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 2018 USEA Annual Meeting & Convention. This year’s Annual Meeting & Convention features the USEA’s 7th Eventing Hall of Fame and will take place at the Sheraton New Orleans Hotel in New Orleans, Louisiana, December 6-9, 2018.
“We are so excited to have Gallops Saddlery join us again this year! Diane Snow has been a strong supporter of Convention over the years,” said Jennifer Hardwick, Senior Director of Membership Services and the USEA Annual Meeting & Convention planner. “Thank you Gallops for continuing to support us – it means a lot.”
Gallops Saddlery has supported the USEA Annual Meeting & Convention for many years and continues to be a staple for eventers in the Northwest region of the United States. They have been expanding their market by providing tack, veterinary supplies, and fine gifts suited for all equestrians.
“Gallops Saddlery is pleased to support the USEA,” stated Diane Snow of Gallops Saddlery. “While focusing on eventers, Gallops also prides itself on being a full-service tack store. From custom helmets, boots, and more, we enjoy carrying the hard to find items that the discerning rider is after. Our mobile store travels all around the Northwest selling and sponsoring at most Area VII events. For personal assistance, call our toll free number (866) 893-0477 or visit our website at gallopssaddlery.com.”
