Premier Centres Association chairman Lord Rowallan said: ‘The PCA easibed plus Futura series will enable good horses to be produced over testing tracks built by leading course builders, for fantastic prize money, at centres that are investing in their facilities on an ongoing basis. The series represents a new era in the development of a proactive working relationship between sponsors, the venue owners and the BSJA. We are proud to have easibed plus as our headline sponsor as their products reflect the excellence the PCA is striving to achieve.’
easibed plus National Sales Manager Ian McColville said: ‘At easibed plus we offer premium products, so working with the PCA is a logical progression. This new series will see our products at the premier equestrian venues in the UK and, in line with our ongoing policy of re-investing in equestrian sport, we are delighted to lend our support. The final at the British Open in 2008 should see some of our best hopes for the future on display.’
British Show Jumping Association Head of Communications Maria Clayton said:
‘It is absolutely superb to see the PCA consolidate their resource in such a positive way. With the support of easibed plus, the PCA has been able to bring not only a fantastic new series but also much valued sponsorship to the sport.’
