Buena Vista, VA (August 1, 2014)– Hunter/jumper rider Stacey Stone of Milton, FL, is thrilled to have won a beautiful Vespucci bridle thanks to World Equestrian Brands participation in Horse & Style magazine’s Endless Summer Giveaway. Already a fan of Vespucci bridles, Stone will soon match up the Vespucci Fancy Raised Hunter Bridle with a new saddle she bought for one of the young riders who shows Stone’s horses. Stone owns and trains at Pacific Swell Farm.
Vespucci calls their bridles an “Instrument of Performance” since all are designed to increase communication between the horse and the rider while decreasing discomfort and distraction from any pressure points on the horse’s face. Each bridle is known for its padded single crownpiece, a padded noseband and browband, and adjustable padding under the jaw. Following a study of equine anatomy, designer Peter Menet set out to create a better union of horse and rider by creating a better bridle.
“I LOVE Vespucci bridles,” exclaimed Stone. Stone’s Pacific Swell Farm trains show hunters and show jumpers, coaches intermediate to advanced riders, and offers Holsteiners from the South Pacific bloodline. “I have five amazing horses that I bred and raised myself. Pacific Swell is my Holsteiner stallion, and he is the sire of all of my horses. He is an amazing jumper and has produced some really talented babies. My very talented young rider, Leacy Paul, and I spend most of our time training and showing them in hunter and jumper rings.”
Presented by Horse & Style magazine, the Endless Summer Giveaway featured a number of prizes, including the Vespucci bridle. The contest, which was held on Facebook, pulled winners from their Facebook fans.
World Equestrian Brands, based in Buena Vista, VA, offers products from four top brands: Amerigo, Vespucci, E.A. Mattes, and Equilibrium. Products include performance saddles, bridles, girths, leg protection, saddle pads and therapy products.
