“Standlee is proud to continually support the USEA as their official forage. We look forward to a successful year," said Jessica Wright, Director of Marketing.
Standlee Premium Products is a family-operated business that has been cultivating, distributing, and marketing the highest quality of Western forages since 1981. The company provides a variety of forage types in a wide range of product formats, including pellets, cubes, chopped, and bales, which are available through their well-established network of retail partners and distributors.
At Standlee, cultivating the connection between customers and the animals they care for by providing value through support, education and premium products is the mission.

Forage is the largest and perhaps most critical part of our horses diet but that point is often forgotten. Thanks to Standlee we are supported in having the best and most complete horse care.”
