Mount St John will once again sponsor the Dressage Future Elite Championship at Horse of the Year Show (HOYS) this year.

The Mount St John Dressage Future Elite Championship is a chance for dressage stars of the future to showcase their talents in an international arena, without leaving the UK.

The experience this offers to the dressage stars of tomorrow is the first step for many young combinations on their way to international success.

This is the third year that Mount St John have sponsored the Dressage Future Elite Championship and, say the organisers, the partnership is a perfect fit.

Helena Pettit, managing director of Grandstand Media, said: "We are thrilled to have Mount St John once again support the Dressage Future Elite at HOYS. Mount St John are a fantastic fit for the Dressage Future Elite as they themselves are dedicated to breeding quality foals destined for the dressage arena".

Mount St John specialise in breeding dressage horses of the highest quality sourcing some of the world’s best and most sought after bloodlines. Advanced embryo transfer procedures are utilised onsite at the picturesque stud located on over 180 acres in North Yorkshire.

They not only breed world class foals - they also have a selection of competition horses currently in training with elite dressage riders. One of Mount St Johns most recognisable supporters is dressage legend Charlotte Dujardin, who has privately purchased MSJ Charmer and MSJ Smartini, with the intention of making them her sport horses of the future.

The Blundell Family who own Mount St John have been supporters of HOYS for many years and have been sponsoring since 2006 when they sponsored the Riding Horse of the Year Championship.

"Mount St John is thrilled to be the title sponsor of the Dressage Future Elite Championship at Horse of the Year Show", said Emma Blundell, director of Mount St John. "The competition offers an invaluable opportunity for up and coming dressage riders to experience an international show atmosphere in the UK.

"With the sport of dressage more popular than ever, the Mount St John Dressage Future Elite Championship offers riders, competitors and spectators a unique opportunity to witness some of the dressage stars of the future", she added.

The Mount St John Dressage Future Elite Championship will take place on Friday, 9th October, in the Andrews Bowen International Arena.
