Helping Team GB head for success
Usk-based Equinalysis has joined forces with the British Olympic Association fundraising appeal in the run up to the Beijing Olympic Games, and is the only equestrian company to join the appeal committee.
The BOA receives no direct government or lottery funding, and has appealed to businesses to assist with raising £3m to help Team GB compete at the games, which take place later this year. The money raised will help towards medical support, air travel, kit, parade wear and accommodation for the team and support staff.
Equinalysis is one of 150 appeal committee members, and the only equestrian company on the committee.
Equinalysis' chairman, Professor John Davies, is a consultant physician in sports medicine at London's Guys Hospital, a leading musculo-skeletal specialist, and co-founder of Equinalysis. He has taken on the role of raising the cash and is delighted to be involved.
He said: "This is a great cause and Equinalysis is proud to be associated with the Olympic Games. This will be the second games we have been involved with. In fact, the original Equinalysis software was developed around the time of the 2004 games, in order to offer the team horses the highest levels of locomotive assessment. This time round, many of the horses heading for Beijing will have had the opportunity to be assessed using Equinalysis technology through the World Class Programme, as will the riders."
