SSG Riding Gloves Promotion Returns to Thunderbird Show Park

SSG Riding Gloves will offer $12,000 in bonus money for riders wearing SSG ‘Digital’ Riding Gloves during the 2013 competition season at Thunderbird Show Park in Langley, BC.

Langley, British Columbia – The SSG Riding Gloves ‘Go Clean for the Green’ promotion returns to Thunderbird Show Park in Langley, BC, for the third consecutive year, offering an increased total of $12,000 in bonus money to competitors throughout the 2013 show season.

While a $1,000 bonus will continue to be awarded to the winner of designated grand prix events if they are wearing SSG ‘Digital’ Riding Gloves, hunters will now be competing for a $1,000 bonus as well.  Having offered a $500 bonus for the past two years, SSG Gloves has recognized the support of its hunter clientele and has doubled the bonus money on offer to reward their loyalty.

If the winning rider in any designated event is wearing SSG ‘Digital’ Riding Gloves with the horse head logo clearly visible in all rounds of competition, they will be presented with a bonus cheque in front of the SSG signature jump during the awards presentation.  If the winning rider is not wearing SSG ‘Digital’ Riding Gloves, the bonus money will be carried forward to the next event, increasing from $1,000 to $2,000, etc.

“Thunderbird Show Park is thrilled to continue its partnership with SSG Gloves for a third year,” said Chris Pack, Vice-President of Operations at Thunderbird Show Park.  “SSG’s innovative sponsorship offers our clients a truly unique opportunity to earn bonus prize money in our most sought-after hunter derby and grand prix events.  SSG Gloves and Thunderbird are a perfect fit!”
