Stackhouse Saddles First Sponsor of The Classic Preliminary Three-Day
The USEA is thrilled to announce that Stackhouse has signed on as sole Legacy Sponsor of the Classic Preliminary Three-day Series. The company is the first sponsor of this exciting new series. One Stackhouse Saddle will be presented to the winner of a drawing comprised of the winners of all the P3Ds annually.
The P3D is a Classic format three-day event, incorporating roads and tracks, steeplechase, and cross-country into four phases on speed and endurance day. Beginning in 2010 five events nationwide will run the P3D and will team up with the 12 events that run Smartpak Training 3-Day Events to form the USEA Classic Three-Day Event Series. All of these events will run as national competitions under a unique set of rules and specifications tailored to riders who are seeking the experience and education of the full-format three day event. The U.S. is the only country in the world still sanctioning Classic competitions.
Top riders across the country such as Karen O'Connor, Will Faudree, Holly Hepp, and Bobby Costello have all competed at the highest levels of the sport in Stackhouse saddles. Longtime sponsors of the USEA, Stackhouse offers saddles that can be tailored to each rider's requirements. Stackhouse also sponsors the Training Three-Day Event Series and the USEA/Spalding Labs Young Event Horse Series as well as the Adult Amateur Rider of the Year award.

Saddle Fit Simplified
Eventers who are new to the sport may feel a little overwhelmed by the often-misunderstood world of saddle fitting.

Finding a qualified expert to answer these questions is crucial. Who better to turn to than both a qualified Master Saddle Fitter and a fourth-generation saddle designer to answer some of these questions?
