Mountain Horse will once again be joining the United States Eventing Association’s family of sponsors for 2010. For the past several years Mountain Horse and the USEA have partnered to sell Mountain Horse apparel proudly displaying the USEA logo.
“The Mountain Horse products have been incredibly popular with our members,” said Jennifer Hardwick, USEA Meeting/Event Planner and Retail Sales. “The quality and workmanship is exceptional and the USEA is proud to be able to offer the Mountain Horse line of jackets, vests, shirts, and accessories to our members.”
Michael Diamond, Vice President of Sales and Marketing for English Riding Supply, added “If we had to choose the ideal customer that reflects the core values of Mountain Horse it would be the Eventer. Mountain Horse is designed in Sweden for outdoor performance in all types of weather conditions. From the coldest wet and rainy days to hot sunny skies above, every day that challenges the riders endurance and performance is another "Mountain Horse kind of a day"
“Mountain Horse sponsors and supports the eventing community,” Diamond continued. “Because they are just our kind of people. Smart, dedicated horse people that place a high demand on performance and value.”
Mountain Horse products with the USEA logo are available to purchase on the USEA Webstore. The Mountain Horse apparel are also available at the USEA booths at Rolex Kentucky CCI4*, the USEA American Eventing Championships, and the USEA Annual Meeting and Convention.

The horses in trainer Joe Davis’ barn at Horseshoe Indianapolis don’t just get standard hay in their nets each day. Throughout the afternoon, Davis or one of his employees opens the HayGain machine that sits at the end of his shed row and pulls out a warm, beautiful-smelling bale of freshly-steamed hay to fill their nets.
