Big News from Devoucoux Will Pay Off for USEA Members

By USEA

Leesburg, Va. - The United States Eventing Association (USEA) is announcing an exciting five-year partnership with Devoucoux.

The USEA has a history of careful evaluation of all potential sponsors and this new partnership is no different. Devoucoux will now become the Official Saddle of the USEA.

What does this mean for our members? Devoucoux is making a long-term financial commitment to the sport which translates into purse money and the ability of the USEA to keep Association services at a low rate. Devoucoux will also provide year-end awards, awards for competitors at the USEA American Eventing Championships, and additional prizes throughout the year.

“We carefully weighed our options in the selection of the Official Saddle of the Association,” said Jo Whitehouse, USEA CEO.

“We knew that the company needed to have a reputation as one of the best on the market, and we needed to be sure that they were willing to commit to the future of U.S. Eventing. We found that in Devoucoux, and I am excited for our future together.”

Founded in 1985, Devoucoux has become synonymous with quality, craftmanship and world leadership in high-end saddlery.

“It’s an honor and a long-term desire of ours to partner with the USEA,” said Devoucoux Inc. General Manager David Attal.

Alliston’s Busy Weekend, Braitling’s Reuniting with Five-Star Mount, & Kalkman’s Advanced Victory Highlight Twin Rivers Summer H.T.

As he was finishing tacking up his horse in preparation to navigate the cross-country course at the 2024 Twin Rivers Summer Horse Trials, James Alliston expressed concern about navigating the 101 Freeway. That’s because as soon as he crossed the finish line aboard Intermediate level winner Addyson (Ampere x Nickerbocker) at 10:38 a.m. on Saturday—his fifth cross-country round of the morning with three at Preliminary and two at Intermediate—the West Coast-based five-star rider had to drive 185 miles on the 101 Freeway from Twin Rivers Ranch in Paso Robles, California, to San Francisco International Airport to catch a 4:35 p.m. flight to Frankfurt, Germany.
