The United States Eventing Association (USEA) is excited to announce the continued partnership with Nutrena® Feeds for the next three years. Nutrena Feeds will return as the “Official Feed of the USEA.” Nutrena Feeds will also return as the “Presenting Sponsor of the USEA American Eventing Championships” (AEC) for 2022, 2023, and 2024. The 2022 AEC will take place from August 30 to September 4 at Rebecca Farm in Kalispell, Montana. In 2023 and 2024, the AEC will move back to the Kentucky Horse Park in Lexington, Kentucky.

“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.'”

Alliston’s Busy Weekend, Braitling’s Reuniting with Five-Star Mount, & Kalkman’s Advanced Victory Highlight Twin Rivers Summer H.T.

As he was finishing tacking up his horse in preparation to navigate the cross-country course at the 2024 Twin Rivers Summer Horse Trials, James Alliston expressed concern about navigating the 101 Freeway. That’s because as soon as he crossed the finish line aboard Intermediate level winner Addyson (Ampere x Nickerbocker) at 10:38 a.m. on Saturday—his fifth cross-country round of the morning with three at Preliminary and two at Intermediate—the West Coast-based five-star rider had to drive 185 miles on the 101 Freeway from Twin Rivers Ranch in Paso Robles, California, to San Francisco International Airport to catch a 4:35 p.m. flight to Frankfurt, Germany.
