The 2018 USEA Annual Meeting & Convention featuring the 7th USEA’s Eventing Hall of Fame has been a fun-filled, productive week, and none of it would have been possible without the support of the many loyal sponsors of the USEA. Thanks to their generous support, the Convention was a roaring success in “The Big Easy” and the USEA was able to provide great food and entertainment, wonderful meetings and seminars, cash and prizes for year end leaderboard winners, and a fabulous ceremony to honor the six new Eventing Hall of Fame inductees.

The United States Eventing Association (USEA) would first like to thank its Corporate Level Sponsors, who dedicate their time and resources to the USEA programs, events, and membership year-round, helping the sport of eventing thrive in the United States. Special appreciation to Adequan “The Official Joint Therapy Treatment of the USEA,” Devoucoux “The Official Saddle of the USEA,” Standlee Premium Western Forage “The Official Forage of the USEA,” Nutrena “The Official Feed of the USEA,” Parker Equine Insurance “The Official Equine Insurance of the USEA,” Merck Animal Health “The Official Animal Health Provider of the USEA," Charles Owen “The Official Riding Helmet of the USEA,” SmartPak "The Official Supplement Feeding System of the USEA,” and Mountain Horse “The Official Outerwear of the USEA.”

In addition to the Corporate Level Sponsors, many sponsors came together to support the 2018 USEA Annual Meeting & Convention and helped members and attendees enjoy the week in the city of Mardi Gras.

Nunn Finer stepped up as the new Overall Leaderboard Sponsor for the USEA for 2019 and has offered a five percent discount to all USEA members placing orders on NunnFiner.com and BitofBritain.com. For the individual leaderboards, World Equestrian Brands sponsored the Rider of the Year, Devoucoux sponsored the Lady Rider of the Year and Mare of the Year, RevitaVet sponsored the Young Rider of the Year, D.G. Stackhouse and Ellis Saddles sponsored the Adult Amateur of the Year, SmartPak sponsored the Stallion of the Year, and Sunsprite Warmbloods sponsored the Volunteer of the Year. Thank you to all of these leaderboard sponsors who graciously provided cash and/or prizes to the year end winners!

Rebecca Farm has supported the USEA Convention over the years and graciously provided the continental breakfast each morning for attendees. Their loyalty to the sport and generosity through the years has been sincerely appreciated by the USEA and its members. The continental breakfast was also sponsored in part this year by Daniel Stewart of Equestrian Athlete Camps held at the U.S. Olympic Training Center. Daniel Stewart also hosted a seminar on Equestrian Fitness and Focus at Convention.
