STRIDER Revolutionizes Entry Processes for USEF/USDF Dressage Shows, in Collaboration with PayPal
STRIDER, the company behind the popular Strider entry platform for equestrians, announced today that entries are now open on the Strider Entry Platform for upcoming USEF/USDF recognized dressage competitions. These shows include those hosted at the well known venues of Loch Moy Farm, Dunmovin, and Blue Goose Stable LLC.
This market expansion by STRIDER into recognized shows, following a recent strategic collaboration with leading payments provider PayPal, is anticipated to enhance the rider’s entry experience, providing a modern and seamless transaction, and significantly improve revenue collection throughout the industry.
STRIDER’s software will be used for esteemed dressage competitions like Loch Moy Farm’s Spring Fling Dressage 1 & 2, Dressage at Dunmovin, and Dressage at Blue Goose. These competitions hold recognition from both the United States Equestrian Federation and the United States Dressage Federation, making them crucial stepping stones for riders aspiring to compete at international events like the Summer Olympic Games.
“Loch Moy Farm, Dunmovin, and Blue Goose Stables are highly regarded venues in the equestrian sport, and we’re thrilled to streamline their entry and payment processes,” said Tara Swersie, CEO of Strider.
“Through the implementation of the Strider Platform, venues can now effortlessly enhance their competitors’ entry experience while also facilitating prompt cash flow for the venue’s operational needs. This, in turn, frees up show management teams to redirect their valuable time towards ensuring these significant competitions continue to thrive.”
In a successful collaboration last year, Strider and PayPal joined forces to develop and integrate “StriderPay,” a secure and innovative payment processing system for equestrian venues, into the Strider Platform. The capabilities the Strider Platform now offers with StriderPay represent a substantial leap forward in large scale payment processing for equestrian competitions.
Industry icons highlighted the significance of the STRIDER and PayPal integration for recognized show entries across all competitive equine disciplines: “The STRIDER and PayPal collaboration has been a game-changer as we prepare for the Summer Olympic Games. Strider’s streamlined entry and payment process makes incredibly easy for riders to sign up for top shows and quality schooling opportunities, ensuring they are well-prepared for international competitions.”
With a strong commitment to supporting the growth of the equestrian industry, STRIDER continuously offers innovative technology solutions for riders, show venues, and management teams.
