Fort Langley, British Columbia – Laura-Jane Tidball of Fort Langley, BC, made it three in a row when she took home yet another cash bonus as part of the SSG Riding Gloves ‘Go Clean for the Green’ promotion during the Summer Fort Classic at Thunderbird Show Park in Langley, BC.

Tidball was wearing her SSG ‘Digital’ Riding Gloves when she topped a starting field of 35 entries to win the $15,000 USHJA Chronicle of the Horse International Hunter Derby on Saturday, August 18.  She had previously earned the SSG bonus after winning the $5,000 Cobblestone Derby on Saturday, June 30, and the $1,500 Canadian Hunter Derby on July 7.  Tidball picked up a $500 bonus from SSG Riding Gloves on all three occasions.

“I ride all of my horses in my SSG ‘Digitals’ now,” said Tidball, whose grandparents, Jump Canada Hall of Fame inductees George and Dianne Tidball, founded Thunderbird Show Park.  “I love how well they perform in all types of conditions, and the fact that they are washable is fantastic!”

Petaluma, California – Marisa Hutton of Santa Barbara, CA was awarded a $1,000 bonus by SSG Riding Gloves as part of its ‘Go Clean for the Green’ promotion after winning the $10,000 Aubrey Grace Memorial Children’s/Adult Amateur Classic on August 5 during the Giant Steps Charity Classic at the Sonoma Horse Park in Petaluma, CA.

Riding Larissa, a 12-year-old German Warmblood mare owned by Eldorado 29, Hutton topped a competitive field of 36 to take the win.  More than half of the competitors were wearing SSG ‘Digital’ gloves, giving them a chance to win the $1,000 bonus.

“I really like the gloves,” said Hutton, who trains with Samantha and William Martin.  “I didn’t really ride with gloves before this.  I borrowed a friend’s pair and wore them for a few days before the class and ended up going out and buying my own pair.”

She continued, “I think the promotion is really smart.  It definitely pushed me to buy my SSG ‘Digitals’ more quickly and it adds that extra incentive to do well.”
