Nutrena/USEA American Eventing Championships 100 Day Countdown
Only 100 days remain until the start of the 2011 Nutrena/USEA American Eventing Championships Presented By Bit of Britain! On September 7-11 hundreds of horses and riders from across the U.S. will gather at Chattahoochee Hills in Fairburn, Georgia to take part in the only national eventing championships in the country.
The AEC is truly the festival of eventing and in 2011 the USEA is offering competitors the chance to wind down at amazing parties, shop til’ their heart’s content in the vendor village, be intrigued at a Nutrena dog retriever demonstration, and just experience the remarkable camaraderie of 500+ eventers gathered together.
The USEA has already secured a bevy of cash and prizes for this year. Merial is returning once again as the sponsor of the Advanced class securing a $20,000 cash prize distributed among the winners of that division. In addition, the Advanced division is an Adequan USEA Gold Cup Class which gives riders bonus points toward earning the year-end Gold Cup Champion Title and $20,000 check.
Winners of all of the 14 divisions will have a chance to take home a chunk of prize money and exciting prizes such as Amerigo Saddles, Mattes Pads, Vespucci Bridles, Equilibrium Boots, SmartPak Equine Wellfleet Halters and Leadshanks, Auburn Labs Products, Chronicle of the Horse Subscriptions, Bit of Britain Gift Certificates, FITS breeches, VTO Saddlery Gift Certificates and Products, Adequan, Flair nasal strips, SUCCEED, Charles Owen Helmets, Nutrena Gift Certificates, Saratoga Horseworks Coolers, HoofWraps, SSG Gloves, and much more!
