Horse Sports by the Bay Inc., is pleased to announce that English Riding Supply is returning this year as a Platinum Sponsor and will be sponsoring the Ovation Leading Rider Awards. English Riding Supply’s Centaur is also the show’s Official Clothier and will dress the show’s Grand Hunter Champions in style with Centaur Wool Coolers and provide beautiful Turbo Dry Show Sheets for the Hunter and Jumper Classic winners.   

“This partnership is seven years strong now, and we’re so grateful for their support,” said Alex Reinheimer, Horse Sports by the Bay Inc., owner and show manager. “The Ovation Leading Rider Awards are among the highlights for our participants each year. These awards are truly special because they reward consistency, since we’re recognizing who’s the best over the course of the four weeks. We can’t thank Ovation and English Riding Supply enough for their participation year after year.”

English Riding Supply’s Peggy Murray will be onsite during Horse Shows by the Bay and will be providing additional prizes and gift certificates so look for her for more information about this valued company.

“How can you not love Horse Shows by the Bay?” said Murray. “From the very start of the series in 2004 the management has done nothing but try to make major improvements in all phases of the event from prize money, scheduling and stabling. I’d not been to the new facility in a few years, and I was blown away last year by all the landscaping improvements that make it one of the loveliest show grounds in the United States. The area makes it a real destination for people who like to compete at a high level and enjoy themselves as well. This show takes a bit of the grind away from showing.

“We have worked with Alex Rheinheimer and the staff since 2007 and have been so pleased that we have increased our level of sponsorship each year, and we are now Platinum Sponsors,” Murray added. “English Riding Supply’s premier brands of Pessoa, Veredus and Ovation are really in the spotlight at this show.”

Indeed, earning an Ovation Leading Rider Award is one of the most coveted awards and includes a $500 gift certificate for the recipient to redeem from the comprehensive English Riding Supply catalog. Riders are recognized from 12 hunter and jumper sections, from pony to open jumpers, and will receive their awards during Series IV.

In addition, with the newly mandated United States Equestrian Federation rule that took effect on April 1, 2012, it’s a prime opportunity for riders to purchase an attractive and reasonably priced Ovation helmet from the extensive lineup of models suitable for show and schooling.

The full rule reads as follows: GR801 Dress 2. It is compulsory for all persons at Federation licensed hunter, jumper or hunter/jumper competitions when mounted anywhere on the competition grounds, to wear properly fastened protective headgear that meets or exceeds ASTM (American Society for Testing and Materials)/SEI (Safety Equipment Institute) standards for equestrian use and carries the SEI tag. It must be properly fitted with harness secured.
