Premier Equestrian - Sportsmanship Award

 

Premier Equestrian, LLC Supports The 2012 Florida Winter Dressage Season By Presenting The Premier Sportsmanship Award

Wellington, FL (October 3, 2011) – Premier Equestrian is once again sponsoring an award during the 2012 Dressage Season – the Premier Equestrian Sportsmanship Award. Premier, a leading supplier of dressage arenas, horse jumps and stable accessories, will award a gift certificate for $100 worth of Premier products to the winner of the Sportsmanship Award throughout the dressage season.

“Last year we sponsored the Premier Sportsmanship Award and everyone who won was thrilled,” said Heidi Zorn, President of Premier Equestrian. “We offer a fantastic line of dressage equipment, jumping equipment, rubber mats, barn and stable accessories, books, DVDs, and footing including ProTex and GGT Footing. Any equestrian will be able to find something they need and really want among our selection.” 

The Premier Sportsmanship Award is 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 are looking for riders who help their fellow horsemen and who prove they are a good sport during the stress of the show day,” 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.” 

Zorn added that many of Premier’s clients compete on the winter dressage circuit. “I love being at the shows and seeing people who have installed a Premier dressage arena or who have a jump course made of Premier jumps,” she said. “We always get great feedback because our products are world class. As a leading supplier of arena footing, we also see many clients at the shows who rely on our footing each day as they ride and train.” 

Chosen as an official supplier to the World Equestrian Games, Premier Equestrian supplied 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. “Our footing is also well known in the Wellington area. Premier was responsible for adding the GGT-Footing to the arenas at the Jim Brandon Equestrian Center for the World Dressage Masters. So riders competing at the Jim Brandon Center for the Wellington Classic Dressage shows and the Gold Coast Dressage Association shows will get to experience our footing,” Zorn said. “We also supplied the Palm Beach Equine Sports Complex with their footing.”

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. For more information on all Premier Equestrian products visit their website at PremierEquestrian.com or call             800-611-6109

Premier Equestrian - Sportsmanship Award

 

Devon Kane of Diamante Farms Wins Premier Equestrian Sportsmanship Award at the 2011 Great American/USDF Region 3 Dressage Championships

Ocala, FL (October 18, 2011)– Devon Kane of Diamante Farms arrived at the Great American/ USDF Region 3 Dressage Championships in Ocala with high hopes for her three competing horses.  She soon discovered, however, that due to a glitch in the computer system, her entries had been misfiled and no stalls had been assigned for her horses. While this may have been the end of the road for most, Kane kept a positive attitude, and once the issues were resolved, went on to win quite a few ribbons.  This positive attitude and outlook earned Kane the Premier Equestrian Sportsmanship Award and a gift certificate for a Charles Owen helmet.  The Sportsmanship Award is presented at selected equestrian events throughout the country and is designed to recognize a rider whose positive attitude, helpfulness, and sportsmanlike conduct sets them apart. The Region 3 Championships were held in conjunction with the Deep South Dressage and Combined Training Association (DSDCTA) at HITS Post Time Farm in Ocala, Florida.

“I called my trainer, Michelle Gibson, in tears,” Kane said. “She helped to calm me down when I first heard about the mix up.  Then I just decided to have faith that everything would work itself out and kept my outlook positive.”  Kane and her Dutch Warmblood Prins went on to win the Intermediaire 2 Championship with a 62.947%. Kane and Sanchez, a six-year-old, won the 3rd Level Championship with a score of 68.462%.  Destiny, Kane’s Prix St. Georges mount, earned a 72.105% to come in second in the PSG and in their Intermediaire 1 debut, Kane and Destiny scored a 69.474% to win the class.  No doubt Kane’s positive attitude in the face of lost entries and no stabling contributed to her success.

Heidi Zorn, the President of Premier Equestrian, congratulated Kane on her positivity and her wins.  “Devon is the perfect example of a good sport, and we are so pleased to present her with our award,” said Zorn.  “At horse shows so many things contribute to a good ride or a good show, and having a great outlook and a helpful attitude can not only affect your own performance but other’s experiences as well.  We congratulate Devon and hope she will continue to shine through her attitude and her stellar rides.”

Chosen as an official supplier to the World Equestrian Games, Premier Equestrian supplied 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. “Our footing is also well known in the Wellington area.

Premier Equestrian Debuts ProTex Plus™

Sandy, UT (September 30, 2011)– Horse owners, riders, trainers, vets and farriers agree that high quality arena footing is essential for protecting horses and allowing them to compete at their peak. Premier Equestrian, one of the nations leading suppliers of dressage arenas, jumps, and stable accessories, has already given the equestrian world the revolutionary footing product ProTex and now Premier is debuting ProTex Plus™, an advanced formulation that gives new versatility to the combination of textile and rubber equestrian footing. .

Designed for dressage, jumping, and western pleasure, ProTex Plus™ special formulation provides both extraordinary cushioning and maximum traction. “ProTex Plus™ is a superior footing that really provides the best of both worlds by combining non-woven textile material with high quality crumb rubber for the ultimate in a high performance surface,” said Heidi Zorn, President of Premier Equestrian. “The two products are combined with sand to produce a footing that protects your horse from concussion related injury while providing maximum traction, reducing shear and allowing your horse peak performance.”


Zorn said the debut of ProTex Plus™ gives Premier and even larger volume purchase advantage and the savings is passed directly to the consumer. Premier’s ProTex Arena footing has been reformulated and is a combination of textile and fiber similar to GGT Footing. ProTex Plus™ combines ProTex with ProStride rubber. “The introduction of ProTex Plus™ will actually lower the price of our ProTex formula and make it even more affordable. ProTex is a wonderful horse footing that farms and horse show facilities all across the country really love and rely on. Premier is excited to have both high quality options available now, ProTex and ProTex Plus™,” Zorn explains, “ProTex can be purchased for as little as 25 cents a square foot while ProTex Plus™ will cost about 45 cents a square foot. Both products can greatly enhance a riding ring, arena or show facility.”


Premier encourages anyone interested in footing to visit their website to learn about the ideal equine footing. “Our website has a complete section on riding surfaces and footing.
