During the HITS on the Hudson Dressage CDI, The Horse of Course, Inc. will be doing their part to support rider safety and they are putting their money where their mouth is! CDI riders will have the opportunity to win the Courtney King Dye Safety Award, sponsored by The Horse of Course at the HITS on the Hudson Dressage CDI which will be held August 16-19, in Saugerties, N.Y.
Riders who compete in approved helmets will have the chance to win one of two $500 gift certificates to The Horse of Course. The two certificates will be given to the highest scoring riders in the CDI, one for the small tour and one for the large tour. “We are pleased to be able to support the HITS on the Hudson show ,” said Beth Haist of The Horse of Course, “And the Courtney King Dye Safety Award is an important incentive for riders to improve the overall safety of our sport.”
The Horse of Course is based in Claremore, Oklahoma, and their mobile store travels the nation offering everything for the discriminating equestrian. From show supplies, bridles, saddles, and saddle pads to fashionable equestrian attire, breeches, jackets, shadebellys and accessories, The Horse of Course is a favorite stop for many of the nation’s dressage riders. Marty Haist is a master saddlefitter who is recognized as the go-to guy for Sommer Saddles but also does many on site saddle evaluations with all brands during the many shows and throughout the season.
“Our mobile set up is a wonderful attraction on the show grounds. If a rider loses a button on their coat or needs their stock tie tied, they should come and visit us,” Haist said. “We have a lot of new and exciting merchandise to show off, including our fabulous new line of Kentucky breeches. They are really slick and fabulous. We also have a new line of washable shadbellys, which are really wonderful.”
