February 12, 2014 – Wellington, FL – SSG Gloves and Canadian Olympian David Marcus have teamed up for a sponsorship that is a perfect fit!

The leading manufacturer worldwide of riding gloves for a multitude of disciplines and purposes has signed a one-year sponsorship agreement with Marcus. The 33-year-old dressage athlete from Campbellville, ON, is the number one Canadian rider in the FEI World Individual Dressage Rankings.

"I am very excited to be entering into a new sponsorship agreement with SSG Riding Gloves," said Marcus. "I truly appreciate the support of my sponsors and am honoured to have a company with such a well-established reputation on my team."

Marcus and his team at David Marcus Dressage use a variety of styles for training purposes. When Marcus heads down center line, the SSG 'Grand Prix' riding glove is his glove of choice.

"One of the things I love about SSG Gloves is their extensive product line," said Marcus. "With more than 50 different styles of gloves, they definitely have a glove to suit everyone's needs. They are comfortable, breathable, and durable, not to mention stylish. What more could you ask for from a riding glove?"

SSG Gloves is proud to support Marcus as he works towards his goal of representing Canada at the 2014 FEI Alltech World Equestrian Games to be held in Normandy, France, in August.

"We are thrilled to support David Marcus in his quest for excellence in the dressage arena," said Ed James, President of SSG Gloves. "We look forward to working with David and are excited to play a role in his success."

Marcus joins an elite group of equestrian athletes sponsored by SSG Gloves including 2008 Olympic Show Jumping Champion Eric Lamaze of Canada, two-time Olympic Team Gold medalist Phillip Dutton of the United States, and two-time European Eventing Champion Pippa Funnell of Great Britain.
