Equi Farm Competitions was born from the recent disappointment surrounding the Future Farm Investment Scheme. As many farmers know all too well, the grant process left a great number of hard working people without the support they hoped for. Growing up on my family farm in South Aberdeenshire I've seen first hand the challenges that face the farming community today. This inspired me to create something practical, positive and most importantly a bit of fun.

The equestrian side of Equi Farm Compeitions is equally close to my heart. Having been around horses from a very young age it felt only natural to include competitions for equestrian equipment as well, especially since so many items are useful for both farm businesses and our equine hobbies alike. These prizes will also range from handy day to day items to bigger pieces of kit as the competitions grow over time.

At its core, Equi Farm Competitions is about supporting the people in the Equestrian and Farming communities, while keeping things enjoyable. It's a lightheartened way to take part in something fun, with the hope that each prize, big or small, can bring a little help where it's needed most.
