Equerry Horse Feeds Under 25 Championship at Liverpool International Horse Show
Posted on Tuesday, August 29, 2017 by Heather Dodd
THIS year’s Liverpool International Horse Show will see the country’s leading young riders competing in the prestigious Equerry Horse Feeds Under 25 Championship.
The action gets underway as part of the Friday Evening Performance, December 29 when competitors will tackle a course up to 1.45m.
Last year’s winner Millie Allen set the class alight when winning what proved to be one of the show highlights.
Liverpool International Horse Show President, Nina Barbour, said: “We are looking forward to a fantastic first night Evening Performance with the Equerry Horse Feeds Under 25 Championship.
“This will be followed by the Arenacross Freestyle Motocross Crew, our fabulous and first time seen in the UK fire, pyrotechnic and trick riding display Luminoso, the ever-popular Shetland Pony Grand National, new Dressage to Music Inter 1 Freestyle and to round off the evening Rick Parfitt Junior and the RPJ Band.”
The Equerry range of top-quality horse feeds contains something for every horse or pony, whether feeding a leisure horse or a competition horse, there is a product to meet their nutritional requirements.
The range provides everything from High Fibre Cubes for horses and ponies at rest or in very light work to more conditioning options including Conditioning Cubes and Mix, a low starch ‘Non-Heating’ Conditioning Mash and a very palatable Veteran Mix.
Liverpool International Horse Show takes place from December 29 to 31, at The Echo Arena on Liverpool’s iconic waterfront.

Toys for Boys at Society of Master Saddlers National Competition
Posted on Tuesday, August 29, 2017 by Heather Dodd
THE 2018 Society of Master Saddlers National Saddlery Competition will see an innovative and ‘thought-provoking’ President’s Choice class.
This year’s President, Sue Norton has come up with the idea of ‘Boys Toys’ – any leather toy for a boy of any age.
Said Sue: “As part of my year as President, I was also given the opportunity to put forward the idea for the theme for The President’s Choice class and wanted to come up with something that was really different and that would give everyone plenty of scope to be creative.
“I am very fortunate to have a grandson who is one-years-old, a husband enjoying semi-retirement and a Dad, who at 93-years-old is still active and well – what more can I say!
I really hope those entering will throw themselves into the theme and wow us with their designs and craftsmanship.”
The class is open to all Society of Master Saddlers’ members and their employees and must be the sole work of the entrant.
The entries will be judged on quality and craftsmanship as well as their innovative design and features.
Once again the class will have an added dimension as it will also be part judged at BETA International in January where all the entries will be on display at The Society of Master Saddlers’ stand.
Entries must be sent to the society office by January 18, 2018. The Society of Master Saddlers National Saddlery Competition takes place at Saddlers’ Hall, London on Monday, February 5.
