We would like to congratulate Theodore Boris who claimed the Platinum Performance/USEF Show Jumping Talent Search West Coast Finals Championship at the Los Angeles International Horse Show on September 20, 2009. Theodore claimed the title on the strength of his consistent performance in the Final Ride-Off Phase – where the top four competitors ride their own horse and then each of the other competitors horses over the same course. Platinum Advisor, Sarah Periera, who attended the West Coast Finals commented,”The show was amazing! The competition was so tough. It was exciting to meet all of the young riders and hear about their Platinum horses.”
Congratulations also goes to Matthew Metell who claimed the Platinum Performance/USEF Show Jumping Talent Search East Coast Finals Championship in Gladstone, NJ on October 4, 2009. This year the Finals – East had a record number of entries with 97 riders completing all three Phases. After many near-perfect rounds, Matthew Metell was victorious. Platinum Advisor, Olivia Zublin, attended the East Coast Finals. She said, “It was very inspiring, being around such a talented group of young adults.”
Sir Songi D’Oro (Smokey Joe) is a 9 year old Thoroughbred Gelding who has been very successful in making a winning mark on the Zone 7 USEF and Greater Oklahoma Jumper Divisions. Until adding Platinum performance to our daily routine, Smokey Joe had problems maintaining a healthy weight. (a race horse at heart) Now, his muscles are well developed and he has a beautiful shiny bay coat. He is a very kind hearted and loves to navigate the jumper courses with ease. Thank you Platinum Performance Equine.
