Sponsor: Avondale Equine Vet Practice
In 2023, the British Equestrian Vaulting Team represented Great Britain by competing with great panache at the Junior World and Senior European Championships in Herning, Sweden. The whole team - vaulters, lungers, coaches, grooms and owners - were thrilled to be provided with kit sponsored by Avonvale Equine Vet Practice.
Avonvale Equine Vet Practice is an independently owned, progressive, equine-only vet practice based near Banbury, Oxfordshire. They have a team of dedicated and experienced vets and nurses providing 24-hour care, 7 days a week, ensuring your horses will always be in safe hands.
The Avonvale Equine team were ‘absolutely delighted to be supporting the British Equestrian Vaulting Team in Sweden’ and very generously provided the whole team with very smart polo shirts that were worn with pride throughout the competition, including for the opening ceremony and on the ‘kiss and cry’. The BEV again extends its thanks for the generosity of the Avonvale Equine Vet Practice.
Sponsor: The Worshipful Company of Saddlers
The Worshipful Company of Saddlers is one of the very oldest of the City of London Livery companies. Today, the Saddlers’ Company still has a close interest in, and involvement with, its original trade. This is exemplified in its support of the Society of Master Saddlers, its leadership of the development of saddlery training standards, its support of saddlery trainees and apprentices through bursaries, awards and prizes, and its promotion of British saddlery.
The Worshipful Company of Saddlers has supported British Equestrian Vaulting for many years, through grants for our grass root vaulters and donations to support the British Championships.
