Osborne Refrigerators and Jeff Osborne himself have sponsored the BDS National Championships for more than 17 years but now it is time for that sponsorship to come to an end.  The British Driving Society and all its officers and members are eternally grateful to Jeff and Osborne Refrigerators for this sponsorship which has been the life blood of the Society over the years – after all, who amongst us has not covetted the lovely red and silver qualification rosettes or displayed them proudly on the mantelpiece or in the tack room once won?
Jeff has been a staunch supporter of carriage driving in its many guises over the years with his beautiful Private Driving turnouts, Trade turnouts, Attelage de Tradition turnout and of course scurry driving at which Jeff and his wife Alison excel.  But rest assured, they are not leaving carriage driving and will be continuing with their scurry driving activities so we will continue to be able to see their skill and expertise at events up and down the country and of course at the Horse of the Year show.
Jeff wishes BDS members all the best and looks forward to seeing them at events in the future, as we do him.  Thank you Jeff, you’ve been the best!
