The USEA welcomes ECOGOLD as the newest sponsor of the 2010 USEA Annual Meeting and Convention.
“We’re very excited to sponsor the USEA 2010 Convention,” said Patricia Da Silva, Ecogold’s VP Marketing. “The eventing community has really embraced our products and offered a tremendous level of support so it’s a real pleasure to give back.”
ECOGOLD makes innovative high-performance saddle pads and horse boots, which are 100% breathable, non-slip, neoprene-free and offer the best protection and comfort for your horse. Already the number one choice of top riders Phillip Dutton, Karen O’Connor, Boyd Martin, Buck Davidson for its saddle pads, ECOGOLD has recently developed Cross-Country Boots which provide lightweight, cool, flexible protection.
Four-star eventing competitor Boyd Martin, who is short-listed for the US Eventing Team at the Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games with two horses said, “When you’re galloping cross-country, going long distances and through water, you need a lightweight boot that doesn’t heat the legs or labor them with extra weight. Sooner or later your horse’s legs are bound to smash into a jump and that’s when you need the best defense you can get against injury. The Ecogold cross-country boot offers the most protection a boot can give when jumping fixed obstacles at high speed.”
Ecogold is comprised of a team of experts in the field of textile engineering with more than 40 years experience in high-performance materials. All Ecogold products are made in a company-owned factory in Montreal, Quebec to ensure the best quality materials and workmanship.
