World’s Leading Equine Nutrition Company Selects Dobbs as the first “Cavalor Young Champion”

Cavalor, the world’s leading equine nutrition company for high-performance horses, has selected Grand Prix show jumping rider Hillary Dobbs as the company’s first “Cavalor Young Champion.”

Philippe Collard, president of Cavalor, Inc., announced the company’s sponsorship of the 21-year-old star on August 26 at the Hampton Classic Horse Show in Bridgehampton, NY, where last year she became the youngest rider ever to win the Classic’s Grand Prix championship.  Dobbs joined Collard in the Grand Prix arena after the $7,500 Cavalor 1.35m Open Jumper Class to formally launch the sponsorship and present awards to the class’s top finishers, including presenting a Cavalor cooler to the class winner, Show Jumping Hall of Famer Joe Fargis.

 “We are thrilled for Hillary to be our first Cavalor Young Champion,” said Collard. “Hillary is not only a great competitor, but also an outstanding person, and we are honored to have her wear the Cavalor colors.”

 Dobbs joins a select group of champion riders sponsored by Cavalor, the Official Feed of the Hampton Classic Horse Show and the Official Belgium feed partner for the 2010 Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games. Cavalor’s sponsored show jumping riders include 2008 Olympic champion Eric Lamaze of Canada, reigning World Champion Jos Lansink of Belgium, and eight-time Olympian and two-time World Cup champion Ian Millar of Canada. Cavalor also sponsors dressage greats Anky van Grunsven of The Netherlands, the reigning World and Olympic champion, and Steffen Peters of the United States, the 2009 World Cup champion.

 “Cavalor’s sponsorship is very meaningful to me.  Cavalor feed and supplements are well-known for producing outstanding results.  It is also a big advantage to have Cavalor’s name and resources behind me as I advance in my career,” said Dobbs, who following the Hampton Classic will begin her senior year at Harvard University.
