The United States Eventing Association (USEA) is pleased to welcome back longtime supporter Gallops Saddlery, headquartered in Tigard, Oregon, as a Contributing Level Sponsor of the 2017 USEA Annual Meeting and Convention. This year’s convention will take place at the Westin Long Beach Hotel in Long Beach, California, December 6-10, 2017.
"Gallops is a longtime supporter of eventing”, said Diane Snow of Gallops Saddlery. “Our mobile store sells at most of the Area VII events where we have a very devoted following. It makes sense to give back and to support the USEA."
Gallops Saddlery carries tack, clothing, veterinary, barn, and gift items for equestrians, with a focus on eventing, hunter/jumper, and dressage. Their mobile unit visits horse shows and events throughout the Northwest. Whether you’re looking for fun or functional, basic or blingy, Gallops has what you and your horse need.
“We are excited to see our partnership with Gallops Saddlery continue,” said USEA CEO Rob Burk. “The founding partners of Gallops Saddlery, Diane Snow and Patty Cameron, are lifelong eventers themselves and know what our members are looking for. Not only that, but they constantly give back to the sport through volunteerism. We are lucky to have them as partners.”

When Debra Ladley first noticed her 18-year-old retired hunter gelding, Jack, was experiencing sudden lameness, she thought what most horse owners do; that there was a hoof abscess brewing.
With 2025 just days away, we thought it would be fun to take a look back at some of the top moments for the USEA across the 2024 season. Take a trip down memory lane with us and relive these high-performing moments from our online news, the USEA Podcast, and our Instagram account!
Eventers who are new to the sport may feel a little overwhelmed by the often-misunderstood world of saddle fitting. Riders are often bombarded with information from peers online or self-described experts, putting them at risk of following bad advice related to equipment that impacts horse welfare perhaps more than any other piece of tack. Finding a qualified expert to answer these questions is crucial. Who better to turn to than both a qualified Master Saddle Fitter and a fourth-generation saddle designer to answer some of these questions?
Did you know that the USEA Foundation awards over 150 grants each year to deserving individuals who are involved in the sport of eventing? With grants that assist riders with accomplishing their competition goals, grants geared toward licensed officials, grants that are specific to continuing education for coaches, grants that assist competitions with obtaining frangible technology, and so much more, there really is a grant opportunity available to almost anyone!
