Premier Equestrian -Super Star Young Riders

Premier Equestrian Sponsors Margo Gogan’s Hilltop Dressage And Super Star Young Riders

Sandy, UT (December 23, 2011) – Premier Equestrian, a leading supplier of dressage arenas, horse jumps, arena footing and stable accessories, is proud to announce they are sponsoring dressage trainer Margo Gogan, of Hilltop Dressage in Heber City, Utah, and her talented group of Young Rider students. Cassie Benson and Maddi Birch, two of Gogan’s award-winning students, were recently chosen to ride at the 2011 United States Dressage Federation (USDF) National Symposium.

“Premier is thrilled to be sponsoring Margo and her students at Hilltop Dressage, and we firmly believe Hilltop is one of Utah’s hidden gems,” said Heidi Zorn, President of Premier Equestrian, which is also based out of Utah. “Margo has had so much success with her students and horses over the years and Premier is privileged to be sponsoring them. Margo has a great long history of promoting and training Young Riders and Cassie and Maddi are two fine examples of the level of students Margo produces.”

Both of Gogan’s students had a successful 2011 year, with Birch bringing home her second team gold medal from NAYRC on her Dutch gelding Uoeri. Benson competed Melissa Connelly’s Danish gelding Viking, winning the National Intermediaire I Championship in the Junior/Young Rider Division. “It’s unique that we are in Utah, because we are a bit outside of the dressage world. But we keep our heads down and work hard. We have great clinicians come to Hilltop, including National Youth Coach Jeremy Stienberg, and we have great horses and the support of really good parents,” Gogan said. “I was very pleased that Maddi and Cassie were asked to ride at the USDF Symposium.”

Zorn added, “Margo and her students are such a success, I just can’t say enough wonderful things about them. With her business partner Alison Child, Margo is putting together the Region 5 Championships next year and Premier will be one of the official sponsors for the event. We are hoping to install new footing and we will be providing all of the equipment for the Championships.” 

A Brentina Arena, from Premier Equestrian, was used at the 2011 USDF Symposium. “We were excited to be part of the USDF Symposium, as Premier is a strong supporter of the dressage community. Our Brentina Dressage Arena is named after Debbie McDonald’s famous equine partner, Brentina, and Debbie is one of the national coaches who took part in the Symposium. Margo’s student Cassie recently worked with Debbie in California and her goal is to compete in the Brentina Cup,” Zorn said. 

As an official sponsor of the United States Dressage Federation, Premier Equestrian is well known in the dressage community. Premier supplied the dressage arenas for the 2010 World Equestrian Games, as well as the dressage warm-up arena, driving arena, driving warm-up arena and the flower boxes and dressage letters. “The Brentina Arena was used for the main competition arena at the World Equestrian Games in Lexington and was very well received by the international dressage community,” Zorn said.

Considered America’s leading manufacturer and distributor of dressage arenas, Premier’s website offers extensive and informative information designed to help horse owners understand the differences in arenas as well as horse arena footing. “While Premier is thrilled to sponsor Margo and Hilltop Farm, especially because they are from our home state of Utah, Premier is also pleased to say that 99.5% of our products are made in the United States or Canada. I strongly believe that we need to support our own,” Zorn said.

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.
