The USEA is delighted to welcome back Fun In The Saddle “FITS” as a sponsor for 2013. FITS will be sponsoring the Nutrena USEA American Eventing Championships for the fourth year, and in addition the company will be sponsoring the Adequan USEA Gold Cup for the first time.
Winners of each of the 11 Adequan USEA Gold Cup qualifying events will take home a pair of FITS PerforMAX breeches. Competitors in every division at the Nutrena USEA American Eventing Championships will also have a chance to win a pair of coveted FITS breeches. This year’s AEC will be held at the Texas Rose Horse Park in Tyler, TX from September 26-29.
“FITS is excited to be supporting the USEA in 2013 as sponsors of the AEC and the Gold Cup series,” said Sheryl Rudolph of Fun In The Saddle. “Event riders were among the very first to recognize the performance advantage that FITS brings to the rider via our technically superior riding wear. We are excited to pay it forward with these sponsorships. GOOD RIDING!”
FITS is an Oregon based company dedicated to the art and science of riding apparel. Known for its PerforMAX™ leather technology, FITS riding wear is the first and only choice for thousands of equestrian athletes. FITS offers a several styles of distinctive breeches, tech shirts, and stock ties, in a wide variety of colors and styles to suit nearly anyone’s fancy.
The unique and comfortable design of FITS breeches makes them one of the top choices for eventers. The segmented leather panels on the seat allow for maximum range of motion without restriction. This enables riders to spread their seat bones for a deeper, more secure position in the saddle. Soft, supple deerskin with tiny perforations creates more surface resistance against the saddle, giving much better grip than flat or imitation leather or suede. The holes also increase stretch capacity and freedom of motion, and allow for significantly better leather breathability than any breech on the market today.

The Olympic gold medallists Tom McEwen and JL Dublin lit up the arena at the MARS Badminton Horse Trials with a stunning performance and took the lead after the first day of dressage with the excellent mark of 22.4. They have almost five penalties over second-placed Emily King and Valmy Biats on 27.3.
At some point in your riding career, you probably found yourself feeling or dealing with a little fear, failure, or frustration. We’ve all been there. Regardless of whether we’re competitive or recreational, we’ve likely found ourselves getting a bit stuck on stress or a struggle; dealing with a little defeat or disappointment, or feeling overwhelmed or underprepared.
We might still be recovering physically from the excitement of the 2025 USEA Intercollegiate & Interscholastic Eventing Championships, but mentally we keep playing the weekend over and over again in our heads. This is a weekend that many eventers and lovers of the sport all over the country (ourselves included) look forward to each year and this year was no exception. From teams getting to experience their first time ever at the championship to mascots swapping gear in a show of camaraderie, there were so many great moments that took place during this year's end-of-the-school-year event. Take a look at some of our favorite moments from the three day competition below!
