British Showjumping is delighted to announce Equithème as the new title sponsor of the Leading Pony Showjumper of the Year Championship.
The Championship is one of the most prestigious in the British Showjumping calendar and it is one of the Championships that every pony rider wants to win.
Equithème Director Eric Imiola said: “It is very exciting that we are the new sponsors of the Leading Pony Showjumper of the Year Championship, it is an iconic class that all pony riders are keen to win. With the final taking place at such a prestigious event as Horse of the Year Show, we are very much looking forward to following the qualifiers as they get underway in the New Year.”
The Equithème Leading Pony Showjumper of the Year is one of the most important series on the summer calendar and is open to Grade JA ponies ridden by a Junior Member. During the summer months, combinations will battle it out for a place in the Championship Final, which will once again take place during Horse of the Year Show at Birmingham’s NEC Genting Arena (3rd – 7th October 2018). As part of this sponsorship, the National 148cm Championship at the British Showjumping National Championships (7th – 12th August 2018) will also be prefixed with the Equithème name.
