Win a Ranching Holiday with Buck & Toggi
|
|
|
Iconic lifestyle, country and equestrian clothing brand, Toggi, has partnered with
Revolver Entertainment to celebrate the cinema and DVD release of Buck, an award
winning film which follows real-life "horse-whisperer" Buck Brannaman.
A "truly inspiring" film of "an ordinary man with an extraordinary gift", Buck
eschews the harshness of his upbringing and teaches people to communicate with their
horses through leadership and sensitivity, not punishment. Buck demonstrates the
importance of understanding and respect as his techniques transform horses – and
people, in a story that will touch the hearts of horse lovers everywhere.
To celebrate the release of this awe-inspiring movie, Toggi are offering you the
chance to win the adventure of a lifetime. You and a friend could be riding off
into the sunset against a backdrop of some of America's most stunning scenery
on a once-in-a-lifetime ranching experience in Colorado, courtesy of Colorado
Tourism Office and Ranch Rider.
You will be captivated by the natural splendour found throughout Colorado's
18million acres of National Parks and mountains. The home of ranchers and
cowboys, the old Sante Fe trail, route of the Pony Express, Colorado is the
birthplace of the famous Stetson hat and of Denver, boom town of the gold rush
in 1858. Ranch Rider is the UK's no. 1 specialist in ranch holidays in the USA
and Canada, offering working, guest and resort ranches. The holidays are great
for families, couples and singles and all riders from the novice to the seasoned,
as well as the non-rider will enjoy their real ranch holidays.
The ranching holiday for 2 people includes return Economy flights with British
Airways from London Heathrow to Denver, Colorado and seven nights all inclusive
at the North Fork Ranch which includes a hearty breakfast, riverside lunch and a
5 star dinner daily. The range of inclusive activities include Horseback riding,
white water rafting and guided hikes, jeep tours plus some evening entertainment.
To enter for your chance to win simply go to www.toggi.com/buck and you could be
saddling up for the holiday of a lifetime.
Buck will be in selected cinemas & on-demand from 27 April and available on DVD
and to download from 07 May.

SEIB Search for a Star & Racehorse to Riding Horse Series 2012
|
|
|
Search for a Star was designed to give amateur riders and owners an opportunity to compete at the prestigious Horse of the Year Show and to identify top class horses and ponies which may otherwise not be given the opportunity to compete at this level. It is however, run by professionals and the standards imposed are identical to those applied to professionals.
One fundamental difference is that at HOYS the judges will use radio microphones to give their thoughts and explain their decisions and at the qualifiers the competitors will have a chance to talk to the judges to find out where they went right and wrong.
The competition has gone from strength to strength and the standards have steadily improved so that it is now one of the most closely followed competitions at Horse of the Year Show.
The horses and riders that qualify for Horse of the Year Show are invited to attend a training workshop to help prepare for the big occasion.
Full details are now online for our members - good luck to those competing!

Introducing the new Riders Revealed Calendar for 2012!
|
|
|
Raising money for the ‘Get Claire Walking Campaign’ and Spinal Research
Nupfeed are really proud to be sponsoring this cheeky new calendar which features some of our best riders (including Nupafeed’s own Piggy French and Claire Robertson) looking a little less comfortable as they reveal all!
Featured riders include: Mark Todd, Mary King, Michael and William Whittaker, Andrew Thornton, Sam Thomas, Mark and Luke Tomlinson, Laura Bechtolsheimer and more!
Claire Lomas collided with a tree at Osberton Horse Trials in May 2007 leaving her with fractures to her neck, back and ribs. This Calendar is Claire’s brainchild, and she hopes to be able to raise enough money to buy a new robotic suit, due to be in the UK soon. She then plans to walk the London Marathon for Spinal Research!
This is a cause close to the heart of anyone who rides and the Riders Revealed Calendar is a great addition to any kitchen or tack room, so please visit our website at www.nupafeed.co.uk for more information.

Tri-Zone® Airlite Boots Win BETA Innovation Award
Equilibrium Products, the company behind the Tri-Zone® Airlite range of boots was the delighted recipient of an Innovation Award at the BETA (British Equestrian Trade Association) International Trade Fair. The Tri-Zone® Airlite Tendon and Fetlock boots won the title of Most Innovative Product in the prestigious Saddlery and Tack section.
Each year, BETA International brings the best and brightest new ideas in the equestrian industry together under one roof, allowing the most innovative companies to showcase their developments. The BETA Innovation Awards celebrate new products that will appeal to the trade and consumers alike.
Working from the results of three years of research and testing with scientists, vets and professional riders, Equilibrium has developed a highly innovative new tendon and fetlock boot. Using the latest high-tech materials, Equilibrium has created 'Airlite' technology in a range of boots designed to deliver high protection whilst maintaining lightness, flexibility and breathability.
The team of judges who included a vet, an international judge and selector, an equestrian commentator and Olympic event rider, commented, "We were extremely impressed with the extensive research and testing carried out by Equilibrium. It was interesting to see the way in which they had used their results to create a new technology that would address the problems of overheating caused by standard equine boots. We thought that they were competitively priced for such a high quality product – particularly one that is backed by such thorough research."
Laura Cutter, Marketing Manager at Equilibrium Products, says, "We were delighted to win this award showing that the industry has recognised the importance of a boot with high levels of leg protection balanced against potentially negative factors. All of our boots are thoroughly and independently tested before launch. We believe that horse boots are safety equipment and therefore deserve the same diligence in testing as any safety product. In our opinion, until now no other tendon and fetlock boot has been able to address all these issues in one product."
