West Palm Beach, Fl- The Jim Brandon Equestrian Center recently installed a full line of Premier
Equestrian jumps and two Premier dressage arenas. Premier Equestrian is one of the nation’s
leading suppliers of high quality dressage arenas, jumps, and ProStride arena footing. The Jim
Brandon Equestrian Center is a newly constructed 111-acre world-class equestrian show place
developed to meet the needs of equestrians residing in or visiting Palm Beach County.  The
facility offers unparalleled show facilities and trails and recreational equestrian areas.

Jim Brandon Equine Facility Manager, Shelley Van densest explained that the top-notch facility
choose the Premier jumps and arenas after extensive research. “These products are made of
high quality, impact resistant PVC’s and vinyls.  They also have a lifetime guarantee against UV
damage such as fading and cracking.  So they’ll hold up and look great for years to come,
despite the Florida sunshine,” said Van den Neste.  In addition, these high impact resistant
jumps are far safer than other products we researched. They really offer both form and
function,” Van den Neste added.

Heidi Zorn, President of Premier Equestrian agreed that the quality construction and materials
will serve the Jim Brandon facility well and added, “The Jim Brandon facility is so outstanding
that our new jump lines with their colorful, state-of-the art designs are a wonderful
complement to the facility”.

The Jim Brandon Equestrian Center was scheduled to open in early 2006, but extensive damage
during Hurricane Wilma delayed the opening.  The grand opening is now scheduled for June
2006. “We had to make quite a few adjustments after the hurricane”, said Van den Neste, “but
we are excited that the facility is almost ready to go and I am confident that area horsemen will agree that it was worth the wait”.

Along with the highest quality jumps and dressage arenas, the facility is also home to a150' x
300' covered lighted arena with its own schooling ring and spectator seating, two additional
lighted outdoor show arenas, several schooling rings, a covered vendor area, 128 permanent
stalls with sliding doors, covered wash racks, lunge pens, concession and announcer buildings,
show management office, two restroom buildings, equine-friendly riding trails and ample horse
trailer parking.
