Ottawa, ON – Equine Canada proudly announces that the 2009 recipient of the Equine Canada Sponsor of the Year is SSG Gloves.
Founded by Ed James over 20 year ago, SSG Gloves’ tagline says it all: “Equestrian gloves for comfort and confidence in competition or when just having fun.”
With over 50 styles to choose from SSG Gloves can offer a quality solution to just about every type of equestrian need — styles for different disciplines including hunter/jumper, dressage, eventing polo, carriage driving, racing, roping and pleasure riding. SSG also offers both warm and cold weather styles and sizing from children to adult. They offer the most complete line of gloves on the market today.
SSG gloves is known throughout the equestrian community for their support of Canadian riders and drivers, and has been a valued sponsor and the official gloves of Equine Canada since 2008. SSG has also created a special Canadian Equestrian Team glove which is available to purchase through Equine Canada at the Equine Canada e-store at www.ec-store.ca.
“It is surprising to win this award because we are a small Canadian company, but in spite of that we are the number one supplier of equine gloves in North America,” said James. “We have a large sales force, but there are only two people on our payroll. Our main sales force is the riders who wear our gloves. Because the riders promote our gloves, we thank them by supporting the federation.”
James also announced SSG Gloves’ lastest glove, the ‘Digital’™ with DigiGrip™ Square Groove Technology. After two years of testing, the ‘Digital’ was designed to be the most breathable, comfortable, durable, closest fit with the best grip of any glove on the market.
Great care was taken in the selection of this award, which prominently features building blocks, as indeed, sponsor generosity and support offers the opportunity for Equine Canada to build and sustain ongoing programs and initiatives to its membership.
