SmartPak Equine/USEA Training Three-Day Winner Awarded Stackhouse Saddle

By USEA

At the close of each competition year, the winners of each of the eleven SmartPak Equine/USEA Training Three-Day events are entered into a drawing for the chance to win a custom, state-of-the-art saddle from our sponsor, Stackhouse Saddles. This year's winner is Kelsey Briggs, of Indian Land, South Carolina, who took home top honors at the first SmartPak Equine/USEA Training Three-Day Series of the year at the Florida Horse Park in Ocala aboard her Thoroughbred gelding The Gentleman Pirate.

Briggs, 21, was thrilled to learn about her new saddle and said, "Wow, this is so exciting! I do all my riding in my jumping saddle, so a new saddle is perfect!"

Congratulations to Briggs on her new Stackhouse saddle, and a special thank you to David Stackhouse and Leslie Gleave for their generous contribution to the SmartPak Equine/USEA Training Three-Day Series.

Colorado-based upper-level eventer Dani Sussman has been sourcing horses from Argentina since 2019 thanks to the help of her show jumping coach, Mariano Bedoya.
