We Are Proud To Announce -
In early June, 16-year-old Para-Equestrian and Equicizer owner Sydney Collier was among 23 other horse and rider combinations who competed in the World Equestrian Games U.S Para-Dressage Selection Trials at the USET headquarters in Gladstone, NJ for a chance to compete at the World Equestrian Games (WEG) in France later this year. Team Equicizer is proud to announce that shortly after, Syd was notified that she had been chosen to be on the para-equestrian team representing the US!
The path to get to this point has taken Syd and her family - specifically her mother, Anna Collier, who travels with her -  all over the country competing and preparing for this moment. Her Equicizer, Wyburn, who is part of her normal training routine, has played an essential role in her journey.
If you would like to support Syd on her trip, you can check out her website: www.sydsparaquest.com and while you're at it, give her facebook page a "like" to stay up to date with all of Syd's current happenings leading up to the World Equestrian Games!

New! Equicizer Product Reviews
We have added a great new addition to our website that allows people to leave feedback on our Equicizer models and products! If you head to our store, you can click on one of our products, scroll down and read through product reviews from our customers for each item.
 If you've been sitting on the bench for a while trying to decide if you should place your order, this is a great way for you to get a feel for what to expect throughout the ordering process and once you receive your new horse. It's also a great platform for our Equicizer owners to leave feedback on their Equicizers, how they use them and in what ways their Equicizer has benefited them.
We currently have reviews on both our Elite and Classic Models. Click on the name of the model you're interested in to read more! (If you're an Equicizer owner, feel free to head over and leave your own review - we'd love to hear from you!)
