Trade Stand Sell Out!

This year's British Equine Event, 2-3 November 2002 at Stoneleigh Park, Warwickshire, is set to break new records! With Christmas looming, organisers are anticipating another successful show following a trade stand sell out and last year's large increase in visitors..

With well over 300 trade stands dealing in every conceivable aspect of horse care and management, visitors will be able to browse and buy at their leisure, whilst also taking advice from specialist associations and horse and pony societies.

As well as shopping, visitors can spend time watching stars such as dressage impresario Conrad Schumacher or husband and wife team, eventers Vere and Clea Phillipps, giving lecture-demos in the event's purpose-built main arena.

Jam-packed with seminars, the event offers a wide array of topics, with audiences gaining an insight into current issues as well as practical advice and tips on keeping a happy and healthy horse. The weekend also includes a number of business forums where visitors can also learn about anything from avoiding the legal pitfalls of buying a horse though to implementing breeding strategies and the future of equestrian shopping!
