Equinox
Resort and Spa becomes a Grand Prix Sponsor of the Vermont Summer
Festival
East
Dorset, Vermont— April 4, 2003 – The Equinox Resort
and Spa, a four diamond resort in the heart of Vermont’s
Green Mountains, has joined forces with the Vermont Summer Festival
Horse Show in becoming a Grand Prix Sponsor for the second year.
The five week long event will be held at the Harold Beebe Farm
in East Dorset, Vermont, July 9 through August 10, 2003.
"The
Vermont Summer Festival exhibitors have already discovered the
fine staff and services of the Equinox Hotel, and I expect they’ll
be flocking to the resort’s new Avanyu Spa during their free
time this year" stated Dotty Ammerman, Vermont Summer Festival
Executive Director. "While our competitors love the rural
nature of the Manchester area, they also look for luxury and amenities."
Courtney Lowe, Sales and Marketing Director of the Equinox Resort
added, “We look forward to providing the horse show clientele
first class, personal service again this year, and are excited
to introduce them to our expanded spa treatments in our new Avanyu
Spa. It is a priority for the Equinox to support community events
that promote business and tourism in the region, which makes this
partnership a natural.”
The Vermont Summer Festival is New England’s largest “AA”
rated hunter/jumper horse show circuit. This year’s event
includes five USET-recognized $35,000 Grand Prix and five $10,000
Mini Prix to be held on the last day of each show. Each of the
five weeks will also feature a $10,000 Show Jumping Hall Of Fame
High Junior/Amateur-Owner Jumper class, part of the Show Jumping
Hall of Fame Jumper Classic Series which determines which junior
and amateur/owner riders will qualify to ride at the 2003 National
Horse Show.
