Barry Barnard Photography Sponsors the Volunteer of the Year Award at #FEG2026

We are delighted to announce that our official photographers, Barry Barnard Photography, will be sponsoring the Volunteer of the Year Award at the Forces Equine Games 2026 (#FEG2026).

This special trophy was established in memory of Victoria Brown. Both Vicky and her daughter Holly were valued members of the Forces Equine community, and this award recognises the dedication, generosity and community spirit that Vicky embodied.

Steph from Barry Barnard Photography shared why supporting this award means so much to their team:

"We are proud to be the official photographers for the Forces Equine Games 2026. Barry has served as a paramedic for over 20 years and many members of our family have served, or are currently serving, in our amazing military community.

We are even prouder to sponsor the Volunteer of the Year class for very personal reasons.

We first met Vicky when we purchased one of our horses, Ronnie, from her wonderful daughter Holly. Vicky was an incredible lady and a fabulous rider — a true inspiration. It means a great deal to us to support this award and help continue her legacy.

We're really looking forward to joining everyone at Pickering Grange Equestrian, our home venue. Please do come and see us at our gazebo and say hello — it's going to be a brilliant weekend!"

We are honoured that Team Barry Barnard Photography approached us to sponsor this award and we cannot thank them enough. With such special ties to our organisation, it truly felt like the perfect award for them to support.

The Forces Equine Games is all about bringing our community together, celebrating equestrian sport, and recognising the incredible people who make it possible — especially the volunteers who give so much of their time and energy behind the scenes.

Here's to a fantastic #FEG2026, where we can all come together as like-minded equestrians, enjoy great events and friendly competition, and raise a glass to all who attend — and to those who cannot be with us.
