Premier Equestrian Joins The 2011 FTI Winter Equestrian Festival As Sponsor
Jupiter, FL (March 31, 2011) - International dressage rider Dr. Cesar Parra, owner of Piaffe-Performance Farms with locations in Florida and New Jersey, is riding footloose and fancy free thanks to Premier Equestrian, LLC, a leading supplier of dressage arenas, horse jumps, arena footing and stable accessories. Premier has installed GGT (German Geo Textile) Footing in Parra's dressage rings, the same dressage arena footing that received rave reviews from riders when added to the rings at the Jim Brandon Equestrian Center for the World Dressage Masters.

"We installed Premier's GGT footing at both my facilities in New Jersey as well as my facility in Florida this winter. I have found that the GGT footing adds cushion and stability to the arena footing and it never gets deep," Parra said. "I am very picky about footing and believe firmly that the best footing should be like a sponge -- so it's not too hard on the horses' legs but it should not get deep so as to avoid additional stress on the tendons and ligaments. GGT has certainly helped me achieve that ideal."
Parra, who was one of Colombia's top international riders before he became a U.S. citizen, added, "My clients love the footing too! Even when you walk across the arena on foot you can feel how nice the footing is!"
GGT Footing is a neutral non-toxic, non-allergenic material that will not affect either humans or animals. GGT Footing qualities include: good resistance to compacting; stabilizes sand particles and delivers high elasticity; gentle on the bare hoof with great energy absorption for less concussion; high slide strength and intermediate shear resistance delivers additional stability; improves and balances moisture absorption; and it offers significant dust reduction for indoor riding arenas. "GGT Footing is used at top venues all over the world,"said Heidi Zorn, President of Premier Equestrian
Zorn added that she was thrilled that Piaffe-Performance has added the new arena footing and knows that all of Parra's riders will enjoy the benefits the footing has to offer. "Cesar is an amazing international dressage rider, trainer and instructor who has competed in the Olympics, the World Equestrian Games and was the Colombian National Champion multiple times," Zorn said. "He understands how important proper footing is and I am so pleased that he has added it to all of his world-class training facilities."
