Premier Equestrian Gives Dressage Riders A Hand, And A Pair of Roeckl Gloves, By Sponsoring Sportsmanship Award Wellington, FL (January 25, 2011) Premier Equestrian, a leading supplier of dressage arenas, horse jumps and stable accessories, will be giving a hand to good sportsmen and women taking part in the South Florida winter dressage shows by sponsoring a new award, the Premier Sportsmanship Award. The winners of the Premier Sportsmanship Award will not only receive the title and a handshake, but will also take home a pair of German-designed Roeckl gloves.

The Premier Sportsmanship Award will be awarded to a rider who displays a high level of sportsmanship during a show. Whether they win with a smile or lose with a grin, we will be looking for riders who help their fellow horsemen and are, overall, a good sport during the stress of the show day, said Heidi Zorn, President of Premier Equestrian. We are excited to award the winner with a pair of Roeckl gloves, a favorite among dressage riders. Roeckl Gloves, which are available at Premiers 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 Roeckls 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. Many of us have had that experience at a show where we have seen someone go out of their way to help another competitor . . . those are the riders who make all the difference in the world, especially for the person they helped, Zorn said. We want to honor riders with good sportsmanship skills, because at the end of the day that person makes the world a better place. Premier Equestrian is also dedicated to making the horse world a better place, and does so as Americas leading manufacturer and distributor of dressage arenas.
