In 2015, the U.S. Dressage Festival of Champions presented by The Dutta Corp. will be split between two competitions. The Pony Rider, Junior, Young Rider, and Young Adult 'Brentina Cup' Championships will run in conjunction with the Markel/USEF Young and Developing Horse Dressage National Championships at the Lamplight Equestrian Center, August 19-23, while the Grand Prix and Intermediaire I Championships will be held at the Adequan Global Dressage Festival grounds on December 9-13. The Dutta Corp. Fair Hill International Festival in the Country will be held October 15-18 in Elkton, Md.

"The Dutta Corporation has been an outstanding partner as the Official Shipper for the U.S. Dressage and Eventing Teams," said Chris Welton, USEF CEO. "The Dutta Corp.'s commitment to not only continue partnership, but to support several competitions, as well, is not only great news for those events, but for all fans of equestrian sports."

In addition to sponsorship, The Dutta Corp. will provide international travel for two dressage horses and one eventing horse each year for the 2015 through 2018 competition years. Shipping for the horses will be awarded by the USEF Dressage Committee and the USEF Eventing Committee based on which combinations the committees believes will benefit most from European exposure.

"We know that is a great responsibility to ensure our country's finest equine athletes arrive safe and sound to their competitions, but it is a responsibility we look forward to handling with world-class service.
