Nutrena returned to Texas once again as the title sponsor of the American Eventing Championship. Nutrena produces top quality feeds for horses throughout all stages of life and competition. Two of the most popular products for eventers are the XNT and Fuel from the ProForce® Line. These feeds contain higher fat levels to provide energy to equine athletes. They combine this high level of fat with a controlled starch. Controlled starch programs benefit event horses in two ways. First, a controlled starch diet reduces digestive upsets and ulcers. Second, controlled starches allow performances horses to maintain the highest level of stamina. Nutrena Representative Sharon Choney says that, “The hardest part of an event horse is their high level of fitness. Controlled starches ensure that your horse wont be too excitable for the first phase, but also that he will have enough energy to finish the two jump phases.”
Nutrena has been a long standing supporter of the United States Eventing Association and of the sport itself. “The energy at events is beyond compare,” says Nutrena Representative Ruthie Stotler, “We share the passion that eventers have for the animals.”
Stop by the Nutrena booth inside the Indoor Arena to learn more about their products and enter for your chance to win a month’s worth of feed. For more information on Nutrena please visit NutrenaWorld.com.

Alison Eastman-Lawler has been an active part of the sport for 44 years—this past year was her toughest yet, as she battled breast cancer while running her two eventing facilities in Areas I and III, organizing countless schooling shows and clinics, and teaching close to a hundred students. But thanks to her close-knit barn family she’s heading into 2025 with a bright future.
This January the West Coast played host to the annual USEA Eventing Coaches Program (ECP) Symposium at the beautiful Galway Downs, in Temecula, California, and despite some chilly mornings, participants were treated to three days of interactive learning and sharing of knowledge in a safe space dedicated to the continuing education of eventing coaches from around the U.S. and Canada.
After nearly two decades of the Ravenscroft family and their team at Ride On Video focusing their cameras on horses and riders of all levels, the eventing community is putting the spotlight on all that Bob, Debi, and their daughter Tayler have meant to the sport as they close up shop.
