Steffen Peters (USA) and Ravel

Cavalor dressage rider Steffen Peters made history at the World Equestrian Festival - CDIO in Aachen, Germany.

Peters, the reining Rolex FEI World Cup Dressage Champion and a three-time Olympic veteran,rode Akiko Yamazaki's 11-year-old Dutch Warmblood, Ravel, and became the first US rider to sweep Aachen's Grand Prix, Grand Prix Spéciale and the Grand Prix Freestyle.

For Peters and Ravel, the win was the result of many months of hard work and intense training. Following their in wins at the Rolex FEI World Cup Final in Las Vegas and at Aachen, the pair has now set their sights on the Dressage World Championships to be held at the 2010 Alltech World Equestrian Games in Lexington, KY.

Cavalor, whose complete line of supplements, care and feed products which address the diverse needs and requirements of topsport horses and breeding stables, welcomed Peters to their team of riders in early May after his victory at the World Cup Final. "We had put Ravel on Cavalor feed products a bit before the World Cup Finals in Las Vegas. Since then he has more energy and the scores have been higher," said Peters of the positive results Ravel has experienced since using Cavalor products.

"We could not be more excited for the success that Steffen and Ravel have experienced in the last few months," said Philippe Collard, President of Cavalor, Inc. "Steffen is a wonderful addition to our team, and Cavalor is looking forward to supporting him to further success at the 2010 Alltech World Equestrian Games."

In addition to Peters' win at Aachen, two other Cavalor riders, three-time Olympic individual gold medalist and nine-time Dressage World Cup Champion Anky Van Grunsven and her Olympic teammate Marlies van Baalenwere two of the four riders on The Netherlands' winning Nations' Cup team at Aachen.

"It is crucial for horses traveling and competing at the top levels of their sport to be kept on a feed and care program that helps them reach their full potential," said Collard. "Steffen, Anky and Marlies's success at Aachen is a perfect example of how Cavalor products give horses the riders the support they need to succeed in one of the top events in the world."
