March 20, 2011 – Wellington, FL – The bonus money on offer in the SSG Riding Gloves ‘Go Clean for the Green’ promotion continues to increase for Amateur-Owner Jumper competitors at the FTI Winter Equestrian Festival in Wellington, FL.

For the second week in a row, Charlie Jacobs won the $15,000 High Amateur-Owner Classic on Saturday, March 19. As Jacobs opts to compete without gloves, the bonus money went untouched. A $3,000 bonus will now be offered in the High Amateur-Owner Classic on Saturday, March 26.

In Sunday’s $10,000 Low Amateur-Owner Classic held March 20, the winner, Ramsay Hanson, was not wearing SSG ‘Digital’ Riding Gloves. That means the bonus carries over to week 11, with a total of $4,000 on offer if the winning rider is wearing SSG ‘Digital’ Riding Gloves on Sunday, March 27.

Earlier in the week, Todd Minikus claimed a $6,000 bonus after winning the $31,000 WEF Challenge Cup X with Pavarotti.

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. During week 10, $2,000 will be on offer for the $15,000 High Amateur-Owner Classic on Saturday, March 19, while a $3,000 bonus is up for grabs in the $10,000 Low Amateur-Owner Classic on Sunday, March 20.

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.

SSG ‘Digital’ Riding Gloves are available for purchase at numerous Wellington locations, including Tackeria, as well as on-site at the FTI Winter Equestrian Festival show grounds at Ann K. Hubbard’s Tack Store, Beval Saddlery, Collierville, Hadfield’s, Jod’s, Kocher, and Running Fox.
