D.G. Stackhouse & Ellis to Return as USEA Partners for 2024

The United States Eventing Association (USEA) is thrilled to announce D.G. Stackhouse & Ellis’ return as a “Bronze Sponsor of the USEA American Eventing Championships (AEC),” and a “Bronze Sponsor of the Classic Three-Day Series."

They will also provide one D.G. Stackhouse & Ellis saddle to the 2024 Novice Level Three-Day program drawing winner and one saddle for the 2024 Training Level Three-Day program drawing winner at the 2024 USEA Annual Meeting & Convention in Seattle, Washington.

D.G. Stackhouse & Ellis will also provide 26 custom belts as prizes for division champions at the 2024 USEA American Eventing Championships presented by Nutrena Feeds.

David Stackhouse and Lesley Ellis build custom saddles from scratch at their workshop in Pinehurst, North Carolina. Each saddle is individually fitted to both the horse and rider for optimum fit. The finest of leathers are used to make beautiful saddles for dressage, jumping, and eventing. Quality, comfort, and fit are all taken into consideration during construction with the aim of perfect balance.

“We are very thankful for our longstanding partnership with D.G. Stackhouse & Ellis. Each Stackhouse saddle is a true work of art that will stand the test of time. David and Lesley are masters of their trade and create a beautiful product. Make sure and visit them at the AEC this fall and sit in some saddles,” said USEA CEO Rob Burk.
