Equestrian Sport Productions Announces New
Dennis D. Dammerman Perpetual Trophy

Wellington, FL - Equestrian Sport Productions is proud to announce that a new trophy will be awarded tonight at the FTI Consulting Winter Equestrian Festival. The Dennis D. Dammerman Perpetual Trophy will be presented to the winner of the $500,000 FTI Consulting Finale Grand Prix. The trophy is to honor the contributions to equestrian sport of Dennis D. Dammerman, a longtime owner of horses and founding member of the Wellington Equestrian Partners.

The Dennis D. Dammerman Perpetual Trophy is made of beautiful Baccarat crystal and will be a stunning way to not only honor Dennis, but also the winner of the biggest event of the FTI WEF. The winner will receive a personal version of the trophy as well.

Roger Smith, a fellow founding Wellington Equestrian Partner, remarked, "Dennis is one of the nicest people I've ever met. He's very giving to everyone, is unselfish, and I'm proud that he's my friend. This trophy is recognition for someone that has been very instrumental in the equestrian community. He doesn't necessarily take the spotlight, and this is a good way to express our deep-hearted appreciation."

ESP CEO Mark Bellissimo remarked, "The Dennis D. Dammerman Perpetual Trophy will help us recognize someone who has been critical to the role of expanding the Winter Equestrian Festival and instrumental in bringing the show and the venue to what it is today. He has contributed greatly to the sport as an owner as well, and we believe this is a great way to honor our friend."

This trophy will be one of six awards presented to various honorees during the night's ceremonies to celebrate the end of another successful circuit.
