“The USEA is incredibly lucky to have the partnership of Standlee Premium Western Forage,” said USEA CEO Rob Burk. “Consistent quality is the first thing that comes to mind when I think of Standlee products. They understand that forage is the most important part of a horse’s diet. Some horse owners forget that fact, but eventers that understand good horsemanship feed Standlee to ensure that their horses are receiving proper nutrition for whatever their pursuits.”
