A huge congratulations to our second-year Equine students, who have raised an incredible £1,061.44 for local children’s charity Imagine This
As part of their Event Management Unit, the students planned and delivered an evening demonstration and riding clinic with Olympic event rider Vittoria Panizzon Eventing Page – taking responsibility for everything from ticket pricing and promotion to securing fantastic raffle prizes. 🏆
The event gave students valuable hands-on experience of organising a live equestrian event, while putting their event management, marketing and business skills into practice.
But the best part? Having successfully generated a profit, the students chose to donate the proceeds to a local charity supporting children and families.
The donation will help Imagine This deliver future projects including Positivity in Motion, Nature Therapy and the Marvellous Family Counselling Service.
Hana Wilson, Equine Curriculum Lead and Course Co-ordinator, said:
“The students’ fundraising success highlights the value of practical, industry-focused learning at Sparsholt, giving them the opportunity to develop real-world event management and business skills while making a positive difference beyond the College. We are so proud of their success.”
A fantastic example of learning, industry experience and giving back to the community👏🐎
