CHARLES OWEN SPONSOR STARS OF THE FUTURE

Charles Owen & Company are delighted to announce their Product Support of the British Pony Three Day Eventing Squad. The final squad will be named after the Final Selection Trial on 1st July. Despite the decimation of the season due to FMD, the Squad have refused to admit defeat despite a lack of funding and approached Charles Owen in late May. An immediate and positive swift response has enabled everyone involved to concentrate on preparations.

During the past three and a half years Charles Owen have worked closely with leading international riders. The Sponsorship of the Pony Championship Squad is a further initiative enabling them to invest back into the future of the sport. The prospective international stars of the future are frequently found in these ranks, having progressed and learnt through the invaluable Pony Club Organisation.

Roy Burek M.D. commented “The Pony Club and British Eventing does such an important job securing and encouraging talented young up and coming riders in the early stages of their careers. We are pleased to be able to support both Organisations through this sponsorship. It is refreshing to be involved with the Junior ranks at such a significant International level. We now support from the grass roots level of equestrianism right through to the highest Senior levels.”

Each of the five Squad Members will receive items of headwear suitable for each of the three phases and Gloves, Silks and Body Protectors in the Team colours selected from the extensive Charles Owen range. In addition to this, Trainers, Supporters and Grooms will also receive branded and personalised Polo Shirts to wear in the heat of the Spanish Sunshine.

Charles Owen & Company are confident that this initial sponsorship will lead to an increased involvement and further initiatives for Junior Riders in the sport of Horse Trials
