Some of the world’s best equestrian athletes and a crowd of 30,000 attended the incredible 2018 Equerry Bolesworth International Horse Show last week. The show, at Bolesworth Castle, saw five days of show jumping and dressage as well as a host of entertainments, from fairground rides to motorcycle acrobatics. There were a number of riders who were competing at this breathtaking show in their Equiport apparel, so we thought we’d take a look at some of the incredible horses and riders who we spotted wearing Equiport in the ring this year.
Alex Dunning and Talon - CSI2* Accumulator 1.40m Sponsored by AC Jackson
Alex and Talon were spotted wearing their stunning Black Cat Building Consultancy branded Equiport Forward Cut Saddle Cloth in the ring throughout the Bolesworth International. Also, Alex was wearing his stylish Samshield Riding Hat and his custom De Niro Riding Boots, which were both purchased from Equiport. The gorgeous Talon was also sporting his padded Equiport Shaped Stud Girth, which provided him with exceptional comfort when jumping those huge courses!
Leigh Walker and JB’s Hot Gossip - Nupafeed Supplements Senior Discovery Sponsored by Cumberbirch Construction
Leigh Walker and JB’s Hot Gossip, owned by Jayne Bean, were spotted competing in their beautiful JB’s Hot Horses backed Equiport Saddle Cloth and Fly Veil throughout the event. It was JB’s Hot Gossip’s first stay away show and this very new partnership did extremely well. We loved seeing one of Jayne’s very exciting up and coming young horses showcasing his Equiport apparel and he’s definitely set to follow in the footsteps of his famous sisters, JB’s Hot Stuff and JB’s Hot Property.
Giorgia Distefano and Cassia DS - CSI2* 1.30m Sponsored by Alessandro Albanese
Giorgia Distefano and her striking grey mare Cassia DS jumped some super rounds at Bolesworth and were wearing their attractive San Carlo Restaurants endorsed Equiport Saddle Cloth. Giorgia is a fantastic up and coming rider, who is based with the wonderful Lance Whitehouse – she’s definitely going to be one to watch! We feel very privileged that Giorgia chooses to wear her Equiport apparel at some of the biggest shows and with an extremely sought after team.
Anya Brown and B-D Heathrow - KBIS Insurance Senior British Novice Sponsored by Nags Essential
Anya Brown and the six year old gelding, B-D Heathrow, were seen showcasing one of our personalised Equiport Forward Cut Saddle Cloths with Anya’s initials embroidered to give the combination a really unique look. The absolutely stunning B-D Heathrow, also known at home as Jack, has only a handful of shows under his belt and managed to come home with a 4th and 3rd place in the highly competitive British Novice class.
Georgia Hayes and Maxwell - 1.0m Open Sponsored by Cumberbirch Construction
Georgia Hayes and Maxwell were really sporting the Equiport look at Bolesworth International this year. Maxwell was wearing his classical Equiport Forward Cut Saddle Cloth paired alongside his matching Equiport Embroidered Logo Fly Veil. Not only that, Maxwell was also showcasing his Equiport Elasticated Breast Girth to help keep his saddle secure. We absolutely love the look Georgia and Maxwell are going for and are so pleased they chose to wear Equiport.
