Meet the Sponsors Behind Sydney Eventing

Sep 9
6 min read

Sydney Eventing is built on much more than three phases of competition.

Behind every horse that enters the arena, every volunteer on course, every prize presented and every class contested is a network of businesses, organisations and supporters who help make our events possible.

For our September 2026 event, we are incredibly proud to be supported by a diverse group of sponsors spanning veterinary care, equine nutrition, racing and breeding, retail, charities, media, property, technology and community organisations.

Their contribution helps us continue to deliver a safe, well-resourced and enjoyable event for horses, riders, volunteers and spectators, and we are delighted to introduce the organisations supporting Sydney Eventing this season.


Equine Centre Camden — Naming Rights Partner

Leading our sponsor family is Equine Centre Camden, part of the University of Sydney’s University Veterinary Teaching Hospitals.

As our Naming Rights Partner, Equine Centre Camden brings together experienced clinicians, modern veterinary facilities and research-informed care for horses across a wide range of disciplines.

Its services include routine and specialist equine healthcare, pre-purchase examinations and referral care from its Brownlow Hill facility. Equine Centre Camden also supports our CCN4* class, the highest level of competition at Sydney Eventing.

Importantly, their support extends beyond sponsorship. Members of the Equine Centre Camden veterinary team will also be in attendance at our event, helping us maintain the high standards of horse welfare and veterinary support that are fundamental to our sport.


Mounties Group — Official Volunteer & Community Partner

Events like Sydney Eventing simply could not happen without volunteers, making the support of Mounties Groupparticularly meaningful.

As our Official Volunteer and Community Partner, Mounties Group represents one of Australia’s largest Profit For Purpose community club groups, reinvesting its earnings into the communities it serves.

Across Sydney and the Central Coast, Mounties Group supports community initiatives, clubs and programs, and its involvement with Sydney Eventing allows us to recognise and support the people who give their time to keep our sport running.


Yulong — Highest Placed Thoroughbred Award

The Thoroughbred has always played a special role in eventing, and this year Yulong is helping us celebrate that connection through the Yulong Highest Placed Thoroughbred Award.

The award recognises the highest-placed eligible off-the-track Thoroughbred in each division, with each winning combination receiving a $100 prize and commemorative rosette.

One of the major players in Australian racing and breeding, Yulong operates across Australia, Europe and America and has built a strong reputation for investment in racing, breeding and equine aftercare.

Their philosophy that the journey does not end at the racetrack makes the partnership particularly appropriate for Sydney Eventing and the many Thoroughbreds successfully enjoying second careers in equestrian sport.


Assistance Dogs Australia — 3* Class Sponsor

Our 3* competition is proudly sponsored by Assistance Dogs Australia.

The national charity breeds, trains and places accredited Assistance Dogs free of charge with Australians living with physical disability, autism or PTSD.

Each Assistance Dog undergoes around two years of specialised training, and the organisation relies on supporter generosity to continue its work.

We are proud that one of our upper-level classes can also help highlight the extraordinary difference these dogs make within the community.


Royal Flying Doctor Service — 2* Class Sponsor

The 2* class is proudly sponsored in support of the Royal Flying Doctor Service South Eastern Section.

For regional, rural and remote communities, access to healthcare can often depend on distance. RFDS provides emergency aeromedical support along with primary health, mental health, dental and specialist care.

The South Eastern Section delivered more than 93,000 occasions of care across NSW in the previous year, and we are pleased to use our event to help recognise the vital work they undertake across regional Australia.


NZB Airfreight — 1* Section A Sponsor

NZB Airfreight proudly sponsors our 1* Section A.

With more than 60 years of experience, NZB Airfreight is New Zealand’s only locally owned and operated equine airfreight specialist.

Kohnke’s Own — 1* Section B Sponsor

Our 1* Section B is supported by Kohnke’s Own, a familiar name to many Australian horse owners.

Founded by equine veterinarian Dr John Kohnke, the Australian equine nutrition brand has been supporting horses for more than 25 years.

Its range is manufactured in Sydney under independently audited quality controls, with products developed to support equine health, vitality and performance across a range of disciplines and levels.

