Platinum Performance Riders Give Reining a Spin

Santa Ynez Valley, CA – April 10, 2009 – Two Platinum Performance sponsored riders have been chosen to compete in the first-ever International Reining Celebrity Challenge to be held during the FEI World Cup Finals in Las Vegas, NV, April 15-19.  Charlotte Brehdahl-Baker, an Olympic medalist in Dressage, as well as Will Simpson, an Olympic gold medal winning Show Jumper, will compete against European riders in the team based competition. 

The National Reining Horse Association (NRHA) and the American Quarter Horse Association (AQHA) are co-sponsors of the International Reining Celebrity Challenge and are supplying an abundance of Reining expertise in the form of coaches, riders and, of course, horses. Each team will consist of the following riders with one dressage, one jumping and one reining competitor assigned to each team.

“It is always exciting to see how equestrian skills translate from one discipline to another”, says Mark Herthel, President of Platinum Performance.

Equestrian Will Simpson goes even farther and says “You never know, I might get hooked on Reining”.
