As a brand that has supported the British Equestrian Team at every Olympics since 1984, this sponsorship further cements our commitment to supporting riders at every level of their careers. We look forward to discussing feed and forage advice with competitors, their friends and supporters over the course of the series and at the Winter Championships at Hartpury College in April 2023.”
