By Rebecca Lertora - USEA Staff

The United States Eventing Association (USEA) is excited to announce their new partnership with Nelson Manufacturing Company. As a Contributing Level Sponsor for this year’s USEA American Eventing Championships (AEC), Nelson Manufacturing is generously awarding a watering system as a prize for the 2017 AEC. The AEC will be held August 30- September 3, 2017 at the Tryon International Equestrian Center in Mill Spring, North Carolina.

“We at Nelson Manufacturing are excited to be partnering with the USEA for the American Eventing Championships,” said Tom Dowd of Nelson Manufacturing. “We are proud to be part of this great show and look forward to seeing you in August.”

Nelson Manufacturing Company specializes in the design and manufacturing of all-season automatic livestock waterers, automatic horse waterers and water bucket heaters. The watering systems are made in the USA in Cedar Rapids, Iowa and are available for stalls and pastures. The all-season, automatic watering system features stainless steel design, an easy-to-clean removable drinking bowl and optional water consumption monitors.

“We are excited to have Nelson Manufacturing Company join us as a new sponsor of the Association and specifically the American Eventing Championships,” said USEA CEO Rob Burk. “The quality of their products is perfectly in line with the standards of the USEA and our members. We encourage our members to consider Nelson first when looking for automatic feeding and watering systems.”

The 2024 K3DE Daily: First Horse Inspection

Lights, cameras, action! The first formal horse inspection (which some might informally refer to as "the jog") at the 2024 Defender Kentucky Three-Day Event (K3DE) takes place this afternoon at the Kentucky Horse Park in Lexington, Kentucky. While this part of the event is a fan-favorite historically based on the impeccable turnout of the horses and the stylish and forward fashion choices of the riders (we are looking at you Boyd Martin in hopes that you bring back the American flag suit circa 2022), it serves a very important purpose: ensuring that each horse is fit, sound, and ready to compete at the five-star level.
