ZetrOZ LLC, manufacturer of the UltrOZ Elite therapeutic system announces that on June 1, 2012 McLain Ward riding Antares F, Margie Engle riding Indigo, and Charlie Jayne riding Chill R Z moved one step closer to their Olympic goals by placing 1st, 2nd, and 3rd at the USEF Observation Event for the U.S. Show Jumping Team for the 2012 Olympic Games.
An UltrOZ user for over a year, McLain Ward scored his seventh Grand Prix of Devon title on his stellar post-injury fight for his spot on the Olympic Team. Ward also scored the Richard E. McDevitt Style Award for his outstanding performance. With this win he also won the first leg of the Taylor Harris $200,000 Triple Crown Challenge.
Two of the more recent UltrOZ users, Margie Engle and Charlie Jayne, also gave dazzling displays of perfection to seize the number 2 and 3 spots in the prestigious Observation Event.
“UltrOZ is excited to see the continued success of each of our riders and proud to be a part of the tremendous opportunity and responsibility in caring for these world class equine athletes,” said Bryant Guffey, CEO of ZetrOZ, LLC. “UltrOZ is the only wearable ultrasound therapy system on the market designed specifically for the equine athletes. We built it to be safe, easy, and effective so that athletes could finally get this therapy on a daily basis. Now riders are reaping the benefits of consistent daily maintenance routines and healthier equine athletes. We’re doing our part to make these athletes jump at top performance and we love doing it!”
Dr. Holly Schmitt, DVM, an expert in wearable ultrasonic modalities also added “whether low intensity ultrasound is used prior to competition to loosen muscles and prevent injury, or after competition to reduce swelling and increase nutrient transport, it has proven to be a valuable maintenance routine to recover athletes back to top condition without the use of drugs or surgery.”
ZetrOZ LLC was founded in early 2009 and is headquartered in the heart of upstate New York. The Company’s technology was developed in collaboration with Cornell University, home of the world renowned Cornell Veterinary Hospital.
