The USEA is excited to announce that Five Star Tack returning as a sponsor of the SmartPak Equine/USEA Training Level Three-Day Series. “We are pleased to award one of our beautiful Five Star bridles to the winner of each event as well as awarding one of our new halters to the winner of the new Five Star Tack Horsemanship award at each event. As many of the competitors in this Series are amateur riders juggling careers and family, we applaud their commitment to the training and education process that preparing and competing in a three day event entails.”, said Jamie Greene, owner of Five Star Tack.
Five Star Tack designs beautiful bridles and strap goods known for their detailed stitching and top quality English Sedgwick leather. Five Star Tack is a small company that has quickly become known as the source for distinctive top performing tack. Worn by horses ridden by Doug Payne and Kristin Schmolze, the bridles are tough enough to withstand the demands of eventing while maintaining their good looks. They are a company whose success has come largely through word of mouth, which is a testament to the quality of the products.
Through its “bridles with benefits” program, Five Star Tack donates a percentage of profits to charities engaged in the battle against cancer. They are about to begin a new program that will benefit rehoming and retraining programs such as those run by Canter USA. Customers will be able to send in bridles they no longer use and receive 10% off a future purchase. The bridles will be collected and sent to registered organizations who have a need for tack.

The 2025 USEA Intercollegiate & Interscholastic Eventing Championships were an incredible success, ushering the programs forward as the first standalone championships knock on the door for 2026. The Intercollegiate and IEL Programs were merged for their year-end championships to ensure that the USEA’s junior and young adult members have a goal to continue to pursue their passion for eventing throughout their educational years and beyond, and the support the event has received in the last two years has been astounding.
A pre-purchase examination (PPE) is big part of investing in a new eventing partner, but there are so many options and add-ons that can be done in a PPE that the process can feel a bit daunting.
