FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASEAustin, Texas (April 9, 2013)
We are proud to announce that Mountain Horse® will be the “Official Jacket of the American Competitive Trail Horse Association” for the 2013/2014 competitive season. The partnership combines the passion of thousands upon thousands of ACTHA members nationally with Mountain Horse’s expertise in designing and bringing innovative, technical riding apparel and footwear to equestrians worldwide. Ann Kinsey, Head of Operations for ACTHA, states “We are blown away by Mountain Horse’s generosity in helping us with our cause. Their products are quite simply the most elite I’ve ever seen, yet so practical, and oozing with pure quality!”
Kinsey further states, “It’s the award most dear to me out of the seven accomplishments an ACTHA registered horse and rider team can attain. It goes to the very core of our hopes to create and encourage full equine employment for able-bodied horses. It’s a grand undertaking and every sponsor, member, ride host and thousands upon thousands of volunteers help make this goal very attainable. We thank sponsors like Mountain Horse® for supporting our cause. Full equine employment has a ripple effect throughout the entire industry!”
Mountain Horse® has also been extremely generous – over $10,000 of their stunning jackets will be given to Diamond in the Rough winners starting immediately, and if that weren’t enough, they are making their sponsor donation retroactive – so even past winners will receive their ever-so-distinctive jacket!
“I can guarantee you one thing,” states Tom Scrima of ACTHA, “there are going to be some very proud rescue horses carrying their owners wearing these lovely jackets! Our hope, of course, is that more rescue horses will find their way to the fun that only a unique ACTHA ride can give. Mountain Horse’s bold and generous gesture will certainly grab our members’ attention!”
