Legacy Farms of Jupiter Trainer Jeffrey Lord Wins Premier Equestrian Sportsmanship Award at Wellington Classic Dressage Challenge III

Wellington, FL (May 3, 2011) -Thanks to his ever-present smile and a great attitude, Legacy Farms of Jupiter trainer Jeffrey Lord rode away with the Premier Equestrian Sportsmanship Award during the Wellington Classic Dressage Challenge III Show. Sponsored by Premier Equestrian, a leading supplier of dressage arenas, horse jumps, arena footing and stable accessories, the Premier Sportsmanship Award is awarded to a rider who displays a high level of sportsmanship during a show.
Legacy Farms of Jupiter Trainer Jeffrey Lord Wins Premier Equestrian Sportsmanship Award at Wellington Classic Dressage Challenge III
Lord, of West Palm Beach, rides for Debi Berger who owns Legacy Farms of Jupiter. Lord competes many of the Legacy horses, including Legacy's Conquistador Del Sol, a 16.2 hand, black, Pure Spanish Breed Andalusian stallion, Legacy's Adrian, a 17.1 hand chestnut Danish Warmblood gelding and Legacy's Hawke, a 16.1 hand black Friesian gelding.

Lord was thrilled to win the Premier Sportsmanship Award and said his constant smile is a result of doing something that he loves. "My secret to good sportsmanship is to remember at the end of the day that I am in this sport because it is my passion and I love to do it," he said.

A year-round South Florida resident who grew up in Maine, Lord said he enjoys competing the Legacy horses and competed Legacy's Adrian at the Wellington Challenge III show. "My goals include competing the black Andalusian in the Prix St. Georges next season and then eventually competing him in the Grand Prix," Lord said.

Thanks to his great sportsmanship during the show, Lord rode away with a pair of German-designed Roeckl gloves from Premier Equestrian. Roeckl Gloves, which are available at Premier's website and in their catalog, are available in the Regent Glove, an all leather sports design made from buttery soft leather with an elastic wrist and snap. Considered Roeckl's most comfortable schooling glove, they are also great for driving. The Chester is a German-designed synthetic leather glove by Roeckl that combines style and versatility and features a textured palm and Velcro brand closure.

Heidi Zorn, President of Premier Equestrian, congratulated Lord on winning the Premier Sportsmanship Award and complimented him on his winning smile. "I love a rider who is always pleasant and shows off their award-winning smile, and Jeffrey is certainly that type of rider. Premier is pleased to add his name to a list of well-deserving riders who have won the Premier Sportsmanship Award this season. Jeffrey won a pair of Roeckl gloves from Premier and I know he will love wearing them. While it is his passion to ride and compete, it is Premier's passion to provide high quality products to the equestrian community, everything from dressage arenas and footing to horse jumps and gloves."

Zorn added that Premier Equestrian's products, such as their dressage arenas, are well received by the international dressage community. Premier recently helped re-do the footing at the Jim Brandon Equestrian Center for the World Dressage Masters. Premier was also chosen as an official supplier to the World Equestrian Games and supplied the dressage arenas for the Games, as well as the dressage warm-up arena, driving arena, driving warm-up arena and the flower boxes and dressage letters.

Premier's international exposure continues to grow, and they recently constructed three equestrian arenas at the prestigious Al Asayl Equestrian Center in Abu Dhabi, UAE, for the Royal Family. Premier also produces DVD's and other media for the equestrian market, including the Walter Zettl dressage series "A Matter of Trust".

Premier Equestrian offers a complete line of horse jumps and horse jumping equipment including jump standards, gates, walls, jump cups, horse jump poles, sponsor jumps, and cavaletti.

