthusiasts with so many options and ideas for equestrian-based holidays and experiences, such as beach rides, safaris, wine tastings, lessons and beyond. I have done two visits to hosts in Spain so far using Cavago, and the entire process from start to finish was a pleasure. Do explore what the site has to offer and I look forward to sharing more about our plans in the coming months.” 

Cavago aims to bridge the gap between the equestrian world and technology by giving its hosts an online presence and access to world-class payment portals and business management software. Through the website and app, horse lovers can find everything they may want in one place, whether that's booking a riding lesson, entering a competition or planning a riding holiday abroad. 

As a brand ambassador, Carl will be aiding Cavago in building awareness of what the software can do for the horse world, particularly focusing on its competition and clinic entry system and riding holiday booking capabilities. 

"We couldn't be more delighted that Carl Hester believes in the Cavago platform," says Tauseef Qadri, CEO and Founder of Cavago. "I've always admired and respected Carl Hester, not only as an extraordinary athlete and horseman, but also for his values as a person. Having him on board means big things are on the horizon for Cavago, and we as a team couldn't be more excited for what's to come."

Further details of the partnership are yet to be announced, but followers, customers and hosts on Cavago can expect to see big things from the brand in the near future.
