Ariat Sponsors Olympic
Athlete Boyd Martin
Union City, Calif. November 26, 2012 -Ariat
International, the leader in innovative Western and English footwear, apparel
and accessories, announces the sponsorship of US Eventing Team member Boyd
Martin. Martin is an accomplished four-star competitor who represented the
United States at the 2012 Olympic Games in London riding Otis Barbotiere. He
was also the top finishing US rider at the 2010 Alltech FEI World Equestrian
Games in Lexington, KY riding Neville Bardos.
“I am
honored to be sponsored by Ariat,” says Martin “I spend a lot of time in the
saddle and I find their innovative and technically-advanced products are
comfortable, well-fitting, and allow me to ride and compete at peak
performance.”
In his
native Australia, Martin bought an Off the Track Thoroughbred named Neville
Bardos and turned him into a four-star event horse. In 2011, he led the horse
from a burning barn that claimed the lives of six other horses. Neville
sustained severe injuries to his airway, but just seven weeks later horse and
rider finished seventh at the Burghley CCI4* in England. Their efforts were
rewarded when Neville was named the 2011 USEF International Horse of the Year.
Their story was featured on NBC television and on the front page of The New York Times.
“Boyd’s
story is so inspirational; he saved Neville’s life twice and they have so many
amazing accomplishments together,” says Susan Alcala, vice president of
partnership marketing at Ariat. “He is a great ambassador, both for the sport
of Eventing as well as for our brand.”
Martin owns
and operates Windurra USA in Cochranville, PA along with his wife Silva, a
Grand Prix dressage rider and trainer. To learn more, visit http://boydandsilvamartin.com/
