Perfect Partnership Values
Agria UK’s CEO, Vicki Wentworth, expressed her delight at the new partnership: “We could not be more pleased to welcome Tom to the Agria stable. Everyone knows that he is a brilliantly instinctive and hard-working rider, but we also love the way he goes above and beyond to understand his horses and their needs, which perfectly complements Agria’s own focus on welfare and helping every horse and rider to live their happiest life.”
McEwen’s Enthusiasm for the Partnership
Tom McEwen shared his excitement about joining Agria: “I’m very honoured to be joining such an illustrious group of Agria riders, and to be working with a company which does so much to support horse welfare and equestrianism from top to bottom.
“As a British Team eventer, it’s been very exciting to see Agria supporting the sport at Osberton, Badminton and now Blenheim as title sponsor, and through its partnerships with the FEI and British Equestrian’s World Class programme. I very much look forward to working more closely with Agria, to help inspire riders everywhere, and help build awareness of the unique benefits of lifetime insurance.”
Agria’s Growing Influence
The partnership highlights Agria’s expanding presence in British equestrianism. The company, which introduced lifetime equine cover to the UK three years ago, has become increasingly visible through:
- Title sponsorship at major events including Osberton, Badminton, and Blenheim
- Partnerships with the FEI
- Support for British Equestrian’s World Class programme
This strategic sponsorship of top-level riders like Tom McEwen demonstrates Agria’s commitment to supporting equestrianism from grassroots to elite level.
