“On behalf of Cargill and our Nutrena Equine family, we are very excited to extend our long-standing relationship with the United States Eventing Association,” said Russell Mueller, Strategic Marketing Manager, CAN North America. “The speed, grace, endurance, and sheer will that eventing riders and horses demonstrate every time they compete is a perfect match for the Nutrena family of products.”
Since 1921, Nutrena Feeds has been developing the latest innovations in the care and feeding of animals. Their feed isn’t just grown, it’s crafted. Real science goes into putting the nutrients animals need into each Nutrena feed product.
“The success of the AEC wouldn’t be possible without the support of Nutrena. We have partnered with Nutrena for over 16 years, and we are thrilled to continue the partnership for the next three years,” said USEA CEO Rob Burk. “Made with the highest quality ingredients, Nutrena’s horse feed is used by eventers at every level of the sport. We are very proud to call Nutrena Feeds the “Official Feed of the USEA.'”
