Do you have yours yet?

Do you have the equestrian fashion accessory of 2010 yet? Equestrian Team GBR and Hiho Silver joined forces to launch a beautiful silver bracelet with red carnelian, blue lapis lazuli and white pearls – the stylish way to show support for the British Equestrian Teams. A generous donation is made for every bracelet sold to help the teams on their quest to win gold now and in the future and they are available to order online at www.hihosilver.co.uk.
The bracelets retail at just £40 with 20% of every sale donated to Equestrian Team GBR.
The British Equestrian Teams are currently seeking funding to support their trip the World Equestrian Games, which are being held in Kentucky, USA in October. The Olympic and Paralympic teams are generously supported by lottery funding via UK Sport, but the non-Olympic sports of driving, endurance, reining and vaulting do not receive funding for the event.
Team GBR also utilise funds raised to support up and coming riders, in conjunction with the UK Sport funded World Class Programme, to ensure a golden future for the sport.
“We are delighted to partner with Hiho to extend the Team GBR products available to our supporters,” said Will Connell, Team GBR Performance Director. “I know that Equestrian Team GBR has huge support throughout the country and we want to give supporters more opportunities to get involved in anyway we can – this is a great product and also a great opportunity to continue to fundraise for the Teams”
“Hiho are extremely proud to be a fundraiser for Team GBR,” said Andrew Ransford, Managing Director of Hiho Silver. “The bracelets have been hugely popular and are quickly becoming this summer’s equestrian fashion accessory.”
Keep up with the British Equestrian teams at www.equestrianteamgbr.co.uk where you can also sign up for FREE to Team GBR Ontrack – the official supporters club for the teams.
