Heidi Zorn - Founder, President
Heidi, a lifelong equestrian, grew up in Sandy, UT competing in hunter/jumpers. As she transitioned into dressage, she recognized a need in the market for safe and affordable arena products. In 2000 she engineered the first Premier Classic Dressage Arena, which led to a revolutionary line of dressage arenas, letters, flower boxes, maintenance-free jumps, and a line of synthetic footing and arena surface products.
Her constant drive to learn about all the aspects that go into keeping horses happy and healthy has made her a sought-after lecturer on equine biomechanics and the effects of footing on equine health and safety. Heidi is recognized as one of the leading footing experts in North America. She has given lectures at The Footing League Academy, Utah State University, USDF Annual Convention, as well as other events.
