Rider Tori Oakes Celebrates
Sponsorship
New Sponsor for Young Show
Rider Tori Oakes
Mountain & Moorland specialist
Tori Oakes is celebrating after gaining
sponsorship from Black Country
Saddles, well-known for their bespoke
range of premium saddles.
Based in Uttoxeter, Staffordshire,
23-year-old Tori has been making her
mark on the showing world with her
yard of M&M ponies with 2014 proving
highly successful.
Among a number of major titles, Tori
won her M&M WHP class at the RIHS
and went on to be Champion with her
brilliant campaigner, Cairns Fergus.
In doing so, she was the first person to
take the title with a Highland Pony. The
partnership went on to be placed third
at HOYS and Tori also qualified two
Welsh Section A’s for Olympia.
Wendy Hartley of Black Country
Saddles said: “Tori is a talented and
dedicated rider who is sure to enjoy
continued success in the showing
world. We are delighted she has joined
the Black Country Saddles team of
sponsored riders and producers.”
Tori is thrilled to have received
sponsorship from Black Country
Saddles and all of her ponies are ridden
in a saddle from the range.
“I love them and won’t ride in
anything else. When
Cairns Fergus won at the
Royal International he
was wearing his Black
Country saddle and
bridle,” said a proud Tori.
There are currently
seven ponies on Tori’s
yard, all competing.
They are headed by the
successful Highland,
Cairns Fergus. He
is flanked by two
promising ponies who
are both in their first
year of open classes,
the Welsh Section B,
Roseberry Model Man
and the Connemara, PSF
Molly who are exciting
prospects for the season
and ones to watch.
Tori is already
September 2015 • Issue 24 • Everything Horse Magazine
enjoying a successful season, having
qualified five ponies for RIHS and her
aim is to qualify seven for HOYS.
Black Country Saddles offer a
selection of performance-inspired
saddles including the Classic Show
Saddle, so popular with many showing
riders. They are beautifully designed
with expert craftsmanship to ensure
great fit, design and comfort.
