Team ESB is a joint venture between:
- the breeder (ESB)
- riders in the UK, USA and Australia
- owners
- sponsors
- supporters
Team ESB - The Mission
‘To create a united and collaborative approach to foster the personal and professional development of event riders; to promote the sport of eventing; and to encourage sporting excellence and athletic achievement in both the horses and the riders.’
Team ESB - Strategy
ESB will give a purpose bred horse with potential 4* qualities to a selected rider to compete on. This partnership will then be supported by other members of the team to achieve the best possible results. If this combination clicks, then everyone’s dream of competing at international level can be achieved with the ultimate goal of being selected for the Olympic Games.
If the horse does not measure up to 4* standard, then it can be sold and replaced with another prospect. Proceeds from any sales will be shared by any owners, including ESB and the Rider.
Owners and/or Riders are welcome to visit the stud to select their horses if they wish, however it is in the best interests of ESB to only supply those which have good qualities and that have been thoroughly vetted.
Team ESB - Goals
- to create opportunities which will maximise the potential of both riders and horses
- to encourage a mentoring system between all members, enhancing horsemanship skills and personal growth and development

- to maximise the return on investment for the owner (if any)
- to increase the awareness of the ESB operation
