The United States Eventing Association (USEA) is pleased to welcome back FITS Riding, LTD as a sponsor of the USEA. As a longtime supporter, FITS has provided sponsorship to several programs. As a Bronze Level sponsor of the 2017 Nutrena American Eventing Championships, FITS will provide prizes for competitors at the AEC which will be held August 30- September 3, 2017 at the Tryon International Equestrian Center in Mill Spring, North Carolina. In addition, FITS is a Contributing Level sponsor of the Adult Team Championship and the USEA Gold Cup Series.
“We at FITS love getting to be a part of the great group of USEA sponsors,” said Lida Allenby of FITS. “Our products are very well suited for eventers and we are excited about getting our breeches into the hands of more top quality riders.”
FITS is 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.

Let the fun and games begin! This morning kicks off the official start of competition at the 2024 Defender Kentucky Three-Day Event (K3DE). The hefty four-star field is the first to set foot in the Rolex Stadium starting at 8:00 a.m. Last year we saw 49 four-star pairs in this division, but this year there are 63 pairs in the field.
Thirty-five five-star horses presented today under sunny skies at the Defender Kentucky Three-Day Event.
If all goes according to plan in the first part of the extended weekend, we will see 36 horses galloping across Derek di Grazia's CCI5*-L cross-country course at the 2024 Defender Kentucky Three-Day Event (DK3DE). We partnered up with the team at CrossCountry App to bring you a preview of both the five-star and CCI4*-s tracks this year.
Lights, cameras, action! The first formal horse inspection (which some might informally refer to as "the jog") at the 2024 Defender Kentucky Three-Day Event (K3DE) takes place this afternoon at the Kentucky Horse Park in Lexington, Kentucky. While this part of the event is a fan-favorite historically based on the impeccable turnout of the horses and the stylish and forward fashion choices of the riders (we are looking at you Boyd Martin in hopes that you bring back the American flag suit circa 2022), it serves a very important purpose: ensuring that each horse is fit, sound, and ready to compete at the five-star level.
