SSG ‘Digital’ Riding Gloves.

February 24, 2011 – Wellington, FL – For the second week in a row, the SSG ‘Go Clean for the Green’ bonus money was not awarded in the weekly WEF Challenge Cup Series. The bonus now triples to $9,000 for the winning rider if they are wearing SSG ‘Digital’ Riding Gloves in the $31,000 WEF Challenge Cup Series Round VIII on Thursday, March 3, at the FTI Winter Equestrian Festival in Wellington, FL.

A total of 16 horses jumped off in the $31,000 WEF Challenge Cup Series Round VII held Thursday, February 24. Of those 16, only three riders were not wearing SSG ‘Digital’ Riding Gloves. Unfortunately, the winner, Richard Spooner, was one of those three riders.

So far, Canada’s Yann Candele, Catherine Pasmore of the United States, and Darragh Kenny of Ireland have been awarded bonuses of $3,000 each for winning Thursday’s $31,000 WEF Challenge Cup Series while wearing SSG ‘Digital’ Riding Gloves. Week five’s winner, McLain Ward, claimed $6,000 as the bonus money had doubled from the week before.

SSG Riding Gloves is offering a total of $57,000 in cash bonuses for riders competing at the FTI Winter Equestrian Festival running January 12 through April 3 in Wellington, FL. The SSG ‘Go Clean for the Green’ promotion is offered in the weekly WEF Challenge Cup Series, the Amateur-Owner Jumper Low Classic, and the Amateur-Owner Jumper High Classic competitions. For the upcoming Amateur-Owner High Jumper Classic on Saturday, February 26, the bonus money has doubled to $2,000.

Cash bonuses are given directly to the rider during the award presentations in front of the SSG Riding Gloves signature jump by either Ed James of SSG Riding Gloves or Jennifer Ward of Starting Gate Communications, who manages and handles publicity for the ‘Go Clean for the Green’ promotion.
