Olympian Pippa Funnell handed keys to new SsangYong Rexton

Top British horsewomen and member of the 2016 Olympic Team GB, Pippa Funnell MBE has taken delivery of her new SsangYong Rexton Ultimate.

As a brand ambassador for SsangYong, Korea’s oldest 4×4 and SUV specialist producer, Pippa represents the company at all the major equestrian events she attends.

“I am really excited about driving the new model year Rexton and delighted to be continuing my relationship with SsangYong,” said Pippa.

“In the equestrian world it is essential to have a reliable 4-wheel drive vehicle that’s capable of towing a large horse or work trailer loaded with heavy jumps around the farm, and to get me to events often in wet, muddy conditions.”

Eventing, including the title sponsorship of The SsangYong Blenheim Horse Trials and as the Official Vehicle Sponsor of Badminton Horse Trials, has become an integral part of SsangYong’s marketing activities complementing the firm’s focus on 4×4 vehicles and Sports Utility Vehicles.
