We are delighted to announce that easibed has become our Official Stable Sponsor for both Shows.
Starting with the forthcoming 2008 British Open and the landmark Diamond Jubilee Horse of the Year Show later this year (8th – 12th October) , leading brand, easibed, will also be the Official Bedding Supplier for both events and will hold both title rights for the next three years.
easibed has also joined with the Premier Centres Association (PCA) and the British Open to devise a national show jumping competition. There have been nine qualifying rounds of the PCA easibed plus Futura which have been held at each of the PCA member centres during the 2007/ 2008 winter season. The first and second placed horse/rider combinations have qualified for the £15,000 final to be held at the British Open Show Jumping Championships on Sunday 6th April, 2008
