HORSEWARE have been announced as the official equestrian and clothing supplier to the 2018 World Equestrian Games at Tryon International Equestrian Centre from September 11th-23rd.

As the official suppliers, Horseware is producing the uniforms for all WEG staff and volunteers. Volunteer counts alone are expected to reach 3,500 people during the two-weeks of the Games.

In addition to supplying uniforms, Horseware is awarding presentation coolers to every horse participating in the WEG, which is expected to be around 850. Horseware's generosity further extends to every WEG athlete who will receive a WEG-branded Horseware bag with additional promotional items.

As part of the partnership, Horseware has exclusive rights to produce and sell official WEG equestrian and horse apparel at the Games. The brand will have significant vendor space onsite where attendees can purchase commemorative WEG merchandise and shop the full range of high-performance products offered by the brand.

This partnership comes off the back of a successful partnership between Horseware and the Winter Equestrian Festival in Florida, where they also supply the winning rugs.

"Horseware is a pillar in the equestrian apparel industry and we are honoured to be partnering with them to produce all of our staff and volunteer uniforms and the awards for WEG. We have had a very longstanding relationship with the Horseware team and are pleased that we can showcase their innovative craftsmanship through our WEG efforts," said Mark Bellissimo, co-founder and CEO of Tryon International Equestrian Centre.

Horseware founder Tom MacGuinness, who is aiming to ride on the Irish Endurance Team for WEG, is pleased to align his merchandise with this prestigious global event.

"We are delighted to be the 'Official equestrian clothing partner' for the WEG. We have had a long association with WEF [Winter Equestrian Festival] and this is an extension of that cooperation. We hope to bring truly special commemorative WEG clothing, as well as high performance fabrics for the staff apparel and prize blankets. We are very excited about this WEG and know it's going to be the best games ever."
