Petaluma, California – 14-year-old Peyton Warren walked away with a $1,000 bonus from SSG Riding Gloves after winning the $5,000 Synbiont Children’s Jumper Classic during the HMI Equestrian Classic I held July 24-29 at the Sonoma Horse Park in Petaluma, CA.

As part of the SSG Riding Gloves ‘Go Clean for the Green’ promotion, a $1,000 bonus is offered to the winning rider in designated competitions at Sonoma Horse Park if they are wearing SSG ‘Digital’ Riding Gloves.  Warren was doing just that as she guided Sherry Lady, her 14-year-old Westphalian mare, to a double clear performance to win Sunday’s $5,000 Synbiont Children’s Jumper Classic.

“I have always worn SSG gloves, but these are my first pair of ‘Digitals,’” said Warren of Rancho Murietta, California, who trains with Rudy Leone.  “They are ‘good sticky’ as well as stylish and very comfortable.  I will probably be an SSG customer for life!”

Warren was not the only person who benefitted from her SSG bonus win.  She made a deal with the ingate starter, who encouraged her to wear the ‘Digital’ gloves, to split the money with him if she won.  Good to her word, both she and the ingate starter are $500 richer!

Helen McNaught missed out on the chance to win a $1,000 bonus from SSG Riding Gloves when she claimed victory in the $30,000 THIS Grand Prix.  That means the bonus money is carried forward to the next event in the series, the $30,000 Giant Steps Grand Prix, to be held during the Giant Steps Charity Classic from August 1 to 5.

In its California debut, SSG Riding Gloves is offering a total of $12,000 in bonus money to competitors through its innovative ‘Go Clean for the Green’ promotion at the Sonoma Horse Park.  Sonoma Horse Park joins the FTI Consulting Winter Equestrian Festival, Kentucky Horse Shows and Thunderbird Show Park in offering the SSG ‘Go Clean for the Green’ incentive promotion.

Designed to reward competitors for their loyalty to the SSG Riding Gloves brand, SSG offers a bonus of $1,000 to the winning rider in designated grand prix events at Sonoma Horse Park if they are wearing SSG ‘Digital’ Riding Gloves with the horse head logo clearly visible.  If the winning rider is not wearing SSG ‘Digital’ Riding Gloves, the bonus money is carried forward to the next event, increasing from $1,000 to $2,000, etc.  The same format applies in the designated Junior/Amateur-Owner, Children’s Jumper and Children/Adult Amateur Classics where a $1,000 bonus is on offer.
