Celebrating the Best Turned Out Award
Equine Bitting Solutions is delighted to be supporting the show by sponsoring the Best Turned Out Award.
Turnout is an important part of the sport, especially at a venue like Hickstead. It reflects care, pride and professionalism, and it plays a big role in the overall impression a combination makes. The Best Turned Out award is a great way to recognise the riders and grooms who put that extra thought and effort into presenting their horses to the highest standard.
We will be keeping a close eye on the beautifully presented horses and riders throughout the show and look forward to rewarding the combinations that really stand out.
