Kate Hutchins x Magnolia Cup 2025
This summer, Holland Cooper proudly supports Kate Hutchins as she takes on the Markel Magnolia Cup on Thursday 31st July. This is an all-female charity race held at Goodwood, that sees amateur riders from all walks of life step into the stirrups in support of a greater cause.
Purpose in the Saddle
As a brand rooted in equestrian heritage and female empowerment, Holland Cooper is honoured to sponsor Kate on this extraordinary journey, reinforcing our commitment to purpose-driven fashion. More than just a race, the Magnolia Cup is a platform for women pushing boundaries. As Kate takes on the challenge, she does so in pieces that deliver on performance without compromising on style. From early training sessions to race day itself, Kate embodies the balance of function and finesse — demonstrating that technical excellence and timeless style can exist side by side.
Magnolia Cup: Where Women Lead the Race
Each year, a group of remarkable women embrace the life-changing challenge of the Magnolia Cup — many with no prior riding experience. Balancing demanding training with their everyday careers, they show incredible resilience and determination. Riding for The King’s Trust International’s Project Lehar, Kate’s journey is one of courage and purpose. In regions of India where gender inequality limits opportunity, the project offers vocational training, health support, and life skills — empowering young girls and women to build confidence, independence, and brighter futures for their communities.
