Stanford/Heritage Partnership and IHSA Zone Finals

Leading up to the IHSA Zone Finals, which will be held April 7-8 at the Stanford Red Barn, the Stanford Equestrian Team is proud to announce its partnership with Heritage Performance Gloves. Heritage, the official glove of the United States Equestrian Federation and of competitive equestrians worldwide, was the first-choice glove of the riders of the team. Both the hunt seat and dressage teams have selected the Elite and Premier Show Gloves as their performance glove of choice.

"We are delighted to be wearing Heritage gloves. I can't believe how well they fit and look forward to wearing them at Zones," said team president Justine Thomas ('12), who will be competing in Individual Novice Fences and Team Intermediate Flat. One of the features of Heritage show gloves that team members commented on was the new touch-screen compatible fabric that allows riders to multitask with smartphones in the barn without needing to take off their gloves.
