Fleeceworks Returns as USEA Sponsor
The USEA is proud to announce the continued support of Fleeceworks as a Gold sponsor of the American Eventing Championships, the Presenting Sponsor of the Young Event Horse series, and a Silver sponsor of the Classic Three-Day Series. We are extremely grateful to Fleeceworks for their generosity and longstanding support of the USEA.
Fleeceworks sponsorship of the AEC since their inception nine years ago is a testament to the company’s commitment to the USEA and the Eventing community across the country. In addition, Fleeceworks’ support of the YEH is a natural partnership because of the shared goal to produce the best and cultivate quality in the sport of Eventing. The YEH mission is to showcase the utmost in Event horse talent and it is Fleeceworks’ mission to produce the highest quality products that provide comfort, care and protection for horse and rider.
As a former One-Star rider, Judy McSwain, one of the original founder’s and now the sole owner of Fleeceworks, also wanted to support the Classic Three-Day Series. “I have been involved in the sport of Eventing as a competitor, horse owner and rider sponsor for over 20 years and remain as committed to and enthusiastic about the sport today as the first time I entered the start box. The Classic Three-Day Series provides great education for riders as well as preserving the roots of our sport.”
In addition to providing many of their great products for prizes, Fleeceworks is also sponsoring completion ribbons for all those entered in the Training Three-Day . “I understand how much work goes into just completing a full format” said Judy McSwain, “and I feel that each rider should be rewarded for their efforts regardless of where they place.”
Fleeceworks is the manufacturer of the world’s finest Australian Merino Sheepskin equestrian products. Their pads provide a vital thermal balancing layer without excess bulk to distort contact or saddle fit. Aussie Merino is breathable, extracting heat and moisture off the body, and hydrophilic, able to store 35% of its own weight in liquid. This fact coupled with Fleeceworks patented design technology results in a pad that helps to keep the equine athlete at the top of their game by allowing their back muscles to work at maximum capacity without risk of overheating. Fleeceworks uses an unparalleled, hand selection quality control process to ensure that each pad is superior in fit, comfort, support and thermal protection. Visit the Fleeceworks website to learn more about their products.

The course ends with a final treat for riders to take in stunning views of Mt. Hood with a loop through the old Far Hill Farms field.

Competitions
Alliston’s Busy Weekend, Braitling’s Reuniting with Five-Star Mount, & Kalkman’s Advanced Victory Highlight Twin Rivers Summer H.T.
As he was finishing tacking up his horse in preparation to navigate the cross-country course at the 2024 Twin Rivers Summer Horse Trials, James Alliston expressed concern about navigating the 101 Freeway. That’s because as soon as he crossed the finish line aboard Intermediate level winner Addyson (Ampere x Nickerbocker) at 10:38 a.m. on Saturday—his fifth cross-country round of the morning with three at Preliminary and two at Intermediate—the West Coast-based five-star rider had to drive 185 miles on the 101 Freeway from Twin Rivers Ranch in Paso Robles, California, to San Francisco International Airport to catch a 4:35 p.m. flight to Frankfurt, Germany.
