As the second week of the FEI World Championships in Aachen, Germany gets underway, British Equestrian and Toggi are delighted to announce the signing of a new contract confirming the brand as official casual performance clothing supplier to the World Class Programme and senior British Equestrian Teams until the end of 2028.
Athletes, grooms, owners, practitioners and staff have proudly worn their patriotic Toggi clothing across three decades, with this year’s trip to Aachen marking 20 years since the bespoke kit’s full world championship debut.
British Equestrian World Class Programme Head of Operations and Logistics Sophie Thomas commented; “I was a part of the support team at Aachen in 2006 and recall how smart we felt in our Toggi kit – and it gave us confidence and brought us together as a team. Some 20 years on, we’ve closely worked with the team at Finest Brands International to get to a range of clothing that’s stylish and practical for everyone, from athletes to grooms and owners to supporters. It’s fantastic to have their continued support.”
Toggi will provide a range of garments for use at home, at competitions and for the annual championship across the UK Sport and National Lottery funded World Class Programme squads in dressage, eventing, jumping and para dressage. Additionally, the FEI disciplines of driving, endurance and vaulting are kitted out by Toggi at their senior championships each year.
World Class Programme athletes will also have access to advice, knowledge and products from Toggi’s sister brand, Champion, manufacturers of pioneering hats and body protectors, all proudly made in Great Britain.
Millie Simpson of Finest Brands said; “We are delighted to continue our partnership with British Equestrian; a community we are immensely proud to be a part of. It filled us with pride watching the medals in week one at the Aachen World Championships, and seeing riders, grooms, owners and supporters all wearing the Toggi brand.
“We’re extremely excited to continue this journey together, celebrating the people and performances that make British equestrian sport so special, while continuing to give back through our GBR Collection, with 10% of every sale donated to the British Equestrian teams.”
In the build up to this year’s championships in Aachen, around 1000 items of Toggi kit have been distributed across the 23 athletes and their support teams, plus the core staff and officials. As ever, the British contingent is united, stylish and proud in Toggi as they take on the world’s elite.
