Leading UK equestrian supplier and manufacturer, Equiport, has today announced that the company will be sponsoring an international show jumping class at the upcoming British Open and utilising the event to launch a very special opportunity for a British Showjumping young rider to win sponsorship worth over £8,000!
This very generous promotion features a first prize of Equiport sponsorship which will give one lucky winner £1,000 towards entry fees, a training session with international rider Billy Twomey and a huge range of Equiport products for the rider and their horse/s. With runners-up prizes also on offer, this really is a promotion not to miss!

Equiport is a supplier for top riders, including Billy Twomey, Nick Skelton, Robert Smith and Cian O’Connor, and prides itself on excellent quality and service. All Equiport products can be made to measure and they are the only retailer to offer their products in a range of colours, sizes and variations that can be made to the customer’s specification. Equiport Director, Ashley Gaynon, introduced the sponsorship promotion to give something back to the equestrian industry and support British young riders.
Ashley, commented, “There are so many talented show jumpers within the British young rider rankings and I feel really privileged to be able to give one of them a leg up in their career by backing them with sponsorship. Having money towards entry fees, an invaluable lesson with the world-class rider Billy Twomey and A LOT of Equiport products to kit out them and their horse, is going to be, I hope, a huge help to any young rider. What’s more, our products are the choice of professionals and the quality is second to none which means they will last well into their senior years.”
“I look forward to launching the promotion at the British Open where we will also be sponsoring an international class, The Equiport Classic, on Thursday 8th April.”
The British Open is one of the most prestigious Championships in the British Show Jumping calendar and the organiser, Grandstand Event Management, is thrilled to be working with Equiport.

As a leading brand in the equestrian world, their products will offer great benefits to our competitors and visitors who purchase from their trade stand during the event. The British Open also provides Equiport with the perfect platform to promote their products to their prime target audience.”
