Pragnell, the sixth-generation, British family-run jeweler with a rich and royal heritage, is delighted to once again partner with Cornbury House Horse Trials. A highlight of the equestrian calendar, this prestigious event takes place in the picturesque surroundings of Cornbury Park, attracting top riders from across the globe. Known for its challenging and educational course and high standards, the event celebrates excellence, courage, and dedication in the sport of eventing.
Pragnell have been a committed partner of the event since its revival in 2020 by David Howden and his family and it is this family theme which sits at the heart of both Cornbury and Pragnell. Along with a shared British heritage and dedication to preserving British craftsmanship, both brands are proud to support British talent. The commitment shown by a rider’s dedication to their craft and training is comparable to the skills applied by Pragnell master craftsmen and apprentices preserving unique techniques required to handcraft Pragnell jewellery.
For this year’s event, Pragnell have created a bespoke pin badge that will be awarded to the winning riders of each class at Cornbury House Horse Trials as part of their prize and a keepsake to commemorate the achievement and skill showcased by the rider along with an overall Leading Rider pin which will be awarded at the end of the competition.

Crafted with the utmost attention to detail, the pin badges have been hand-made in Pragnell workshops, in the heart of Great Britain by Pragnell master craftsmen.
