Reining
The NRHA’s Leading Man has now entered the new arena – the online one! On June 25, 2008, Shawn Flarida launched his official Web site, www.thegreenshirt.com. The site is named for the infamous green shirt that Flarida always wears while showing.
“We tried to get ‘Shawn Flarida’ or ‘Shawn Flarida Reiners,’ but every way we tried it, the name was already taken,” explained Michele Flarida. “Someone had bought everything with his name in it and they tried to sell it to us for thousands of dollars. So, we came up with www.thegreenshirt.com, and it was open – so we went with it!”
The site, which is the first for Flarida, features information about Shawn, his outstanding barn of horses, his staff, family, schedule, and of course, the latest news about Shawn and his clients. You can also browse horses for sale and buy official Shawn Flarida merchandise in the store. The site was created by Aysha Hoffman of Infinite Design and Kellie Carr of Western Vision Productions.
“This site will be a great place for Shawn’s fans to keep up on what he’s doing, and also give reining fans a chance to learn more about Shawn and his family,” Michele explained. “We’re also very excited to offer our fans a chance to buy our official merchandise in the store. We’ve invested in top-quality product to offer for sale, and now we finally have a chance to share it with our fans from around the world.”
In addition to the information and news to be found on the site, fans can take a virtual tour of the Flarida’s Springfield, Ohio, farm in the photo gallery, or visit Shawn’s sponsors from the “partners” section.
“We hope our fans and friends will visit the site and come back often for updates,” Flarida said. “This site has been a long time coming, and we’re proud to finally be online.”
Flarida is the NRHA’s All-Time Leading Money-earning rider, with more than $2.8 million dollars won and counting. He is just the second rider to earn two million dollars in NRHA competition, and has four NRHA Open Futurity wins to his credit. Flarida is proudly sponsored by EZ-All, Horseware Ireland, Lubrisyn, Leonard Trailers, Wrangler, Classic Equine, Purina Mills and Pards Western Store.
