USEA and Ride EquiSafe Team Up for the 2023 AEC
The United States Eventing Association, Inc. (USEA) is excited to announce Ride EquiSafe as an “Official Bronze Level Sponsor” of the 2023 USEA American Eventing Championships, presented by Nutrena Feeds, which take place this Aug. 29—Sept. 3 at the Kentucky Horse Park in Lexington, Kentucky. Ride EquiSafe will provide $100 gift certificates to be distributed across all 24 championship divisions, and they will have a storefront in Sponsor Village for attendees to shop their superior line of equestrian rider safety equipment and luxury apparel.
“Ride EquiSafe is proud to be a safety partner and sponsor of the 2023 USEA American Eventing Championships,” said Catherine Winter, owner of Ride EquiSafe. “Offering the broadest selection of equestrian safety equipment in North America, Ride EquiSafe is passionate about keeping you simultaneously safe and stylish in the saddle.”
Ride Equisafe is not your average tack store. At Ride Equisafe, you will find the largest selection of air vests, body protectors, and safety stirrups, helping to achieve their goal of serving as a destination for all things safety, eliminating the need for visits to multiple tack stores or websites to shop and compare. Ride EquiSafe only carries products they believe in, and all of their state-of-the-art products boast the latest technology and certifications. If you’re in the market for safety equipment, Ride EquiSafe has many ways to interact with their products to ensure that you find the right products with the appropriate. Ride EquiSafe offers in person and virtual fitting appointments, as well as a concierge service which can be requested for a barn or home call, and they travel to a wide variety of equestrian events with their mobile shop. Recently, Winter was a guest on the USEA Official Podcast to discuss helmet safety with host Nicole Brown and Dr. Barry Miller of the Virginia Tech Helmet Lab. Listen to the episode here to learn more about Ride EquiSafe’s contributions to this safety initiative.

Education
Saddle Fit Simplified
Eventers who are new to the sport may feel a little overwhelmed by the often-misunderstood world of saddle fitting. Riders are often bombarded with information from peers online or self-described experts, putting them at risk of following bad advice related to equipment that impacts horse welfare perhaps more than any other piece of tack. Finding a qualified expert to answer these questions is crucial. Who better to turn to than both a qualified Master Saddle Fitter and a fourth-generation saddle designer to answer some of these questions?