McGrath Camden — EvA95 Section A Sponsor

Keeping things local, McGrath Camden proudly sponsors our EvA95 Section A.

Led by Stuart Davies and Mark Inglis, the team combines extensive real estate experience with strong knowledge of the Camden district.

For many riders and supporters based in Sydney’s south-west, they are also a familiar local name, making their involvement a welcome connection between our event and the surrounding community.


Hills Wildlife Sanctuary — EvA95 Junior Sponsor

Our EvA95 Junior section is proudly supported by Hills Wildlife Sanctuary.

Based in Sydney’s Hills District, the not-for-profit organisation rescues, rehabilitates and cares for injured, orphaned and displaced native wildlife, with the goal of returning animals to the wild wherever possible.

The Sanctuary receives no government funding and relies on community support to continue its rescue, conservation, education and engagement work.


Horseland Dural — Supporting All EvA80 Classes

A name well known throughout the Sydney equestrian community, Horseland Dural is supporting all five of our EvA80 classes.

Horseland has been supplying riding equipment and equestrian products since 1978, and the Dural team has built a strong reputation locally for practical advice and a genuine passion for horses and riders.

We are thrilled to have their support across the entire EvA80 program.


Penelope Store Australia — EvA65 Junior B Sponsor

Penelope Store Australia proudly supports our EvA65 Junior B class.

Founded by French Olympic gold medallist Pénélope Léprevost, Penelope Collections combines modern technical performance with the distinctive style associated with European equestrian fashion.

The brand focuses on lightweight, breathable and functional products designed to move with the rider while maintaining its recognisable French aesthetic.


Wallaby Hill — EvA65 Section B Sponsor

Our EvA65 Section B is proudly supported by Wallaby Hill.

Located near Robertson in the NSW Southern Highlands, Wallaby Hill is one of the state’s best-known equestrian facilities, offering indoor and outdoor arenas, cross-country schooling and a gallop track.

The property hosts lessons, clinics and competitions throughout the year, making it another sponsor with a genuine connection to the development of equestrian sport in NSW.


KLM Media — EvA65 Amateur A Sponsor

Capturing the partnership between horse and rider is at the heart of KLM Media, our EvA65 Amateur A sponsor.

Specialising in equine photography, KLM Media documents competition moments as well as personalised equestrian sessions, creating professional images riders can keep long after the event has finished.


An Eventful Life — EvA65 Amateur B Sponsor

Few names are more closely associated with eventing coverage than An Eventful Life, which proudly sponsors our EvA65 Amateur B class.

Through its cross-country video service, riders can watch and review their rounds after competition, while its wider platform features eventing news, interviews, results and features from Australia, New Zealand, the UK and beyond.


CrossCountry App — EvA65 Junior A Sponsor

Helping riders prepare before they leave the start box, CrossCountry App proudly sponsors our EvA65 Junior A class.

Used by riders from grassroots through to Olympic level, the app allows competitors to map their course walk using GPS, calculate minute markers and record fence photographs and notes.

It is a practical piece of technology designed specifically around one of the most important parts of eventing preparation.


Friends of Sydney Eventing

Our event is also supported by a wonderful group of Friends of Sydney Eventing, whose contributions collectively make an enormous difference.

For September 2026, this includes Poseidon Animal Health, Wilma Sport, VALA, Valley View Nursery, Greyhounds As Pets, ESP and Jojubi.

Their support assists us in delivering a safer and better-resourced event for competitors, horses and volunteers, and we are incredibly grateful to each of them for getting behind our community.


Thank You for Supporting Those Who Support Our Sport

Sydney Eventing is fortunate to have sponsors that do much more than simply place their logo around an event.

They help fund competition, support our volunteers, provide prizes, recognise our Thoroughbreds, promote important charities and contribute services and expertise that directly benefit our riders and horses.

On behalf of the Sydney Eventing Organising Committee, we sincerely thank every sponsor and supporting organisation involved in our September event.

We also encourage our riders, members and supporters to take the time to learn more about them — and, wherever possible, support the businesses and organisations that support Sydney Eventing.
