Lister is thrilled to introduce serval new brand Ambassadors onto the Lister Elite team.

We chose the elite athletes through the extensive talent list of leading equestrian PR and talent agency SRPR and were delighted to be working with them. Joining our ever growing and talented team are Anthony Condon, Sarah Higgins, Vicky Smith, Jay Halim and Jess Dunn.
