Ovation Returns to Sponsor AEC Cross-Country Pace Award
The USEA is pleased to announce that Ovation will be returning for the second year to be the sponsor of the Ovation Cross-Country Pace Award at the 2009 Bit of Britain/USEA American Eventing Championships.
The award is given to the horse and rider combination in the Training Amateur division who come the closest to the optimum time.
The winner of the Ovation Cross-Country Pace Award is decked out from top to bottom with an array of prizes donated by Ovation including an Ovation 4-Star Eventing saddle, an Ovation plain raised patted Eventing bridle, a pair of Ovation Microweave DX Optimum Stick Breeches, an Ovation Dri-lex polo shirt, Macwet gloves, and RSL Rotterdam Gloves.
Last year's Optimum Time Award went to the winner of the Training Amateur Division, Donna Miller and her Connemara stallion, ArdCeltic Art. The pair traveled all the way from their home in Alpharetta, Georgia to compete at the 2008 AEC and put in a very successful competition, returning home with a trailer full of prizes!

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.
