British Eventing are delighted to share the news that Harry Hall One Club are continuing their sponsorship of the Anyone Can Event (ACE) series and championships following its success over the last two years.
The British company Harry Hall has been synonymous with equestrians since 1891 and their passion to deliver the very best products and services continues as much today as it did more than a century ago. With a mission to make riding and horse ownership more affordable, the Harry Hall One Club was launched in 2017 offering exclusive member benefits, year-round savings, free delivery, access to riding technology and much, much more.
Speaking about the ACE series, Liz Hopper, managing director at Harry Hall, said:
“At Harry Hall, we’re dedicated to making the equestrian sport as accessible and affordable for as many people in the UK as possible. We do this through our One Club membership, which aims to provide a helping hand for horse owners and riders of all ages and abilities. This focus aligns perfectly with the values of the Harry Hall One Club ACE Championships, which is open to riders across a range of age brackets and skill levels.
“The recent championships were a brilliant success and the feedback from the participants has been that it’s a fantastic competition and environment for riders of varying ages and abilities to have a go at arena style eventing. In addition, riders who have not qualified for the championships can attend the ‘have a go’ days, so it really is an inclusive event. We’re proud to play a part in such a special event and partner with British Eventing on the series. We are very much looking forward to the qualifiers and championships for 2025.”
The ACE series kicks off next month on 6 October at Newbold Verdon, Leicestershire, and is perfect for those beginning their British Eventing journey, having been designed to appeal to riders of all levels of experience from the aged of 10 years and upwards.
With four height categories starting at 70cm through to 1m, the series runs throughout the winter months. Non-members can compete at all the qualifiers that take place across the country, but they will need to join as a member (currently starting at £30 per annum) and register their horses for free if they wish to contest the Final, which takes place at Aintree Equestrian Centre in the Spring.
The ACE series involves competing over both a show jumping and cross-country styled course, within an arena environment, whilst still providing the thrill of an eventing competition. Placings are decided by both clears and the optimum time. Riders will also compete wearing their cross-country kit including cross-country colours.
Courses are built by certified course-builders, within BE’s guidelines and will offer riders to take on a course of show jumps followed by a simulated cross-country course of knock-down fences.
Each competition is a qualifier for the Championships and there are branded Harry Hall One Club rosettes given to all who qualify as well as a discount offer for the Harry Hall online shop. The number of qualifying tickets awarded to each class will be dependent on the number of entries, further information of which can be found here.
The ACE series culminates in the exciting Championships, held at the famous Aintree International Equestrian Centre, home of the thrilling Grand National where riders can enjoy three days of fun, thrills and action, while making new friends and life-long memories.
