Supporters
The British Equestrian Team is generously supported by the following suppliers:
UK Sport
UK Sport is of course a major financial contributor through the Lottery funded World Class Programme, not only to support the development programmes but also to support the teams. As I am sure you are aware the Performance programme pays the expenses of the Olympic / Paralympic Senior teams almost in their entirety (less for what the disciplines contribute to looking after some of the owners). They also contribute, through the Start and Potential programme, significant funds towards the Pony, Junior and Young Rider teams in the Olympic disciplines.
