Jewellery company Hiho Silver has raised nearly £5,000 for Equestrian Team GB.

The Somerset-based company has raised the funds over the past four months through sales of a silver bracelet worth £40 and a leather bracelet costing £12.

Both bracelets have been sold at major equestrian events such as Badminton, as well as being sold online and in stores around the country.

And 20% of all proceeds from sales of the range are being donated to help fund and support the Equestrian teams of the future.

“We are very grateful for Hiho Silver’s proactive support of Team GB ahead of the World Equestrian Games and I hope that the public will respond by buying more of these fabulous bracelets,” said Will Connell, World Class performance manager for the British Equestrian Federation.

Andrew Ransford, Hiho’s managing director added: “We’re really proud to be able to help ensure that Equestrian Team GBR gets the best chance to bring home some much-deserved medals.”
