Great Groom! Odor-No-More, Inc., to Honor Grooms at HITS Saugerties and HITS Culpeper
SAUGERTIES, NY (April 30, 2010) — At the horse show, the grooms have always been the unsung heroes. However, that won’t be the case at HITS Saugerties and HITS Culpeper this season when Odor-No-More, Inc. presents a weekly Groom’s Award at HITS Saugerties and an additional Groom’s Award during the final three weeks of show jumping at HITS Culpeper this season. The barn areas will be judged by a representative from Odor-No-More for overall cleanliness and appearance, and the winner will receive a trophy and product from Odor-No-More. Odor-No-More products are eco-friendly solutions, providing animal owners the ability to save time and money maintaining their animal’s enclosures. The products consist of a proprietary blend of micro-nutrient salts that are commonly found in animal feed supplements and hoof care products, to safely eliminate odors and wetness. “Our products and the grooms go hand in hand,” said Joe Provenzano of Odor-No-More, Inc. “Obviously they are the ones who maintain the horses and the facilities. Our products make that easier for them.” “We are thrilled that Odor-No-More, Inc. will present an award that honors the grooms,” said HITS’ Account Executive for Corporate Sponsorship, Lisa Engel. “Much of a barn’s overall appearance can be attributed to the grooms and they deserve recognition for their efforts.” “We feel that HITS is the marquee circuit and, as such, being a part of these events is key to promoting our high-performance products. We have spent extensive time and resources to build our brand as ‘The Best of the Best.’ I believe this mirrors HITS’ philosophy regarding the HITS shows,” continued Provenzano.
