Priefert Joins the USEA as Presenting Sponsor of the Future Event Horse Series

By USEA | August 28, 2015

The United States Eventing Association (USEA) is thrilled to announce their new partnership with Priefert, one of the most prestigious farm equipment manufacturers in the world. Priefert has signed on as the Presenting Sponsor of the Future Event Horse (FEH) Series and Championships and is showing their support by donating a top quality, safely constructed jump chute arena to be used for free-jumping. In addition, Priefert is now a Platinum Level Sponsor of the USEA American Eventing Championships as well as a Silver Level Sponsor of the Young Event Horse (YEH) Series and Championships.

“Priefert is honored to partner with the USEA as a sponsor, specifically as the Presenting Sponsor of the Future Event Horse Program,” stated Courtney Dyer, Assistant Director of Sales and Marketing at Priefert. “Our equipment is chosen by industry leaders time and time again for its ruggedness, reliability, and innovative features. Designed with both the animal and operator in mind, our equipment is unmatched in its safety and dependability, so we are thrilled to have the chance to share that reputation of quality with the members of the USEA.”

USEA COO Rob Burk explains, “The USEA Future Event Horse Program recently introduced an evaluation of jumping potential into its Championships. We needed to find a company that could produce the safest, and most reliable fencing systems for our own use. We quickly realized that the industry leader is Priefert and we recommend their products to all of our members. It is an honor to have Priefert join us in supporting U.S. Eventing.”

The custom jump chute structure Priefert has built will be used primarily for the Future Event Horse Series in the process of safely introducing three-year-olds to free jumping. The panel system will be sent to the West Coast in hopes of running a jump chute demo for young horses and eventually adopting the system into the FEH West Coast Championships.
