SmartPak Equine Returns As Sponsor Of The USEA
The USEA is happy to announce that SmartPak TM Equine will be returning as the Official Supplement Feeding System of the USEA. In addition SmartPak will be continuing their role as the title sponsor of the SmartPak Equine/USEA Classic Series as well as the official sponsor of the Horse of the Year on the USEA leaderboard.
SmartPak is also contributing this year to the success of the USEA’s award winning publication, Eventing USA, by continuing to be the sponsor of both the Horse Health column and Jan Byyny’s photo critique column.
SmartPak’s support does not stop there – the company will be providing a plethora of prizes for winners of USEA programs. SmartPak’s exclusive Wellfleet Halters and engraved leather lead shanks will be awarded to the winners of all the divisions at the Nutrena/USEA American Eventing Championships and winners of the SmartPak/USEA Training Three-Days. The winners of the Adequan USEA Gold Cup Series and SmartPak/USEA Preliminary Three-Days will get a chance to earn beautiful Wellfleet Eventer Bridles (another SmartPak exclusive), as well as embroidered bridle bags. The SmartPak/USEA Horse of the Year along with the winners of the Classic Series drawings will earn this year’s supply of supplements in SmartPaks and an embroidered SmartPak Storage Bag.
“We are happy to be continuing our partnership with the USEA,” said Colby Balazs, Vice President of Marketing at SmartPak. “As competitive riders ourselves, including a number of eventers, we know that solid nutritional support is key for the competitive event horse. That’s why we’re proud that SmartPaks are the Official Supplement Feeding System of the USEA. Once again, we’re excited to sponsor the USEA Horse of the Year award as a celebration of outstanding equine health, athleticism and performance. We’re also pleased to be providing our SmartPak exclusive Wellfleet halters and event bridles as awards at the Classic Series, Gold Cup Series and American Eventing Championships. We wish all of the competitors a safe and successful season.”
SmartPak is an integral part of the USEA’s sponsor family and the USEA is excited to continue and extend our partnership with them. “The USEA loves being able to reward our members for their accomplishments,” said USEA CEO, Jo Whitehouse. “SmartPak’s extensive partnership has allowed us to give back to our members and for that we are so thankful. The USEA is delighted to be working with this fabulous company once again.”

The 2024 DK3DE 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 (DK3DE) 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.
