Rosettes Direct is the new sponsor of Trailblazers showing first and second rounds during the 2009/10 SEIB Trailblazers competition series.

Competitors placed first, second or third in showing second rounds – including Trailblazers’ new working hunter classes – will receive special two-tier, gold edged, commemorative rosettes, courtesy of Rosettes Direct.

Rosettes are a magical reminder of competitive success, with Rosettes Direct providing some of the best and brightest examples on the show circuit.

As well as rosettes in crease resistant, super satin ribbon and vibrant colours, Rosettes Direct makes badges, sashes, training bibs, armbands and other show sundries.

In addition, Trailblazers Championships has appointed Rosettes Direct as its preferred rosettes supplier. The agreement entitles approved Trailblazers centres to preferential rates for all their rosette needs.

“I’m delighted to be a sponsor and the preferred supplier of rosettes to the Trailblazer Championships and their competition centres. Rosettes Direct would like to wish all competitors good luck for the 2010 season and look forward to seeing finalists presented with our specially designed rosettes,” said David Wallace of Rosettes Direct.

Trailblazers’ showing features in-hand and ridden classes for all ages and types of horses and ponies. First Rounds, self-contained competitions which also act as qualifiers for second rounds, are open to all and held at approved centres across the UK.

First and Second Rounds for the 2010 Spillers Trailblazers Championships are currently underway, with those lucky enough to qualify competing for top showing honours at Stoneleigh Park on 31 July and 1 August.

As part of the South Essex Insurance Brokers (SEIB) sponsored competition series, Trailblazers also offers show jumping, dressage and combined training. There are no registration fees to pay.
