AN EVENING WITH BRITISH EVENTING ICON...
MARY KING

CWG Ltd have re-launched their Equestrian Owners' Club with the help of British Eventing Icon, Mary King.

The event, held at Brackenhurst Equestrian Centre on Wednesday 11 th October 2006, was to show how the company has moved forward into the 21 st Century and to introduce the new Equi-Club. Becoming a privileged   member of this new club will benefit members in several ways: there will be a loyalty card, a twice yearly newsletter, a new web-site that has been specially designed for the members of Equi-Club, personal invitations to equine events and workshops plus many more advantages.

Mary, who is sponsored by Equest, is based in Devon where she is married to David who is a farmer and has two children, Emily and Freddie. Her career spans over 20 years in which time she has been a regular member of the British Team, winning Badminton twice (1992 and 2000) and Burghley in 1996 - the first mother ever to do so, she has also won three European team gold medals and has most recently represented Great Britain in the World Equestrain Games at Aachen earning team silver.

Throughout the evening Mary kept the audience captivated by the quiet, gentle but firm way with her horses that has got her to where she is today. During the first half, the audience were treated to Mary demonstrating on King Solomon, probably the horse that she is best known for, then in the second half it was one of her own home-bred horses, Kings Gem who took the spotlight, this 7year old has already been 3 rd at Blair Castle this year, 2 nd at Twesledown in the spring and this autumn is going to compete in the 7year old championships at Le Lion d'Angers in France.

Also joining Mary for the evening was 21 year old Emma Sheardown from Grantham, Emma who suffers from cerebral palsy is a world class Para-lympic dressage rider, who in 2004 was selected for the Para-lympic program. Her goals are to be selected for the Beijing Para-lympics and to achieve a medal at the 2012 London Paralympics. Emma is being sponsored by the new CWG Equi-Club.
