Sponsorship

Endurance is an exciting sport of long distance riding; requiring dedication, skill of the rider to guide their horse successfully to the end of the distance, and most importantly a great connection between horse and rider.

In the UK, Endurance Riding can cover between 8km and 160km over controlled trials and vet controls where during the entirity of the ride, horse welfare is paramount.

The Hexham Ride is extremeally well established, being one of the oldest events on the UK endurance calendar with its inaugral ride held in 1987- even predating the organisation of Endurance GB itself! Steeped in Endurance history, the ride has taken many forms. It has hosted the prestigious Northern Championships on many occasion and even welcomed riders from across the globe when Hexham held the first Northern FEI ride in 2003.

The Hexham Ride Organising Committee are looking to work alongside Sponsorship Partners who follow the same ethos and passion as we do. First and foremost- horse welfare and rider safety will always be number one in our sport. The thrill and excitement will never outweigh these key principles. However, all competitors, volunteers and supporters can expect a fabulous event of true horsemanship, passion and connection between human and horse.

As one of the major Northern Endurance rides, Hexham will create widespread exposure across the Endurance and Equestrian scene, alongside local media and press. We have a dedicated team working on our website, social media accounts and press engagement to maximise our levels of visibility wth equestrian professionals, equestrian media and horse enthusiasts alike.

Our established website and social media accounts were launched in 2011 and have an active following from Endurance riders and Equestrians from all over the UK. We have a clear press and social media plan to include competitions, insight to the sport and the Hexham Ride alongside Sponsorship promotion and exposure.

We would like to work with individuals, or companies who would like to join us as Sponsorship Partners. Shortly we will be publishing our 2024 Categories of Sponsorship, however we will also be keen to hear from any interested parties who would like a bespoke arrangement of sponsorship.

Leading our Sponsorship team this year is Gill Brown.

Gill has been involved with Endurance GB for a number of years, competing regularly herself including several international appearances. She also serves on the International Committee of Endurance GB.

To express an interest in Sponsorship at the Hexham Ride, please email Gill at gill@dissingtonhall.co.uk. She will be able to discuss all of our sponsorship opportunities for 2024, which are available to view now in our Sponsorship Pack, or create a individual bespoke sponsorship plan.
