Subaru Clearly in the Lead With No Faults

COLESHIL, UNITED KINGDOM – May 15, 2009: All-wheel drive passenger car specialist – will be title sponsors of The Subaru Houghton International for the second year running.

The event will be held in the stunning grounds of Houghton Hall, Norfolk, May 21st-24th where a challenging cross-country course runs through the historic parkland. It will be televised on Horse & Country TV, which is dedicated to equestrianism and the country way of life and regularly viewed each week by more than 500,000 people.

Visitors will have the opportunity to enter a free prize draw to win a day’s one to one coaching session with Sharon Hunt at her elite Bury St Edmunds yard.

Or should you wish to test your towing prowess, a manoeuvrability challenge will be available. Proceeds will be donated to the East Anglia Air Ambulance. All visitors have to do is visit the Sponsors' Marquee, adjacent to the Main Arena to enter both of these exciting competitions.

Subaru (UK) Limited Brand Director, John Fossey, said: “Subaru cars have always had a strong presence within the rural community and it ties in perfectly working with Horse & Country TV. This has been an exciting partnership where both businesses continue to work extremely well together. We look forward to continuing to raise Subaru’s profile within the equestrian and rural communities.”

Meanwhile, Subaru’s Brand Ambassadors from the sport of Three Day Eventing go from strength to strength. Oliver Townend won best British rider at the recent Badminton trials, whilst Emily Llewelyn, the youngest ever Badminton entry, picked up a trophy for best score in the under 25 category.
