Ottawa, Ontario— Equine Canada proudly announces that the 2009 recipient of the Equine Canada Sponsor of the Year is SSG Gloves. Founded by Ed James over 20 year ago, SSG Gloves’ tagline says it all: “Equestrian gloves for comfort and confidence in
adult. They offer the most complete line of gloves on the market today.
SSG gloves is known throughout the equestrian community for their sup- port of Canadian riders and drivers, and has been a val- ued sponsor and the official gloves of Equine Canada
have a large sales force, but there are only two people on our payroll. Our main sales force is the riders who wear our gloves. Because the riders promote our gloves, we thank them by sup- porting the federation.”
James also announced SSG Gloves’ lastest glove, the ‘Digi- tal’™ with DigiGrip™ Square Groove Technology. After two years of testing, the ‘Digital’ was designed to be the most
breathable, comfortable, durable, closest fit with the best grip of any glove on the market. Great care was taken in the selection of this award, which prominently features building blocks, as indeed, sponsor gen- erosity and support offers the opportunity for Equine Canada to build and sustain ongoing programs and initiatives to its membership.
