Date of 2009 American Eventing Championships Announced

Updated: February 2, 2009

Mark your calendars! The sixth annual American Eventing Championships will be held at for the third year at the beautiful Lamplight Equestrian Center in Wayne, Illinois on September 10-13.

The USEA was honored to have Wellpride as our title sponsor for the past three years, and now that their commitment to the AEC has ended, we're currently searching for a new title sponsor. The USEA has thoroughly enjoyed our partnership with Wellpride and we're delighted to have them as a corporate sponsor.

"We would like to thank Wellpride for their support of the USEA and especially our American Eventing  Championships," said Jo Whitehouse, CEO of the USEA. "They have enabled us to bring a wealth of benefits to our members and they have been delightful to work with. Wellpride has a superior product in its Omega-3 fish oils and we wish the company every success in the coming years."

Last year's AEC was once again successful in bringing together eventers from all over the country in a fun-filled celebration of our sport. Competitors didn't let a little rain (okay, a record-setting eight inches of rain!) dampen their high spirits. The AEC received praises for the event staff, many of them volunteers, who worked around the clock to make sure the event ran smoothly and safely.  Our members were thrilled with the online multimedia and magazine coverage that the USEA provided competitors, their friends and family, and eventing enthusiasts all across the world. We look forward to more smiling faces this year!

There are a variety of ways for you or your company to support this great sporting event. A range of sponsorship levels are available, all offering entertainment and marketing visibility benefits.  Customized sponsorship packages are also available. For more information on becoming an AEC sponsor, contact Jan Zwak, the Director of Sponsorship, at jan@useventing.com or call 1-612-747-9674.
