Pippa Funnell joins British Eventing board
Pippa Funnell will take up a four-year term as a non-executive director on the BE board, following the organisation’s AGM next month. Pippa was encouraged to put herself forward for the voluntary position by stakeholders in the sport. “I want future generations to have the opportunities I have had,” she said. “I feel BE now more than ever needs everyone to collectively work out what is best for our sport; prioritising the horses, the competitors from grassroots to international, the owners, and very importantly, the organisers – because without them there would be no sport.” Lawyer and amateur eventer Will Cursham will stand on the board for a second term.
