They are also a “Gold Sponsor of the USEA American Eventing Championships,” “Contributing Sponsor of the USEA Adult Team Championships,” “Bronze Sponsor of the USEA Classic Series,” “Contributing Sponsor of the USEA EA21 Program,” and “Contributing Sponsor of the USEA Annual Meeting and Convention.”

“We are excited to engage with USEA as the Official Shock Wave of their organization.

PulseVet, the leading shockwave brand on the market, is the only shockwave technology backed with over a decade of clinical research. Shockwave is a noninvasive, high-energy sound wave treatment commonly used in human and veterinary medicine. It has become a large part in both preventative and rehabilitative care for sport horses, including event horses. PulseVet’s products have been proven to help treat tendon and ligament injuries, bone fractures, foot injuries, among many others. PulseVet can be used in lieu of or in tandem with Zomedica’s other treatment systems.

“As a long-time member, I am thrilled to partner with the USEA and help educate all those who enjoy the sport of eventing,” Zomedica’s Senior Product Manager of Therapeutics, Courtney Calnan said. “Eventing requires our equine teammates to be an ultimate athlete. I’m excited for the members of USEA to learn how the PulseVet system can help our partners feel their best.”

“We are grateful to PulseVet to partnering with the USEA as its newest sponsor. Keeping our equine partners healthy and happy is a top priority, and we are thankful to have a brand committed to the same goals. Our event horses are a part of the family, and we are glad that PulseVet are focused on keeping them in top shape,” said USEA CEO Rob Burk.

Zomedica is a leading equine and companion animal healthcare company dedicated to improving animal health by providing veterinarians innovative therapeutic and diagnostic solutions. Their gold standard PulseVet shock wave system, which accelerates healing in musculoskeletal conditions, has transformed veterinary therapeutics. Their suite of products also includes the Assisi Loop line of therapeutic devices and the TRUFORMA diagnostic platform, the TRUVIEW digital cytology system, and the VetGuardian no-touch monitoring system, all designed to empower veterinarians to provide top-tier care.

In the aggregate, their total addressable market in the U.S. exceeds $2 billion. Headquartered in Michigan, Zomedica employs approximately 150 people and manufactures and distributes its products from its world-class facilities in Georgia and Minnesota. An NYSE American company, Zomedica grew revenue 33% in 2023 to $25 million and maintains a strong balance sheet with approximately $91 million in liquidity as of March 31, 2024.
