Italian Junior Rider team member Alice Campanella has signed a new sponsor, Anky Tack Factory, which produces high end sports wear and equestrian tack. This is the second professional sponsorship deal the 14-year old Campenalla has been able to close, after becoming Cavalor Italy's youngest sponsored member in 2013.
The Italian based Alice Campanella has represented her country at three European Championships so far, twice at the European Pony Championships with Bentley in 2012 and aboard Flamenco Star in 2013, with whom she reached the individual Kur to Music Finals.
This year Alice has been riding at international pony and junior riders' level, but accepted a spot on the Italian Junior team as the European Championships were hosted on home turf in Arezzo, Italy. With her sensitive Dutch warmblood gelding Varisto she was the best performing Italian at these European Championships.
ANKY Tack Factory agreed to sign Campanella as their new ambassador based on their policy to support young equestrian talent in Europe.
"I'm thrilled that Anky Tack Factory has chosen to support me," said young Alice. "Their clothes and tack are amazing. It's super quality and it looks very fashionable. I'm looking forward to training and competing in the Anky outfits."
Owned by Dutch company Bieman de Haas, Anky Tack Factory keeps a close eye on European fashion and incorporates the latest trends in design and colour into its collections. The ATC® range is ideal for the fashion conscious sportsperson. ATC® is sold by approximately 300 retailers, spread worldwide over more than 30 countries and is available in Europe, Canada, Japan, China, Australia and the United States.
