May 1, 2008 – Québec, Québec – Cavalor Canada has extended its support to include the Olympic equestrian sport of dressage by sponsoring two-time Pan Am Individual Bronze medalist Yvonne Losos de Muñiz.

With an impressive roster of show jumping clients including Eric Lamaze and Ian, Jonathon and Amy Millar already benefiting from partnerships with Cavalor Canada, Losos de Muñiz joins Canadian dressage athlete Linda Robert in partnering with the exclusive dealer of Cavalor horse products in Canada.

A dual citizen of Canada and the Dominican Republic, Losos de Muñiz made history when she became the first equestrian athlete to win a medal for the Dominican Republic at the 2003 Pan American Games hosted in her hometown of Santo Domingo. Four years later, she repeated her Individual Bronze Medal performance at the 2007 Pan American Games in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

As part of her program to obtain athletic excellence, Losos de Muñiz uses several Cavalor products including Muscle Fit, Energy Booster, Pow’Red Performance and Leather Shine.

“I am very proud to have been selected by Cavalor Canada as one of its sponsored riders, and I am especially honoured to be among the first dressage competitors,” said Losos de Muñiz who currently competes at the grand prix level of dressage with Bernstein Las Marismas. “Cavalor is an outstanding source of quality products which I have already been using in my horses’ health and maintenance programs for several years so I know how well they work. My horses compete at a very demanding level all around the world and Cavalor’s products help keep them fit and happy.”

For Cavalor Canada, the decision to support Losos de Muñiz was a natural fit.

“Yvonne is a committed dressage rider who sets her sights firmly on her goals and does not look away until she accomplishes them,” noted Francis Berger, General Manager of Cavalor Canada. “Her quest for excellence and her ability to succeed despite the odds puts her in a league of her own, and Cavalor Canada is extremely pleased to play a role in her success.”
