Rob Borsato from B-Complete shares the story behind the product, a simple idea with a powerful impact. Made from just one ingredient, B-Complete not only supports horse health but also helps Australian banana farmers by giving new life to produce that would otherwise go to waste. 🍌

We’re incredibly grateful to have B-Complete supporting this event, including sponsoring the VIP area, where guests can enjoy some of the best seats in the house while watching top sport unfold.

And it’s been a fantastic weekend for the B-Complete team, with Brooke Hickey and her horses performing beautifully across the event.

A great example of a brand that truly backs the sport, the riders and the community behind it 💚
