Matrix Equine Team Members Jane Hannigan and Maksymilian Invited to Perform at Breast Cancer Benefit
Matrix Equine Team members Jane Hannigan and Maksymilian will lend their support to breast cancer research by performing at the Potomac Valley Dressage Association's Ride for Life Dancing Horse Challenge in Upper Marlboro, Maryland. Jane and Mak will perform the Grand Prix freestyle they used when competing at this year's Dressage World Cup in Europe.
The Potomac Valley Dressage Association (PVDA) is the second oldest dressage club in the United States and was founded in 1964. The Ride for Life is now in its fifth year. It was created by former PVDA president and breast cancer survivor, Pat Artimovich. This year's show, scheduled for June 28-29, has a goal of raising $70,000 for the Johns Hopkins Avon Foundation Breast Cancer Center.
Jane and Mak, a 14-year-old Dutch Warmblood gelding, have been Matrix Equine Team members since the winter of 2007 and Jane is quick to credit the Matrix with helping make Mak a calmer, more focused competitor. The pinnacle of their successes since starting on the Matrix was qualifying to compete in this year's Dressage World Cup - the dressage world championships - where they were the highest-placed American pair.
Mak is one of many high-performance competition horses using the Matrix. A growing number of riders and trainers around the world, including top dressage riders Steffen and Shannon Peters, are discovering the many health benefits for their horses, which includes the promotion of healthy joints, immune system support and increased stamina and muscle development.
