The funding that the British Equestrian World Class Programme receives from the National Lottery and UK Sport is pivotal in preparing our teams for senior championships and supporting them on the ground.
Di Lampard commented on the team: “I’m really exited about the squad I have for Herning; we are joined together with the approach and attitude to win medals. The last time we visited Herning, we won a team gold plus individual silver and bronze, so let’s hope for much the same if not better! The experience in the team we have, combined with youth bodes for a bright future for British Showjumping.”
British Equestrian is also extremely grateful for the support we enjoy from our partners – Bates Saddles, Dodson & Horrell, Fairfax & Favor, Haygain, NAF and Toggi – and team suppliers – Equi-Trek Horseware, Lotus Romeo, Marksway Horsehage and Point Two. We’re indebted for the year-round support they provide to the World Class Programme and British teams, which helps us to best prepare for senior championships.
