Wellington, FL (October 1, 2015)— World Equestrian Brands understands that riders can only go as far as their horses are willing and able to take them. The company is dedicated to helping bring out the willingness in horses through comfortable, effective tack. World Equestrian Brands is happy to congratulate its sponsored rider, internationally acclaimed Grand Prix jumper Kim Prince, on partnering with her client Rushy Marsh Farm to purchase an extremely “able” horse— former Australian champion show jumper, RMF Bella Baloubet. The combination of RMF Bella Baloubet, Kim Prince, and World Equestrian Brands tack is sure to set Prince up for success in the future.
RMF Bella Baloubet (Baloubet Du Rouet x Kapitol) is a 14-year-old gray Holsteiner stallion who was previously owned by Amy Graham of Australia. Prince is delighted to welcome the gelding as her newest equine partner.
Prince has successfully represented the United States in more than 20 National Cups, and was the top-ranked American at the 2005 World Cup Jumping Final. Her new partnership with RMF Bella Baloubet is sure to be difficult to beat in the show ring. Prince said, “I have ridden many wonderful horses in my career, but ‘BB’ (Bella Baloubet) is honestly one of the most exceptional. I compare him to Michael Jordan,” she laughed. “He is so athletic and willing. He is also highly intelligent, and he has really had to change his way of going for me. He impresses me daily on his ability to adapt to the American way.” Prince quickly knew that “BB King,” as he is now affectionately known in his new home, was the perfect fit for her riding style. “When I look for horses to purchase, I like light jumping horses. I want a horse that has natural impulsion and, most importantly, a big heart.”
World Equestrian Brands, the North American distributor of Amerigo, Vespucci, E. A. Mattes, and Equilibrium brands, is excited to see the pair in action. “I am a huge fan of World Equestrian Brands,” added Prince. “I have ridden in Amerigo saddles since 2003 and I recommend them to everyone. I use all the World Equestrian Brands products from bridles to jumping boots. I appreciate the quality of the products.”
Catch Kim Prince and RMF Bella Baloubet this fall at the Washington International Horse show in Washington D.C. and the Canadian Pacific National Horse show in Lexington, Kentucky. The pair will then take a break for the holidays and be prepared to begin showing again at the Winter Equestrian Festival in Wellington, Florida, in January.
World Equestrian Brands is proud to support equestrian athletes and their horses with top of the line brands of tack and equipment including world-class lines of products such as saddles, bridles, girths, leg wraps, saddle pads, therapeutic equipment, and more.
