H&H continue Foxhunter sponsorship

Horse & Hound is to continue its sponsorship of the Foxhunter Championship Series. This year will mark the 12th time the magazine has supported this prestigious competition.

“The Foxhunter is a great sponsorship for Horse & Hound because it covers such a wide spread of regions and up-and-coming horses and riders,” says acting editor Kate Green. “Even better, it culminates in a prestigious final at the Horse of the Year Show where it’s so pleasing to find that riders really want to win the Horse & Hound Foxhunter final.”

Last year almost 2,000 competitors entered the first round of the Foxhunter Championship Series. The final at the 2005 Horse of the Year was watched at home by millions of viewers.

Jacky Knightley of the BSJA said: ”Horse & Hound have led the magazine industry with their in-depth coverage of countryside matters and equestrian sport. The Association is delighted with their continued involvement.”

Meanwhile, Petplan Equine has announced that will sponsor the BSJA’s senior newcomers championship during 2006.

Tickets are now available for the British Show Jumping Awards Ball, organised by Tim Stockdale. The black tie ball, held at the Birmingham Metropole on 31 January, will feature a live cabaret and the £70 tickets include a four-course dinner, auction, raffle and dancing to a band.
