This is what eventing is about. Eventing is a great sport that builds a partnership between horse and rider that is unique in equestrian sports," said Joy Van Noy, co-founder of Auburn Labs.

“The USEA would like to thank Auburn Labs for their continued support of both the USEA and the AEC,” said USEA CEO,Rob Burk. “APF is widely used by our members for their horse’s wellness, and we greatly appreciate all they do for our sport!”
