Fans who visit Tredstep Ireland at Rolex will enjoy a number of product specials, promotions and giveaways throughout the event.
Rolex is always highly anticipated as it is the only CCI4* in North America, and this year boasts an entry list of more than 80 competitors. Tredstep Ireland has a record five sponsored riders competing at the event including top American Event riders Emily Beshear, Hannah Sue Burnett, Lauren Kieffer, Kristin Schmolze and Sharon White.
On Friday, April 25 these riders will team up to offer fans autographs and a guided cross-country course walk – discussing the questions each fence poses and breaking down their strategies for success. Fans who’d like to meet the riders and participate in the course walk should follow Tredstep Ireland on Twitter (@TredstepIreland) to check exact time and meeting location. Special prizes will be awarded to the first 20 fans that join the course walk.
On her return to Rolex, Tredstep rider Kristin Schmolze commented “Rolex is always such a fantastic event and the support that exists for all of the riders at this venue is truly incredible. I am enthusiastic about competing Ballylaffin Bracken aka ‘Rox’ at Rolex for his second time, building on what we learned about one another in his first CCI4*. I feel confident in his preparation leading up to the event, and I’m excited to compete amongst what looks to be a very talented field of horses and riders.”
On Saturday, April 26 Tredstep will partner with Eventing Nation to host an all-day tailgate party overlooking the Cross Country course. Not only will attendees have an excellent vantage point to watch the thrilling Cross Country competition, they will be able to watch Tredstep’s infamous stain resistant video, participate in fun promotions including a raffle and a scavenger hunt, and be eligible to win prizes such as Tredstep clothing, jackets, ball caps and even a pair of Tredstep’s new Da Vinci Stretch tall boots.
Tredstep fans are welcome to attend any and all events sponsored by the company and participate in the spirit of this venerated annual event. Follow along on Facebook and Twitter to learn more and stay abreast of happenings during Rolex.
About Tredstep Ireland
In 1993, Irish entrepreneur and Three-Day Event rider Aidan Keogh saw the need for a better half chap, and set out to create his own. A former design student who studied fine arts, Keogh believed that he could improve the comfort and performance of riding wear, while respecting the traditions of a Centuries-old sport. His product eventually redefined the market and brought half-chaps to the mainstream where they are now standard equipment for every rider. Along the way he created Tredstep Ireland, a company driving innovation, but ever respectful of the traditional roots of equestrian sport.
