Barnsby
Based in Walsall, the centre of the English Saddlery industry, Barnsby have been making top quality saddles and bridles for over 200 years. The name Barnsby is synonymous with the very best in saddlery and whether you require a saddle, bridle, or piece of ancillary equipment you may be assured that every item in the range is of the highest quality.
Barnsby's Extreem Event Saddle is a radical new concept in saddle design - using an incredibly tough, super light weight carbon fibre tree, with an ultra close contact design, the Xtreem offers the ultimate competitive edge. Weighing an incredible 3.5kg the Xtreem Event is probably the lightest event saddle in the world. With a laid back cantle to create the event seat, all over waxed leather for ultimate grip and mono flap for optimised leg contact the Barnsby Xtreem Event is a revolution in the Eventing World.
Barnsby are generously awarding an Xtreem Event Saddle to the individual gold medallist, along with GP Grip Pads to the top 10 individuals.

The Saddlers Company
The Worshipful Company of Saddlers is one of the very oldest of the City of London Livery companies. The earliest surviving records of a Guild of Saddlers in London date from circa 1160 AD, although the guild could well pre-date that.
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 Company supports almost all disciplines of British equestrianism, concentrating on younger and emerging riders, through the award of saddlery prizes and vouchers at a broad range of equestrian competitions across the country. It aims to promote the use of good British saddlery by good British riders of all ages and experience.
With this in mind The Saddlers Company are generously donating a saddle to the youngest rider in the top 10 (having not previously won a Saddlers Company Prize Saddle this season).
