| A
great deal of the fun of participating or attending these once a year spectaculars is the
opportunity to see most of the leading suppliers to the dressage community, gathered
together where you can compare styles, colours and fabri fabrics of the latest styled
riding wear and the variety of models, function and fit of saddlery and gear. There
is always a range of feed products to be evaluated and the latest technology in horse
health and veterinary products. One can also research the available stallions for the coming breeding season and a whole lot of fun things to check out as part of a very enjoyable and special shopping experience. The Trade Village has become a recognised and valuable marketing opportunity for suppliers and has steadily grown in popularity over the past few years. In 2003 there were 34 traders represented covering most of the major aspects of the sport. Without the support of these people the competition would not be held on the grand scale that is possible with their involvement. It is important that Dressage enthusiasts are sure to support these businesses when they are buying anything from a new jacket, a horse float, a bag of feed , that special gift or a vitamin supplement. If traders do well as a consequence of their involvement it will keep entry fees and other charges down - it is the riders who benefit from a viable Trade Village. |
