Olympic Gold Team Medal Trophy

Olympic potential - 6 & 7 year old horses will jump for Wilf Whites Olympic Gold Team Medal from the Helsinki Games in 1952. The resounding success of the `Lowshires` 6 & 7 year old series in 1996 has led to the parent company, Thomas Bates and Son Ltd, taking over the sponsorship, increasing the prize fund and setting up a prestigious final at Horse of the Year Show.

Wilf Whites Olympic Gold Medal Trophy should give all of the riders the aspirations to emulate his achievement`, commented Roger Goodland, Managing Director of Thomas Bates & Son Ltd.
