Boston, MA- November 9-

EquiFit Inc., the company that offers a complete line of products for riders who are serious about performance, is pleased to announce their sponsorship of top American grand prix rider Aaron Vale of Aiken, South Carolina. EquiFit Inc. offers an extensive range of products, including: the revolutionary T-Boot Series™ horse boots, T-Form saddle pads, and the industry’s only riding posture correction garment, ShouldersBack.

Aaron Vale is one of the hardest working riders on the show jumping circuit today. With his wide range of mounts, Vale is a competitor at any level. So far this year, he has won 19 grand prix events and is becoming one of the leading money winners in American history.

This summer, Vale was invited to compete for the United States Equestrian Team as part of the winning Samsung Super League team. He and Artur 28 competed in Rotterdam, the Netherlands, and Helsinski, Finland. Vale was also the alternate for the final Super League stop in Barcelona, Spain. He and Artur 28 won the Queen’s Cup and were awarded the Lexus Trophy and a new car.

Vale was introduced to EquiFit by other professionals who find the T-Boot Series™ imperative for success. He started using them at the Washington International Horse Show in late October 2005 and stated, “I’ve used them in every class here, and they’re working great.” Vale and My Fair Lady finished second in theWIHS International Open Jumper Puissance, sponsored by AOL.com.

“They’re well made and give nice support,” he went on to say. “They’re very stylish looking as well!”

“Aaron Vale is one of the most exciting riders on the circuit today,” commented EquiFit Inc. President Alexandra Cherubini. “We are thrilled to work with him, and we hope that our products will help him as he advances in his career.”

EquiFit, Inc. is dedicated to helping riders improve and become more competitive. In addition to Vale, they are proud to work with 2004 Athens Olympic gold medalist McLain Ward, Olympic grand prix riders Margie Engle and Alison Firestone, as well as grand prix riders Michael Morrissey, Joie Gatlin, Callan Solem, and Jimmy Torano, Olympic Three-Day event rider Darren Chiacchia, and Australian Three-Day event rider Christine Bates.

Designed by an orthopedic company, the T-Boot Series™ is filled with T-Foam, a revolutionary pressure-relieving viscoelastic material that conforms to the horse’s body, providing maximum support and pressure-point dispersal and eliminating chafing and abrasion. Under body pressure and heat, T-Foam conforms and molds to all contours and bone structures of the horse’s legs and absorbs up to 90 percent of all impact. Because the fit is exact, support and stability are maximized, dirt and debris build-up is minimized, and pressure points are eliminated. When the T-Boots are removed, T-Foam recovers 100 percent of its original shape, ready to provide a perfect custom fit for every horse, every time.

EquiFit’s product line includes five different models of T-Boots. T-1 and T-2 are both open front tendon boot models. The T-4 and T-5 are hind ankle boots. The T-6 , which are hind ankle boots that offer double Velcro closures. The boots are all easy-on, durable, and are offered with either lint-resistant Velcro closures (T-1, T-4, and T-6) or attractive leather closures (T-2, T-5).

They have also expanded their line to include two new T-Boots. The T-Boot LUXE™ is made of top quality, water resistant, brown French leather. It is neoprene free and combines a sophisticated look with the technologically advanced T-Foam lining.

It is manufactured by CWD Sellier, who provides the ultimate leather products in equine sports performance. They concentrate on producing the best equipment and join the aesthetic of the best French classicism with modern innovation.

The T-Boot EXP™ has leather-like styling and an extremely durable shell. It also features removable, washable T-Foam liners that can also be replaced.

In addition to boots, the T-Foam material is used in the T-Form saddle pads that fit a wide range of saddles and come in a saddle shape or a square shape. Both feature a removable, easy to wash, faux sheepskin cover. They mold to every anatomical detail of the saddle and horse’s back. Using open-cell foam technology, the pad is exceptionally light, breathable, and easy to clean and maintain.

Although EquiFit mostly sponsors grand prix riders, their boots and saddle pads can be used for a wide array of equestrian disciplines, including dressage, eventing, endurance, reining, trail riding, and racing.

Cherubini, of Boston, MA, is also an equestrian. “I developed the T-Boot Series™ after years of trying different boots on the market,” said Cherubini. “There really was nothing out there that addressed the full range of issues and conditions that horses encounter in the show ring and in everyday work.” Cherubini competes in the Adult Hunter and Jumper divisions and uses her products on her horses.
