Europe’s premier indoor equestrian event, Olympia, The London International Horse Show, has announced a brand new partnership with leading performance clothing brand MUSTO as the official outdoor clothing supplier for the week-long equine extravaganza.

Previous riders have included London 2012 Olympic Gold Medallists and current World Number One’s in their respective disciplines, Charlotte Dujardin and Scott Brash.

The adjustable and removable hood inspired by the brands sailing collections, effectively keeps out the wind and rain, making it a wardrobe staple for outdoor activities. Available in both men's and women's sizes, the Sardinia Gore-Tex® jacket boasts a stylish silhouette, whilst keeping the wearer well protected from the elements.
•Also in the collection, is the Small 18L Carryall in GBR red; a stylish MUSTO carryall, engineered in splash resistant fabric with a heavy duty zip closure and external Velcro pocket for additional storage.
The partnership also sees MUSTO support next year’s Royal Windsor Horse Show from 11-15th May, the must go-to event for equestrian and country lovers, and Her Majesty the Queen’s 90th Birthday Celebration which will wow crowds with four 90 minute evening performances from 12-15th May. Both events will take place in the private grounds of Windsor Castle, the only time the beautiful gardens are open to the public.
Show Director Simon Brooks-Ward, said: “We’re delighted to announce that MUSTO will be one of the sponsors of this year’s show and will continue their support at The Royal Windsor Horse Show in 2016.
