United States Eventing Association

The United States Eventing Association (USEA) is pleased to welcome Achieve Equine as an Official USEA Educational Partner for 2026. Through this partnership, Achieve Equine will support USEA members with educational content focused on equine respiratory health, while also serving as a Prize Level Sponsor of the USEA American Eventing Championships (AEC), Contributing Sponsor of the USEA Emerging Athlete U21 (EA21) Program, and Contributing Sponsor of the Young Event Horse (YEH) Program.

“As an organization dedicated to education and horsemanship, we are excited to partner with Achieve Equine,” said USEA CEO Rob Burk. “Their commitment to equine health and performance aligns closely with USEA’s mission to provide educational resources that benefit our members and their horses at every level of the sport.”

Achieve Equine was founded on the work of equine veterinarians Jim Chiapetta and Ed Blach, who began developing FLAIR Strips in the mid-1990s after observing airflow restrictions in horses caused by partial collapse of the nasal passages. Drawing on principles of airflow dynamics they designed and tested an external solution to support equine nasal function. More than 25 years later, their original research-driven concept has been validated through extensive university and private clinical studies, helping advance understanding of equine respiratory health and performance.

“We’re excited to increase the scope of our partnership with USEA,” said Chiapetta, CEO of Achieve Equine. “Eventing places unique demands on the equine athlete, and our approach is rooted in science-based solutions that support equine performance and health. Equally important is investing in rider education and development. By supporting rising athletes with proven tools and meaningful education, we look forward to working with USEA to build healthier, stronger athletes capable of progressing confidently through the levels.”

Through this partnership, USEA and Achieve Equine strive to work together to deliver educational resources promoting equine health to eventers and their horses at every level of the sport.
