The United States Eventing Association (USEA) is pleased to announce that long-term sponsor Stackhouse Saddles will once again be supporting the USEA and the Nutrena USEA American Eventing Championships (AEC) as well as the Classic Series of three-day events. Master craftsmen, David Stackhouse and Lesley Ellis of Stackhouse Saddle Makers, will personally be on-hand at the AEC, September 26-29 to present a custom-made saddle to the 2013 Junior Training Champion and to the 2013 Junior/Young Rider Preliminary Champion.
The United States Eventing Association, Inc. (USEA) gladly welcomes back longtime partner D.G. Stackhouse & Ellis as an “Official Bronze Sponsor of the 2023 USEA American Eventing Championships” and an “Official Bronze Sponsor of the USEA Classic Series Training Level Three-Day.” As part of their partnership, D.G. Stackhouse & Ellis will provide two saddles for the winners of the 2023 Novice and Training Level Three-Day Program drawings at the 2023 USEA Annual Meeting & Convention and gift certificates for custom belts as prizes for the AEC. The 2023 USEA AEC, presented by Nutrena Feeds, will take place at the Kentucky Horse Park in Lexington, Kentucky, on Aug. 29 through Sept. 3.
Out of each of the four winners of classic Preliminary three-day events in 2009, one winner was chosen at random to receive a Stackhouse saddle. This year's recipient of this prestigious prize went to Elisa Wallace, 27, of Alpharetta, Georgia.
At the close of each competition year, the winners of each of the eleven SmartPak Equine/USEA Training Three-Day events are entered into a drawing for the chance to win a custom, state-of-the-art saddle from our sponsor, Stackhouse Saddles. This year's winner is Kelsey Briggs, of Indian Land, South Carolina, who took home top honors at the first SmartPak Equine/USEA Training Three-Day Series of the year at the Florida Horse Park in Ocala aboard her Thoroughbred gelding The Gentleman Pirate.
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.
