FAMILY FUN & ENTERTAINMENT WITH NISSAN Equestrian
Nissan Equestrian
Saddle up for
Years of patience, determination, dedication and passion go into the equestrian sport; and these are the values that the Nissan brand itself can sing back with pride and conviction when it comes to designing vehicles. Our partnerships revolve around the passion and excitement that arises from the ride, whether it be on horseback or behind the wheel of a Nissan.
Team and Events
It’s all about the ride
If the true partnership between man and nature could be defined, equestrian showjumping would depict it with ease.
Team Nissan Showjumping
Perseverance with heart
How many sports rely on two hearts beating as one, with one of those hearts belonging to a being with a mind of its own and the other one whole-heartedly trusting the power that sits beneath it? It's this complete trust in being driven forward that Nissan can relate to, and this is why Nissan South Africa has been a proud sponsor of Team Nissan Showjumping since 2011.
Headed up by Protea showjumpers, Barry and Lorette Taylor, Team Nissan Showjumping works closely with the SASJ, KEP and a number of riding schools to nuture and develop aspiring young showjumpers from previously disadvantaged backgrounds.
From development days held throughout the year, Nissan South Africa and Team Nissan Showjumping aim to identify talent that has the potential to be groomed for top level competition. Upon selection, young riders are invited to receive additional training from Barry and Lorette themselves if they wish to further their equestrian skillset, allowing Nissan to nuture our country's grass root riders.