Premier Equestrian, a leading supplier of dressage arenas, horse jumps, arena footing and stable accessories, has added two new Pro Tips Video clips to YouTube which detail how to properly layout dressage letters.
The two new videos are entitled “How To Set Up Dressage Letters, 20 x 40” and “How To Set Up Dressage Letters, 20 x 60.” The short, free videos are part of Premier’s educational program designed for riders of all disciplines and riding levels. The videos give excellent tips, including how to remember the placement of the letters in the large dressage arena by memorizing the sentence, “All Kinds of Very Excellent Show Horses Can Make Riding Bareback Pretty Fun.”
Heidi Zorn, President of Premier Equestrian, said the Pro Tip Videos have been a big hit with riders. “We are thrilled to expand our Pro Tip instructional video series because we have had so much positive feedback from riders and trainers. YouTube is an excellent way for everyone to view the videos and you can also follow Premier on Twitter, join us on Facebook and receive our free monthly newsletter which features specials on products, discount coupons and articles about sand and proper footing, including bio-mechanics,” Zorn said.
The Premier YouTube videos are designed for riders at all levels and are designed to provide knowledge relevant to the equestrian world. “We have also added a Proper Helmet Fitting video by Charles Owen and an additional training video with Phillip Dutton. The complete video library includes Cavaletti training with Walter Zettl, jumping exercises with David O’Connor, Dressage tips with Sally O’Connor, as well as set up instructions for the Parma Arena Groomer and Dressage arenas.”
The Premier Equestrian YouTube channel will be expanding monthly with featured trainers and how-to tips on using products, training and arena maintenance. “So many people have questions about the how-to’s of the products that Premier sells, and we want to be able to educate and answer those questions,” Zorn said. “We offer videos from how to ride cavaletti to how to drag a horse arena to the proper mechanics of equestrian arena footing.”
Zorn added that Premier’s products have been embraced by the equestrian community and last year the company was thrilled to supply the dressage arenas for the World Equestrian Games, as well as the dressage warm-up arena, driving arena, driving warm-up arena and the flower boxes and dressage letters. “Premier also supplied GGT Footing for the dressage arenas at the Jim Brandon Equestrian Center during the World Dressage Masters,” Zorn said. “Proper horse arena footing is a big issue and Premier has the answers to the most often asked questions when it comes to arena footing.”

Premier Equestrian and The United States Dressage Federation Now Offering "On The Levels" DVD For New Tests

Premier Equestrian and The United States Dressage Federation Now Offering "On The Levels" DVD For New Tests

Sandy, UT (May 17, 2011)– Dressage riders seeking to learn and study the 2011 USDF dressage tests can now do so with a new and updated DVD edition of “On The Levels.” Produced by Premier Equestrian, a leading supplier of dressage arenas, horse jumps, arena footing and stable accessories, and the USDF, the new versions of the tests became effective December 1, 2010.
“The DVD includes the USDF Introductory through USEF Fourth Level Test 3. The three hours of test video features elements of both training and judging and allows the viewer to see and hear how each of the newly designed dressage tests should be ridden,” said Heidi Zorn, President of Premier. “And of course being able to watch and learn from the comfort of your own home is great. Or a group of riders can get together in a clinic setting and watch and learn as a group.”
The “On The Levels” DVD features FEI judges Lilo Fore and Gary Rockwell. Fore is a well-known dressage trainer and FEI “I” judge from California and throughout the DVD Fore comments on each ride and gives a trainer’s perspective on how to successfully ride each test. Rockwell, who lives in Florida and is one of only three U.S. FEI “O” judges, gives the judge’s perspective, scoring each movement of each test and giving a final score.
“The combination of expertise from these two judges creates a comprehensive training tool for students and trainers alike and I know dressage riders everywhere will learn so much from this 5th edition DVD,” Zorn said. “Premier also produced the 4th edition ‘On The Levels’ DVD set currently being retired after its four year run.”
The “On The Levels” DVD was designed, shot, and edited by Mark Neihart, co-founder of Premier Equestrian. “We filmed it at Starr Vaughn Equestrian Center in Elk Grove, California, where riders from around the area converged for two days of filming,” Neihart said. Neihart manages Premier’s in-house production studio capable of producing full feature video and audio programs.
Premier was chosen as an official supplier to the World Equestrian Games in Kentucky last year, where they provided the dressage arenas as well as the dressage warm-up arena, driving arena, driving warm-up arena and the flower boxes and dressage letters. Premier also supplied GGT Footing for the dressage arenas at the Jim Brandon Equestrian Center during the World Dressage Masters. “We brought GGT Footing to the existing footing in the arenas and blended it to renew them. Adding the GGT Footing gave the arenas an amazing footing surface,” Zorn said. “Premier is very experienced and well known for adding GGT to arenas that already exist. The Masters was an incredibly important show featuring the top international dressage riders in the world and we were pleased to create the ideal arena footing for the competition.”
Premier Equestrian also offers a complete line of horse jumps and horse jumping equipment, including jump standards, gates, walls, jump cups, horse jump poles, sponsor jumps, and cavaletti.
