Dressage Extensions Has New Owner
“”Littleton's Dover Saddlery buys Calif. firm
The Lowell Sun
01/15/2015
LITTLETON -- Equestrian products provider Dover Saddlery Inc.
said it has acquired a California based specialty retailer for an
undisclosed price. Moorpark, Calif. based Dressage Extensions,
which sells equestrian dressage, will continue operating
independently.
"We are impressed with the success of Dressage Extensions
and look forward to working with this prestigious brand to
continue its focus and growth with the dressage market
segment," said Stephen L. Day, president and CEO of
Dover Saddlery, in a statement.
Dover Saddlery Inc., based at 525 Great Road, sells equestrian
products -- items used to own, ride and train horses -- in retail
stores, through catalogs and over the Internet. It posted 2013
sales of $93.8 million. The company was founded in 1975 by
U.S. Equestrian team members. Shares of Dover Saddlery closed
Wednesday at $4.75.””
