Mushroom Matrix Equine Team Members Shannon and Steffen Peters Collect Blue Ribbons at 2008 Del Mar National Horse Show
Mushroom Matrix Equine Team members Shannon and Steffen Peters collected a fair number of blue ribbons at the recent 2008 Del Mar National Horse Show. Held at the Del Mar Fairgrounds in Del Mar, California, the prestigious Del Mar National, running this year from April 17 through May 4, features dressage, hunter/jumper and western competition.
Shannon and Steffen are two of America's leading dressage riders. This husband and wife team have amassed a large collection of blue ribbons in their show careers and during the dressage portion of the Del Mar National, held April 24-27, they collected several more. Shannon, who not only feeds the Mushroom Matrix to her horses but also takes it herself, took a first place in Third Level competition with Weltino's Magic, a six-year-old Westfalen gelding owned by Jen and Bruce Hlavacek. Shannon and Weltino's Magic also collected ribbons in two FEI-level young horse classes.
Steffen collected blue ribbons in both Prix St. Georges competition and in the Intermediaire Freestyle with Montango, a 14-year-old Dutch Warmblood gelding owned by James and Mary Keenan. He also earned a blue with Ravel by winning the Grand Prix Sweepstakes. Ravel is a 10-year-old Dutch Warmblood gelding owned by Akiko Yamazaki. In addition to his first-place wins, Steffen also had second and third-place finishes in international-level competition with Lombardi 11 and Prince. Steffen's victories at the Del Mar National put him in a good position for making the 2008 U.S. Olympic Dressage Team.
The Peters are strong proponents of the Mushroom Matrix with Shannon reporting that the Matrix has not only improved the overall health of horses in their barn, but it has also helped address anxiety issues. She has really noticed the change in her partner, Weltino's Magic. "The Hlavacek's purchased him in September and he went to his first show in November and let me tell you, he was not so focused! I started him on the Matrix in December, and every show he has gone to since, he has been far more focused, with good energy and rideability!" Weltino's Magic is a rising star and with the help of the Matrix, Shannon believes he has a bright future ahead of him.
Shannon and Steffen are just two of many top-level riders and trainers who have discovered the benefits of Matrix nutritional supplements. These benefits include promoting healthy joints, reducing inflammation, boosting the immune system, increasing stamina and reducing stress and anxiety.
