United States Eventing Association

The 2015 Nutrena USEA American Eventing Championships presented by VTO Saddlery are just a few short days away at the Texas Rose Horse Park. Boasting over $250,000 in cash and prizes, the competition will also include the $40,000 Adequan USEA Gold Cup Final and the USEA Adult Team Championship September 24-27, 2015.

The USEA guarantees great food and entertainment at the Event this year with enhanced catering menus, exciting live music and party entertainment and a Texas style beer garden.

Wednesday night, the USEA will be hosting the welcome party with food, fun, and live entertainment starting at 6:00 pm in the indoor trade fair arena. To kick-off the party in the arena adjacent to the indoor trade fair, Four Winds Renaissance Faire will be in attendance for an exciting live jousting event! Get there early for prime viewing, as this is sure to be a show you don’t want to miss! Shortly after, Dallas, Texas-based country artist Colin Boyd will be performing live on stage at the welcome party and Fatt Apple catering has returned with a delicious menu for all competitors and guests to enjoy. Make sure you get your party tickets here.

On Thursday night, AEC Presenting Sponsor VTO Saddlery will host the Junior/Young Rider Pizza Party outside their booth. There will be music, pizza, and fun door prizes for all the Junior and Young Riders in attendance, with a couple surprises in store!

Last year’s Saturday night competitor’s party went down in history as one of the best to date, and this year’s will be just as great. The competitor’s dinner starts in the indoor arena at 6:00 pm with the Adequan USEA Gold Cup Awards Presentation at 7:00 pm. This year’s competitor’s party will feature live music by the Luke Robinson Band, so bring your dancing shoes! Did we mention you’ll need your cowboy boots too? The mechanical bull riding contest returns to the competitor’s party this year, so grab a team of three for a chance to win these AEC Bull Riding Champion belt buckles. Teams must register before 5:30 pm on Saturday and entry forms will be available at the show office.
