Nominations are now open for the Arena Saddles Sportsmanship Award!
Creating the Arena Saddles Sportsmanship Award is a way for Arena Saddles to say thank you and give back to the incredible equestrian community. The foundation of this award is to honor equestrians who put others before themselves and display acts of selflessness, kindness and integrity that our equestrian community is known for.
Arena Saddles are on the look out for an everyday equestrian who demonstrates outstanding sportsmanship and who is deserving of recognition. The ideal recipient of the Arena Saddles Sportsmanship Award isn’t necessarily the equestrian who wins the most ribbons or has the fanciest horse. The recipient should:
- display exceptional sportsmanship, such as handling victory and defeat with grace and dignity,
- treat everyone with fairness and courtesy, and
- set an example by creating a positive and encouraging environment.
As a reward for their positive influence and sportsmanship, the recipient will receive an Arena saddle of their choice and five runners-up will receive a beautiful Arena Saddle Bag as a recognition prize.
Arena saddles are classically crafted from European leather. As a discerning rider, you will appreciate the elegance and quality of Arena Saddles. Whether competing in dressage, tackling a challenging course of jumps or riding the trails, you will feel supported through the exceptional close contact and complete adjustability for your horse’s unique conformation. Thoughtful touches, such as the ergonomic stirrup bar and softly padded knee inserts for comfort, are just some of the reasons you love your Arena saddle.
Do you know a remarkable equestrian who deserves to be rewarded for their selflessness and positive influence within the equestrian community with an Arena saddle?
Maybe one of your friends generously offered you a helping hand or regularly provided advice to help you in your riding. If you know someone shining a light in your equestrian journey whom you wish to honor for their positive influence, nominate them before November 30 2022!
