GERMAN saddle manufacturers Kieffer have announced a sponsorship deal with one of top Ireland’s producers of young event horses, Heidi Hamilton. Hamilton who competed at Ballindenisk International CCI** last weekend has had a host of recent successes including opening her 2015 account with a strong win at Ballindenisk CNC2* earlier in the year.

Hamilton, who produced 2014 Badminton winner Paulank Brockagh, said: “I am really delighted to be chosen as Kieffer’s sponsored rider in Ireland. Kieffer saddles are known for their quality and craftsman ship and I am really looking forward to being their Ambassador in 2015.”
