Dana Rivera Wins Premier Equestrian Sportsmanship Award At Wellington Classic Sunshine Challenge CDI

Wellington, FL (February 7, 2012)– Junior rider Dana Rivera competed the gorgeous black Russian stallion, Abrikos, in the FEI Junior Rider classes at the Wellington Classic Sunshine Challenge CDI, and she not only had a successful show but thanks to the smile on her face she rode away with the Premier Equestrian Sportsmanship Award. Sponsored by Premier Equestrian, LLC, a leading supplier of dressage arenas, horse jumps, arena footing and stable accessories, the Premier Sportsmanship Award is presented to a barn or rider who displays a high level of sportsmanship during a show and the winner receives a gift certificate for $100 worth of Premier products.

Rivera, who is from New Jersey and trains with Denielle Gallagher, was excited about winning the Sportsmanship Award. “I’ve been riding Abrikos for eight months and it’s really cool to win this award,” she said. “I think good sportsmanship is very important. When I go in the ring I go in there to have a good time and I don’t worry about whether I will win or not.”

The 16-year-old Rivera placed second at Devon last year on Abrikos, not long after she switched from the jumper ring to the dressage arena. “My advice about sportsmanship is to have fun. It’s all about how you feel at the end of the day that matters. Whether you have a good ride or a bad ride, it’s important to keep a smile on your face and learn from the experience,” she said. 
Heidi Zorn, President of Premier Equestrian, congratulated Rivera on winning the Premier Equestrian Sportsmanship Award. “It’s very exciting that Dana has progressed so quickly in the dressage world in such a short time. It’s even more exciting to add a fresh young face with the right attitude about sportsmanship to our dressage community,” Zorn said. “I know Dana will have a great time picking something from our catalog or website. We offer a fantastic line of dressage equipment, jumping equipment, rubber mats, barn and stable accessories, books, DVDs, and footing.”
