The Equestrian World Class Programme established 'Supporters of World Class Equestrian' in 2004 to assist funded riders on the Programme with the expensive business of keeping and competing horses at the top of their sport.
The concept is based on a partnership approach and it draws together a number of companies who wish to support riders on the Equestrian Programme, either through offering products, discounts or services.

NuuMed
NuuMed started making numnahs around 17 years ago, so we are thoroughly tried and tested. We still design and make all our products at our factory in Somerset, England, and that enables us to provide the flexibility, accessibility, accountability and quality control levels we know our customers look for - and it means if you can't find it, we'll make it!
Along the way, NuuMed has notched up some notable firsts:
- HiWither numnahs and pads - a design unique to NuuMed and the first to follow the contours of a horse's back;
- the use of specially mixed wool knitted onto cotton yarn as opposed to a dead sheep's skin - all the wool you need with no skin attached
- the Combination design - the first pad to address the changing shape of a horse.
Today, the range has a numnah or pad to fit most saddles, which means that whatever your favourite equestrian activity - hacking, dressage, eventing, hunting, endurance, racing, western ... - there is a NuuMed numnah or pad that's right for you.

In 1981, Louise Woof pioneered the 'Woof Boot' - the first brushing boot to be made from neoprene. This was a major innovation compared with the traditional leather boots available at the time as it meant that horses could be protected with boots that were light, durable and easy to care for.
For thirty years now Woof Wear has been at the forefront of protection for horse and rider with design and development at the heart of the brand. By incorporating testing and feedback from riders, we develop trusted, practical and comfortable products, which are being valued equally by leisure riders, professionals and even the Police Forces across the UK. Not least we are very proud to be the producer of the UK's best selling general-purpose brushing boot!
Supporting the talented riders on the Equestrian World Class Programme is a great opportunity for us to contribute directly back into equestrian sport and we are very proud of this long-standing relationship.
