Shawn Flarida on valittu NRHA:n vuoden ratsastajaksi. Flarida on NRHA:n ensimmäinen neljän miljoonan dollarin ratsastaja ja sai tittelin lisäksi satulan, vyönsoljen ja Arenus hevosen terveys ja ravinnetuotteita vuoden tarpeiksi. "Tämä titteli ei olisi voinut mennä paremmalle ratsastajalle. Shawn sen lisäksi että on miellyttävä persoona on myös erittäin sitoutunut reinning urheilun kehittämiseen." sanoin Arenuksen ravinnespesialisti Brady Karren.

Reining champion Shawn Flarida, an NRHA Professional, has added another win to his long and impressive resume, riding away with the 2010 Arenus Rider of the Year title. Sponsored by Arenus, a premier provider of innovative health and nutritional products for pets and horses, in conjunction with the NRHA, Flarida won the Rider of the Year title aboard RC Fancy Step, owned by the Plummer Family of SDP Buffalo Ranch in Fort Worth, Texas. Arenus is an NRHA Corporate Partner.

“We are really proud of Shawn for winning the title and it couldn’t have happened to a nicer person or to a rider who is more committed to the sport of Reining,” said Brady Karren, Arenus Equine Sales Specialist/Nutritionist. “Shawn has been supporting Arenus for a long time and serves as an Arenus Ambassador because he believes in our products. Arenus wants to congratulate all the Rider of the Year winners. Everyone put in a great amount of effort and dedication and Arenus is once again pleased to sponsor the Rider of the Year award.”

Flarida, who is NRHA’s first Four Million Dollar Rider, took home a saddle, a belt buckle and a one-year supply of Arenus products for winning the Rider of the Year title. Marcy Vermeer and Gunners Special Nite placed second in the standings for Rider of the Year, Jordan Larson and Mr Jerry Lee Surpriz won third and Heather Johnson and Doubleknotyourreeboks placed fourth. In the non pro division, Frederick Christen and Skeets Little Annie placed first, Kim Muehlstaetter and Country Custom second, Melissa Wigen and Double Decked Chex third and Callie Abing and Smart Nu Spook fourth.

“The Rider of the Year program was once again very successful and Arenus wants to thank everyone who helped make it so,” Karren said. “Shawn uses the Arenus product ASSURE^®, a digestive product, and I know Shawn will want to look at other Arenus products with his free one-year supply of products. Shawn’s winning partner, RC Fancy Step, used ASSURE during the 2010 Alltech® FEI World Equestrian Games when they helped the Team USA win a Gold Medal.”

ASSURE^® is an innovative digestive supplement that, when fed daily, helps to support overall hindgut health through Arenus’s exclusive GST^® technology of direct-fed microbials. ASSURE^® Guard is an innovative digestive supplement designed to help horses maintain normal digestive function with lifestyle stresses like competition, training and feed changes. “In addition to ASSURE, many reining riders use STEADFAST^® Equine, a joint health product specifically designed for horses with a high-demand lifestyle, which supports total structural joint integrity,” Karren said.

Arenus also features the product families EQUILITE^™ herbal blends, SORE NO-MORE^® topicals, and two products containing DHA/Omega-3- fatty acids. ALEIRA^™ contains DHA with a proprietary blend of mushrooms to support respiratory health and RELEIRA^™ contains omega-3 fatty acids and other nutrients to support normal reproductive function.
