Mary King, the nations favourite eventer, has attracted further support for one of her strong team of horses from the nations favourite wormer, Strongid-P.

The sponsorship covers the rising star of Mary's Devon yard, King Richard.Gill Robinson owns the Advanced 8 year-old, whom Mary has brought on from a four year old and both Gill and Mary have high hopes for "Ricky" as he is known at home.

"He is one of the nicest horses I have ever had in the yard and he has definitely got what it takes to do well at international level." Comments Mary "The delay in the start to the season and then my accident put paid to some of my plans for him but now I am back on the road, he will aim for some advanced level events. I'm very grateful to Strongid-P for supporting the sport, and King Richard in particular, in this difficult season".

Laura Jenkins Strongid-P Product Manager said: "This is the first time we have sponsored a horse but it makes perfect sense for the nations favourite wormer to support the nations favourite eventer. King Richard features in our current advertising campaign and it was a natural progression for us."
