British Horse Feeds Sponsor Netball Tour to Dubai
25 May 2007
Gordonstoun School netball team would like to whole-heartedly thank British Horse Feeds a division of I’Anson Brothers Ltd of Masham, North Yorkshire, for their sponsorship of this tour.
Local girl Katie Freeman of Healey, Masham, North Yorkshire,played centre during a tour which took in matches against the English College, Dubai College, Cambridge High School and Jumeirah College. The English College acted as hosts, the girls staying with families, which enabled them to fully appreciate everyday life in this United Arab Emirate state.
British Horse Feeds kindly provided the girls with Speedi-Beet caps to cut out the glare to enable them to perform well in their matches. Pens to promote Speedi-Beet were widely distributed in Dubai, and the girls left their caps with their English College hosts.
Speedi-Beet was trialled and tested in the Gordonstoun area. Horse loving pupils and teachers took it along to the local stables where it was pronounced “excellent”, its most favourable characteristic being the very short “soaking” time, this was much appreciated by all.
