Mushroom Matrix Plays Host to Riders, Owners and Judges at Selection
Trials for U.S. Olympic Dressage Team
The Mushroom Matrix played host to riders, horse owners, judges and spectators
who gathered in San Juan Capistrano, California for the Olympic Dressage Selection
Trials and the 2008 Collecting Gaits Farm/USEF Festival of Champions, held
at The Blenheim Oaks show grounds from June 20-29.
During both weekends of the competition, the Matrix hosted a reception on
the show grounds featuring award-winning wines from the Matrix's own Dr. Mushroom,
a.k.a Dr. Marvin Hausman. Dr. Hausman is the lead developer behind the Matrix
formula and in addition to his successful career as a medical researcher, he
and his wife, Deborah, also own and operate Quailhurst Vineyard Estates where
they produce both award-winning wines and award-winning show horses.
Helping play host during the two weekend receptions was DressageDaily.com,
Custom Saddlery and Shaw's Saddlery. Dozens of partygoers gathered for each
reception sharing wine, food, fun and Matrix information. Dr. Hausman was on
hand to share in the fun during the first reception and DressageDaily.com's
Mary Phelps was on the grounds for weekend two. Matrix Vice President Keith
Manfred held down the Matrix fort throughout the entire run of the Festival
proving that with a daily dose of Matrix one really can handle endless long
days and short nights. The Matrix wishes to thank its Equine Team Matrix members,
dressage fans and fellow reception hosts for a successful Festival run.
Produced by Golden Gourmet Mushrooms of San Marcos, California, the Matrix
is a special blend of organically-grown medicinal mushrooms that comes in formulas
for humans, small animals and horses. A growing number of top riders and trainers
are discovering the benefits of the Matrix and many of joined Team Matrix – as
the group of equestrian Matrix promoters is called. Group members include Shannon
and Steffen Peters, classical trainer and rider Bettina Drummond; Jane Hannigan,
who represented the U.S. in the Dressage World Cup this spring; Carl Nafzger,
trainer of Kentucky Derby winners Street Sense and Unbridled; leading California
show jumping rider Will Simpson and U.S. Equestrian Federation Young Horse
Coach Scott Hassler and his wife, Susanne. Some of the newest members are dressage
riders and trainers Willy Arts, Sue Jaccoma and Michelle Gibson.
What has made the Matrix so popular is that it provides multiple benefits.
Mushrooms contain L-Ergothioneine (ERGO), an antioxidant far more powerful
than that found in other substances such as beta-carotene and vitamins C and
E. Antioxidants are the body’s defense system and aid in the prevention
of the cellular damage that contributes to aging, injury, cancer and many other
diseases. Rich in this vital antioxidant, Matrix supplements provide multiple
health benefits for horses, including promoting healthy joints, reducing inflammation,
boosting the immune system, increasing stamina and reducing stress and anxiety.
