Phoenix, AZ (June 1, 2015) – For leading equine supplement and performance manufacturer Vita Flex, every day is about being better than the day before. In competition, there’s a fine line between where you were yesterday, where you are today and where you’ll be tomorrow. It’s the line we push ourselves to chase – and cross. Vita Flex can help get you there.

In partnership with Equus, Dressage Today, Practical Horseman, and Horse & Rider, Vita Flex invites riders of all different disciplines to tell their unique stories for a chance to win $1,000 to use for achieving their equestrian goals. The $1,000 Fine Line Scholarship can be used for any type of equestrian education – from lessons and professional training to show or event fees.

The contest is going on now – and will run through Monday, June 22, 2015. Entrants must be at least 18 years old and be a resident of the United States. Enter now by sharing your story for a chance to win $1,000 toward your goals in the saddle.

To enter, participants can visit http://news.vitaflex.com/vita-flex-fine-line-scholarship, select their favorite equestrian magazine, and fill out an entry form. The entry forms include a 200-word or fewer essay telling their story as a rider and detailing their desire for extra funds to help make their equestrian dreams come true.

The winners will be selected based on the uniqueness, quality, and interest of their stories. Four grand prize winners will each receive a cash prize of $1,000 to help offset the cost of their equestrian education.

Wellington, FL (April 14, 2014) – Vita Flex Victory Team member Todd Minikus rode Babalou 41 to an exciting first place finish in the $100,000 Suncast 1.50m Championship Jumper Classic Final during the concluding 2014 weekend at the FTI Consulting Winter Equestrian Festival.

There were 84 entries in first round, held Saturday, March 29, and the top 25% returned for the second round, held the next day due to dangerous storms. Todd Minikus was one of only three riders to turn in double clear rounds, winning with the fastest time of 48.78.

“Unfortunately, the rain put a damper on things,” Minikus said. “That mare’s very green, and she’d never done something like that, where she had to come back hours later, so maybe the night’s rest worked out. She went like a professional show horse. We kind of saved her for that class. She’s extremely careful, so if you can get her into the middle of the jump, chances are she’ll leave it up.”

Minikus hopes to continue showing the talented mare and looks forward to seeing her future success.

“I’ve been showing her for three years now,” Minikus explained. “We did schooling jumpers for two years. She was always an exceptional mare, extremely extravagant with her jump. She kind of leveled out this past year and has done some good things. Stewart Moran is her trainer; basically I just catch ride her. She lives with Stewart and his team, and I ride her at the ring. They have done a great job with her. Santa, who flats her, has done a fantastic job. I would like to thank Mr. and Mrs. Haefner for the opportunity to ride her. It’s been a good team so far.”
