Subaru Extends Sponsorship Of Horse Trial Event

Subaru UK is extending its current title sponsorship of Europe’s biggest annual International horse trial, the Subaru Houghton International, until 2013.
This year’s four-day Subaru Houghton International, which took place at Houghton Hall near King’s Lynn in Norfolk in May, was recognised as the biggest event of its kind in Europe, after 358 riders from 19 nations took part. 
“Houghton International has fast developed into a true highlight of the British equestrian sporting calendar, and is a perfect fit for the Subaru brand,” said Paul Tunnicliffe, Subaru UK’s Managing Director.  “I’m delighted that we will be back at Houghton Hall for the next three years, welcoming top-name competitors as well as existing and prospective fans of the Subaru model range.”
In addition to being a Subaru brand ambassador and managing Subaru Houghton International, 39-year old Alec Lochore has also just been confirmed as Eventing Manager for the London 2012 Olympics.  Working alongside the London Organising Committee, Lochore will lead the team that will deliver the equestrian events at the new Olympic facility in Greenwich Park.
