“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.
“We are thankful that Standlee has committed to return as the Official Forage of the USEA,” said USEA CEO Rob Burk. “Standlee Premium Products is an industry leader that provides the highest quality forage for our horses, and we are proud to have them as a corporate sponsor of the Association. 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.”
