Longtime Supporter Auburn Laboratories Renews Partnership for the 2020 AEC

By Claire Kelley - USEA Staff

The United States Eventing Association (USEA) is thrilled to announce the renewed partnership with Auburn Laboratories, Inc. As a Silver Level Sponsor of the 2020 USEA American Eventing Championships presented by Nutrena Feeds (AEC), Auburn Laboratories will provide the top three finishers in every AEC division one 12-ounce bottle of APF. This year’s AEC will be held August 25-30 at the Kentucky Horse Park in Lexington, Kentucky.

Beginning in 1993, Dr. Michael Van Noy and his wife, Joy Van Noy, used adaptogenic herbal formulas to improve not only their own health and well-being, but also that of the horses in Dr. Van Noy’s San Francisco Bay Area veterinary practice. The initial formula they introduced to the equine supplement market in 1999 was APF – Advanced Protection Formula. Developed to provide general support and overall stress protection, it is still the first choice for many owners whose horses require metabolic and immune support for the effects of insulin resistance and Cushing's disease. APF Pro was introduced to address the specific issues facing the top equine athletes – immune support, gastric health, muscle building, energy, endurance, and recovery.

As part of their commitment to provide customers with exceptional herbal products with repeatable and reliable health benefits, they have identified several laboratories that specialize in quantitative analysis of botanical ingredients utilizing high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). By using state-of-the-art laboratory analysis of key botanical markers, they are able to consistently deliver products with reliable health benefits for animals.

“Auburn Laboratories has been a core supporter of U.S. Eventing for many years, and we are extremely proud to continue the partnership for this year’s AEC,” said USEA CEO Rob Burk. “This is a wonderful company, that’s committed to the welfare of our event horses. Please support this company which does so much to benefit the health of our event horses.”

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.

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.
