Sandy, Utah (June 25, 2021) — Premier Equestrian Ambassadors Adrienne Lyle, Steffen Peters, and Sabine Schut-Kery have been named members of the U.S. Dressage Team and will compete this summer in Tokyo.
“We’re proud of the achievements of our Premier Equestrian Ambassadors,” said Heidi Zorn, president of Premier Equestrian. “We would like to congratulate Adrienne, Steffen, and Sabine for making the U.S. Dressage Team. This is a power-house trio and we’re very optimistic that Team USA will be high on the podium in Tokyo.”

The company has also provided footing and other arena products for Olympian Laura Graves, the Palm Beach International Equestrian Center (PBIEC)—home to the annual Winter Equestrian Festival (WEF)—the Desert International Horse Park, and additional notable facilities throughout the U.S., Canada, and Mexico.
The trio were chosen for the U.S. Dressage Team following their stellar performances at this month’s Olympic Observation Event held at the International Arena at PBIEC. In 2019, Premier Equestrian updated the International Arena at PBIEC with Premier ProTex Footing Product and OTTO Sport Base Mats.

RETURNING OLYMPIANS ADRIENNE LYLE, STEFFEN PETERS HIGHLIGHT U.S. DRESSAGE TEAM
Steffen Peters has an Olympic medal older than the horse he’ll ride in dressage this summer at his fifth Olympic Games in Tokyo.
Peters, 56, and Suppenkasper, 13, form one of four athlete-and-horse combinations announced to the U.S. Olympic dressage team Thursday by US Equestrian. They’ll join Olympian Adrienne Lyle and Salvino, Sabine Schut-Kery and Sanceo, along with Nick Wagman and Don John as the traveling reserve. They’ll all be looking to get Team USA to the top of the Olympic dressage podium for the first time ever.
Lyle, 36, made her Olympic debut in 2012 aboard Wizard. She placed 37th competing in the individual event. With Salvino, a 14-year-old Hanoverian stallion, she competed at the 2018 World Equestrian Games and helped the U.S. win the team silver medal.
Peters is a native of Germany who moved to the U.S. in 1984 and became a citizen in 1992. He made his Olympic debut in 1996 aboard Udon, winning a bronze medal with the U.S. team. Peters has gone on to medal at three World Equestrian Games, most recently in 2018 aboard Suppenkasper. Peters won his second Olympic medal, a bronze, in Rio five years ago riding Legolas 92.
Schut-Kery, 52, also hails from Germany and came to the U.S. in 1998. She has been teamed with Sanceo since the 2015 Pan American Games when she won the gold medal on a team that included Peters. Schut-Kery and Sanceo were on the FEI Nations Cup-winning team in 2018.
Wagman, who will turn 48 during the Games, competed in the 2019 FEI Dressage Nations Cup in Geesteren, Netherlands, and also in France where the U.S. won bronze.
Additionally, two athlete-horse combinations were named as alternates: Olivia LaGoy-Weltz and Rassing’s Lonoir along with Ben Ebeling and Illuster van de Kampert.
