The brand will be Gold Sponsors of the Gala Dinner, which takes place on the evening of the Trust’s International Conference to be held on 8 December 2018 in Nottingham.

“We’re delighted to be involved with the Saddle Research Trust again this year and are very much looking forward to the Conference, and the Gala Dinner,” said Simon Middleton, Managing Director of Zebra Products, the exclusive distributor of Amerigo in the UK. “We will be hosting our own stand at the Conference, and will be joined by Peter Menet, Amerigo’s own saddle designer.

“As a brand, Amerigo is continually researching and developing its designs to ensure that they offer the best possible performance, fully aligned to the horses’ natural biomechanics while providing comfort to riders. Therefore, it seemed the perfect fit to support the Saddle Research Trust.”

The Saddle Research Trust, a charitable organisation, has been established to promote the welfare of the ridden horse and to scientifically and objectively lead and support research into the influence of saddles on the performance of horses and riders.

Manufacturer of high-quality bits and stirrups, Sprenger, has announced a special deal for retailers in 2018.
The offer gives a 20% discount off trade prices across all products from Monday 1 January to Thursday 15 February 2018. It is available to all Sprenger retailers and is to be passed on to customers.

Following a review of its rules, The British Eventing Sport Committee has joined BD and the FEI in legalising horizontal rowel spurs for use in its competitions.
This is good news for manufacturer of quality spurs, Sprenger, whose range includes the popular Comfort Roller Spur with horizontal rowel.
“These stainless steel spurs from Sprenger feature a large 18mm brass horizontal rowel which has smooth edges and is designed to glide along the horse’s side,” said Simon Middleton, Managing Director of Zebra Products, the exclusive distributor of Sprenger in the UK. “Their unique and innovative design gives a faster and more direct contact, but it is also very kind and soft due to the rolling action.
“We’ve been lobbying for their inclusion over the past year. Many professional and amateur competitors use these spurs, and we are delighted by the decision to legalise them.”

A 10% discount on all Equipe saddles, originally due to end in November, has been extended for the rest of the year. Unveiled by Zebra Products as part of celebrations to mark Equipe’s 20th anniversary, the offer is a thank you to customers for their loyalty.

The opportunity is available to all Equipe retailers and is to be passed on to end consumers.

Any saddles ordered between now and 31 December will receive the discount.

The UK and Ireland’s leading distributer of premium equestrian brands, Zebra Products Ltd, has announced a partnership between Olympic silver medallist Zara Tindall MBE and three of its innovative brands.

The eventing star will be teaming up with quality supplements and care products manufacturer, Cavalor, technical rug experts, Bucas, and renowned Italian horse boot manufacturer, Veredus.

Sprenger has added a new product to its high-quality range of jointed stirrups. Flexcite feature the brand’s distinctive System-4 flexible joint and bow form, which ensure that the leg is kept in the correct position.
The flex of the stirrup increases its strength to lower the risk of breakages, and the unique shape supports the release of the foot in case of accident.
The design is shock-absorbing and gentle on ligaments and joints, with a wider tread area for perfect balance. The two types of rubber on the tread also ensures a better grip on the stirrup.
