Starling Equine Vets Sponsored Rider Programme
Ride with us. Represent with purpose.
At Starling Equine Vets, we believe great veterinary care goes beyond our clinic - it lives in the day-to-day partnership between horse and rider.
We’re excited to launch our Sponsored Rider Programme, designed to support passionate riders who share our values, champion excellent horse welfare, and want to work collaboratively with their vet team.
In exchange for authentic content creation and social media advocacy, successful applicants will receive a full year of Starling Equine Health Club membership - supporting both horse health and rider ambition.
What is a Sponsored Rider?
Our Sponsored Riders act as ambassadors for Starling Equine Vets - helping us raise awareness within our local equestrian community by:
Sharing regular, engaging content featuring their horses and journey
Educating followers on proactive equine healthcare
Representing Starling Equine Vets positively online and at competitions
Demonstrating excellent horsemanship, welfare-first decision making and professionalism
For us, this is a partnership, not just a sponsorship.
We’re looking for riders who genuinely believe in preventative healthcare and want to be part of a growing, supportive and independent equine veterinary team.
What we’re looking for
We’re inviting applications from riders who can bring:
✔ A positive and engaged social media presence
✔ Consistent content creation (posts, stories, reels, behind-the-scenes)
✔ Clear, strong ethics aligned with modern, welfare-led veterinary care
✔ Passion for education, transparency and responsible horsemanship
We are looking for a professional rider and an amateur - what matters most to us is your values, attitude and authenticity, not follower numbers alone.
What you’ll receive
Successful Sponsored Riders will receive:
One full year of Starling Equine Health Club membership, which includes:
Preventative healthcare planning
Routine care benefits
Ongoing veterinary support
Peace of mind for you and your horse
A Starling Equine Vets saddle pad so you can confidently represent our team when competing and creating content.
Our values matter
At Starling Equine Vets, horse welfare is non-negotiable.
We are looking for riders who demonstrate:
Ethical competition choices
Responsible training methods
Respect for the horse as an athlete and partner
Transparency and honesty with their audience
Your ethics must align with ours - because how you ride matters just as much as how you win.
