A SWEDISH eventing star has sealed a sponsorship deal with Salisbury accountancy firm PKF Francis Clark.

The sponsorship will help cover entry fees and general competition costs that Line Andresen competes in across the south and south west of England.

The 23-year-old Swede has been riding horses since she was five and was delighted with the arrangement with the chartered accountants and business advisors.

She said: "It's a huge weight off my mind to have the entry fees covered by PKF Francis Clark.

"I am very grateful to them."

PKF Francis Clark partner, Paul Giessler, said: "Line is a rising star in event riding and we're very pleased to be supporting her."

Line has previously trained with three-time Olympic eventing medallist William Fox-Pitt.

In addition, she was assistant stable manager with Australian event rider and 2014 Badminton Horse Trials winner Sam Griffiths at his Dorset stables, Symphony Farm near Gillingham.
