                      PROMOTE YOUR BUSINESS IN THE BFOH 2012
                      The Festival is an ongoing success as the equestrian industry provides rural regeneration in the
                      Borders and for Scotland’s economy as a whole. Last year over 10,000 horses and people took
                      part in the range of events which we held during The Festival.
                      Each year this booklet goes out to a 20,000 strong press run and it is distributed locally and
                      further afield. Last year we even had to print more such was the demand; people refer to it months
                      after the event has passed. The booklet showcases the Borders as Scotland’s Horse Country
                      and we would like as many local businesses as possible to feature in it.
                      Therefore, we are inviting you to return the attached form (click here), with a nominal fee of £10 payable to
                      BHS Scotland, to the below address. Then your information and contact details will be included in
                      the business listing in the BFOH 2012 Brochure.


                      RIDERS INVITED
                      TO TAKE
                      ON THE
                      DANES

                      Horse riders in Scotland are being offered the chance of a lifetime in a bid to bring back an exciting mediaeval equestrian sport to the country.

                      The British Horse Society is looking for riders willing to travel to Denmark to learn the art
                      of ‘tilting’ – riding towards an ever-decreasing ring with a lance. Tilting at the ring has
                      formed part of mediaeval jousting demonstrations, but it is only in Jutland that it has
                      developed into an intensely competitive and skilful sport.

                      For full press release and more details please click here.

                      2011 was the 10th Anniversary of the BFOH.

                      We had a fabulous celebration with the Household Cavalry at Floors Castle and in Kelso Town Square. What are your memories of the celebrations? Email me to tell me what you thought.
