Greenhawk Supports International Helmet Awarness Day

Summary:

Greenhawk supports International Helmet Awareness Day by offering excellent deals on top brand helmets in store, on line and through mail order. Greenhawk even goes as far to offer education on having a properly fitted helmet in good condition and explains needed certifications for helmets at in store locations.




Opinion:

I think this is one of the greatest thing an equine company can participate in. Riding horses can be fun but dangerous at times as well. A helmet should be mandatory equipment for every horse and rider. The protection that a simple helmet can provide is unquestionable. I think this is an excellent marketing idea as well as getting hands on in the safety of their riders! This needs to be taught to both young and old, experienced and beginner. Helmet Safety should be step one and I am so happy that Greenhawk not only recognizes this but is willing to participate in such a great awareness day!

Name of article: Jump Canada Sponsor of the Year for 2008

Publication: February 9th, 2009


Summary:


Jump Canada announced that Greenhawk Harness and Equestrian Supplies will be the recipient of the 2008 sponsor of the year award. This award is to recognize equestrian businesses that help sponsor equestrian show jumping. They have specifically been recognized for sponsoring the championships in both 2007 and 2008, creating the top prize money to be $100, 000! That is the most money given as prize money at the championships! Jump Canada goes on to explain the gratitude and thankfulness towards Greenhawk and its sponsorships throughout many years of equestrian show jumping.

Opinion:

I think out of any equestrian company, Greenhawk is the most deserving of this award! I am aware of all the sponsorships Greenhawk has on many equestrian events. They are known for being a large sponsor in the Canadian Royal Winter Fair. They have also sponsored smaller horse shows and all the way up to championship show jumping. Greenhawk is more then just a business within a community. It makes a difference within the equestrian community and helps dreams come true and possibilities of almost anything happen.
