The USEA is delighted to be working with this fabulous company once again.”

"SmartPak is thrilled to announce our continued partnership with The United States Eventing Association,” said Colby Balazs, Vice President of Marketing at SmartPak. “Over the years, we have worked together to build a solid stable of programs to benefit eventing enthusiasts across the US and recognize exceptional achievements in the sport.
