Aurora, OH (March 2, 2009)--Freedom Health, LLC, is proud to announce the winners of the 2008 United States Eventing Association (USEA) Area 8 SUCCEED® Challenge Series. This incentive program was open to USEA Area 8 members competing in USEA Sanctioned Horse Trials who use SUCCEED® Digestive Conditioning Program (DCP) to foster optimum digestive health in their horses-thus supporting overall well-being and performance.
At the USEA Area 8 Annual Awards Dinner in Columbus, OH, Lowelle Messner, Mike Winter, Leah Snowden and Kate Fitzgerald were recognized respectively as the winners in the following divisions: Beginner Novice, Novice, Training and Preliminary in the SUCCEED Challenge Series. Each of the division winners took home a check for $500 along with a case of SUCCEED, and Devon-Aire product. Second place finishers in each of the divisions took home a 60-day supply of SUCCEED, while third place finishers received a 30-day supply of SUCCEED.
"We wanted to develop a program that both rewards current SUCCEED DCP consumers and encourages new users to experience the benefits of the product," said Patrick Warczak, Vice President - Marketing at Freedom Health. "A competitive incentive program is a natural fit for SUCCEED DCP, which supports the overall health and well-being of the performance horse."
SUCCEED DCP is scientifically formulated to support the health and structure of the equine digestive system - the fuel line that powers every other system in the horse's body. The strenuous phases of a three-day event competition - dressage, cross country and show jumping - require a horse to be in peak physical and mental condition to perform at its best. A horse that may be affected by digestive issues may not be able to jump as freely or collect and extend as easily. By fostering a healthy digestive tract with SUCCEED DCP, owners and riders may see improvements in other aspects of overall well-being and performance, such as behavior, trainability and overall performance ability.
SUCCEED DCP was named "Official Digestive Conditioning Product" of the United States Equestrian Federation (USEF) and the United States Eventing Association (USEA) in 2008. The product was used extensively by United States Equestrian Team members on their horses in preparation for the 2008 games in Hong Kong.
The SUCCEED(R) Challenge Series may be extended to eventing and dressage organizations around the country. Show and organization secretaries may contact Lyndsey White at [email protected] for more information.

In this excerpt, trainer and educator Anne Buchannan explains bit contact connection and why it matters for true collection and healthy movement.
Familiarizing yourself with the key players at each horse trial is an important step to your success at your next competition. One of those important figures is the show secretary. Think of the show secretary as the mastermind behind most of the organizational efforts related to each horse trial. They manage entries, the show schedule, ride times, stabling, and so much more. Without the hard work of the show secretary and their office staff, a horse trial simply would not be able to operate.
The USEA Foundation is pleased to announce a new initiative, the Janet Briggs Fund for the Continuing Education of Licensed Officials. Established in memory of Janet Briggs, this fund honors her lifelong dedication to the sport of eventing by supporting the ongoing education and development of eventing licensed officials.
