Bromont Three Day Event - Dressage Videos

The Bromont Three Day Event is our only local CCI (about 1 hour from ECOGOLD headquarters in Montreal, Quebec) and we love to support this great event. The facility was used for the 1976 Montreal Olympic Games and this year, it is entirely being renovated. The competition is underway with many riders proudly sporting Ecogold's Secure Dressage saddle pads. Here are some videos!

Sinead Halpin's top horse getting fit in the pool

We're glad to hear that Sinead Halpin's top horse Manior De Carneville (aka Tate) is on the mend, after an injury earlier this year which sidelined him from the Rolex Three-Day Event.

Here he is having an aqua-therapy fitness session (aka - fun in the pool.)
