Nunn Finer Continues as the Title Sponsor of the 2023 USEA Leaderboard
The United States Eventing Association, Inc. (USEA) is thrilled to announce Nunn Finer’s return as the Official “Title Sponsor of the USEA Leaderboard.” The winners of the Nunn Finer USEA year-end leaderboards will be celebrated during the 2023 USEA Annual Meeting and Convention on December 6-10 at the Marriott St. Louis Grand Hotel in St. Louis, Missouri.
Nunn Finer started in 1993 manufacturing racing equipment for the American Thoroughbred racing industry, but it didn’t take long before other equine disciplines recognized the superior quality of the company’s products. Once leather goods and equipment request started pouring in from other disciplines, President John Nunn shifted the company’s efforts to curating a wide range of equipment for disciplines like eventing, dressage, foxhunting, hunters, and show jumping as well.
Today, Nunn Finer offers more than 25 bridle styles, most being made from fine Italian leather, along with matching martingales, breastplates, and stirrup leathers. The company also stocks a wide array of equine boots for training and competition, the largest supply of studs and caulks in the country and is the only manufacturer of the revolutionary self-cleaning stud. At Nunn Finer, they are dedicated to discovering and developing innovative products that help improve the life of all horse people, professional and amateur alike.
“The USEA is thrilled that Nunn Finer is maintaining their longtime support of the Association in 2023,” said USEA CEO Rob Burk. “John Nunn is an eventer himself and has taken his lifetime of expertise in the sport and manufacturing to ensure that all of Nunn Finer’s products are what our members need at a reasonable price. We are grateful to work with a company that provides the highest-quality products to our community.”
