Find out who took the honours.
Horsey consumers flocked to Your Horse Live at Stoneleigh last weekend (8 – 10 November) to boost their knowledge, watch demos and shop ‘til they drop.
Trade exhibitors’ stands across the show were assessed by a judging team, the best being presented with awards by the British Equestrian Trade Association (BETA).
Stands were judged on curb appeal, product display and layout, the staff’s face-to-face interaction with visitors as well as their product knowledge and ability to provide supporting material.
“In the best traditions of Your Horse Live, there were many bargains to be found. However, the show looked tidy with many well-presented stands,” said BETA’s Claire Williams.
“Whilst shopping is important to them, visitors are also very interested in knowledge and education.”
BETA presented six gold awards and six silver awards to companies with outstanding trade stands at the show. In no particular order, they were:
GOLD AWARDS
- A Love and a Kiss Co (children’s educational toys and clothing)
- Dengie
- Horsehage
- Emily Cole (artist and publisher)
- Supreme of Sew (embroidery and clothing)
- Red Gorilla
SILVER AWARDS
