Congratulations
William Fox-Pitt
Albion would like to congratulate William Fox-Pitt on his
recent win at Burghley '05 and also the silver and gold medals
at Blenheim International. These wins further secure his position
at the top of the rankings.
Albion have worked with William to develop and perfect the
Kontact Saddle, and sales of the saddle are soaring, so more
riders are benefiting from his knowledge. William advises
that at all times the KB bridles are used to improve the horses
comfort which he can return to you in improved submission.
International
sales strategy arrives in the USA
A
recent restructure of the Albion USA distribution policy became
effective in May 2005. This will bring the USA in line with
the proven successful international sales strategy which has
been brought in to effect to improve communication and overall
product knowledge of the dedicated and trained fitters and
retailers. This strategy has already been effective and proven
in Europe, Scandinavia, Australia, South Africa and Korea
before been launched into the USA. For the rider, very little
alters and the majority of the existing fitters have embraced
the new structure as well as some new additional stockists,
all whom can be found on the US retailer finder.
Individual Bronze and Team Gold
for Nicola Tustain
Albion would like to congratulate British
Paralympic squad member Nichola Tustain on her recent Olympic
success. Albion have supported Nichola over the last twelve
months by providing bespoke saddlery solutions, ensuring that
Nichola and her horses always achieve peak performance. Riding
the German bred, 12-year-old Prinz Heinrich, Nichola was,
for the second Olympics in succession, part of the gold medal
winning dressage team. Throughout the Athens games Nichola
struggled with the injury to her lower arm that had prevented
her from completing her rigorous Olympic preparations. Even
though Nichola’s preparations were severely hampered,
her performances in Athens were outstanding and along with
her team gold medal she also achieved bronze medals in both
the individual Grade 11 and Freestyle Grade 11 classes.
Carl Hester’s
Ultimate Albion Combination
Carl Hester chooses prototype Ultima
SLK with the Genesis titanium tri-form tree for his Olympic
mount Escapado where he was best British Dressage Rider –
Athens 2004.
“Dressage is all about subtlety,
lightness and softness, the increased stability of the Albion
bespoke Genesis saddle, and improved comfort from the KB bridle
left Escapado only focusing on my instructions. He was totally
relaxed from head to tail.” said Carl |
