The United States Eventing Association (USEA) is pleased to announce their continued Corporate Sponsor partnership with Standlee Premium Western Forage®, the “Official Forage of the USEA.” Standlee® Forage will remain a Gold Level Sponsor of the 2019 USEA American Eventing Championships as well as a Contributing Sponsor of the USEA Gold Cup Series, Future Event Horse Series and Young Event Horse Series.

“Standlee Premium Western Forage® is proud to be the official forage of the USEA. Standlee’s long-standing passion and commitment to producing and manufacturing the highest quality, natural forage products available, positions the company as the industry leader,” said Jessica Wright, Standlee Marketing Program Manager.

For over 30 years, Standlee has produced the highest quality forage products available. Standlee Premium Western Forage® products are available in alfalfa, alfalfa blends, orchard grass, and timothy grass and come in different formats including bales (compressed bales, compressed and shrink-wrapped Grab & Go® bales), cubes, pellets, chopped, shreds and treats.

“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.”
