Morristown, VT (June 4, 2012) – Bonnie Timmerman, the coach of the University of Vermont Dressage Team, had a lot to celebrate during the Intercollegiate Dressage Association (IDA) Nationals at Centenary College in New Jersey. Timmerman not only won the IDA National Coach of the Year Award, but she also won a new Steffen Advantage Custom saddle from Custom Saddlery, makers of handcrafted custom-fit dressage, jumping and event saddles.
Timmerman, who has been coaching the UVM Dressage Team for eight years, was thrilled to win both the award and the saddle. “What is so wonderful about receiving this award is that I was nominated by my team as well as other coaches and team members. They were so kind in the letters that were sent in to nominate me,” Timmerman said. “I am also very excited about winning a saddle from Custom Saddlery. The Steffen Advantage Saddle is well known for being a great saddle.”
