The United States Eventing Association, Inc. (USEA) is delighted welcome 70° as an “Official Bronze Level Sponsor of the AEC” for 2023. 70° will be providing gift certificates for first through fifth place winners in all 24 divisions at the 2023 USEA American Eventing Championships, presented by Nutrena Feeds, this Aug. 29—Sept. 3 in Lexington, Kentucky. AEC competitors will also be able to shop their line of high-performance equestrian apparel at the 70° booth in the USEA Sponsor Village.
70° is committed to quality, innovation, performance and style just as riders are committed to their sport. 70° is an equestrian and sports apparel that brings unique designs and advanced fabrics to the show ring, golf course, tennis courts, and beyond. From uniquely designed UPF protective equestrian sunshirts to their approach to modernizing show shirts, 70° brings a new angle on style, performance, and comfort.
Envisioned as a perfect balance between elegance and functionality, each of 70°'s designed pieces offer all-day performance, keeping the wearer at the optimal temperature. Not so much a clothing line as a lifestyle, the 70°'s mantra of "Feel it, Live it" translates to a passion for an active way of living and sense of style.
“The USEA thanks 70° for their support of the 2023 USEA AEC,” said USEA CEO Rob Burk. “There’s nothing better than a 70° day, and this apparel company helps you channel that feeling regardless of the temperature. Make sure to stop by their booth at the AEC and thank them for their support of the USEA.’”

Eventers who are new to the sport may feel a little overwhelmed by the often-misunderstood world of saddle fitting. Riders are often bombarded with information from peers online or self-described experts, putting them at risk of following bad advice related to equipment that impacts horse welfare perhaps more than any other piece of tack. Finding a qualified expert to answer these questions is crucial. Who better to turn to than both a qualified Master Saddle Fitter and a fourth-generation saddle designer to answer some of these questions?
