Peggy Murray of English Riding Supply commented, “When we began our sponsorship of the USEF Medal 20 years ago, we found the Pennsylvania National Horse Show to be a fantastic venue to further our horse show sponsorships. As a Pennsylvania based company, having a world class competition practically in our backyard has always been very exciting for us. We are thrilled with our expanded partnership with the PA National and eagerly look forward to yet another exciting year of successful, high caliber competition.”
“We are always pleased to take existing firm sponsor relationships and expand them to the benefit of our exhibitors,” said Liz Shorb, President of the Pennsylvania National Horse Show. “English Riding Supply has been at our side for a long time and we appreciate their increased support in these divisions.”
