Fratelli Fabbri Brings Sponsorship…
Fratelli Fabbri Brings Sponsorship and Competition to Devon and Beyond
EQUINIUM SPORTS _ Devon, PA (June 6, 2019) - With the summer show season officially underway, Fratelli Fabbri has stepped up to support equestrian sport while their influential team of #FabbriFamily riders make their presence known with top accolades. From the prestigious Dixon Oval to the Aiken Charity Horse Show and everywhere in between, Fabbri's sponsorship and the competitiveness of its riders are making a statement in show rings around the country.
As the famous Devon Horse Show reached a crescendo last week, a number of the top placing riders were also members of the Fabbri family. Ali Wolff and Casall finished third in Thursday's $215,000 Sapphire Grand Prix of Devon, a major accomplishment against a class of top riders including winner and multiple Olympian McLain Ward. Catherine Tyree and Bokia finished just behind her in third. Catherine Tyree and BEC Lorenzo also won Friday's $36,000 Devon Speed Derby, with fellow Fabbri rider Lillie Keenan finishing second on Ikea. Tyree and Keenan also finished second and third in the $50,000 Jet Run Devon Welcome Stake.
Two of Fabbri's younger family members, Sam Walker and Kat Fuqua, made big waves in the equitation and hunter rings at Devon. Walker took victory in the Dover Saddlery/USEF Hunter Seat Medal Section B and WIHS Equitation Classic - Jumper Phase Section B aboard Waldo. Walker is the defending 2018 ASPCA MacLay National Champion. Fuqua, the defending 2018 USEF Pony Finals Champion, jumped to top placings in the Large Pony Hunters with Chic in Time and in the Junior Hunters Under 15 with Calvaro.
Kevin Babington, who rides in the cutting edge Fabbri VEG boots, secured the George Pew Meml Perpetual Trophy aboard Super Chilled, for winning the first round of the $36,000 Devon Intl Speed Stake.
Prior to Devon, Fabbri set up shop for three weeks at the Aiken Charity Horse Show, where they were a sponsor of the USHJA International Hunter Derby where they awarded a pair of Fabbri PRO boots. Following Devon, their sponsorship and Fabbri booth locations are:
▪Aiken Summer Shows (June 12 - 23, 2019)
▪Charlestone Summer Shows (July 9 - 20, 2019)
▪Princeton Show Jumping (July - October, 2019)
▪Silver Oak Jumper Tournament (August 14-18, 2019)
Furthering the fusion of modern and classic, Fabbri brings a leading edge, made to ride design to its performance riding boots, with ready to wear, off the rack Pro Boots, limitless custom design options, and of course the recently unveiled Fabbri VEG, a boot made completely without animal products. The juxtaposition of classic Italian craftsmanship with leading edge features has made Fabbri the choice of top riders and Olympians from the hunter ring to the cross country course and everywhere in between.
As part of the brand's dedication to reducing its carbon footprint while increasing actual Fabbri footprints in show and training arenas around the world, the Fabbri VEG boots are crafted from faux leather and other non-animal components for less of an environmental impact. Since their inception in 1924, the company has sought to use increasingly eco-friendly manufacturing and operational methods, beginning with the introduction of raw, non-processed materials. The Fabbri VEG boots were a natural next step for the eco-conscious brand.
