VTO Saddlery To Be Official Sponsor of the 2010 AEC Novice Division
The USEA is delighted to welcome VTO Saddlery into our family of sponsors. VTO will partner with the USEA to become the official sponsor of the Novice Divisions at the 2010 USEA American Eventing Championships. The VTO Saddlery Novice Division is sure to be an exciting competition chock full of prizes for the winners.
VTO Saddlery is a family-owned business located in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia. In January, VTO celebrated its ten-year anniversary. VTO’s focus from the beginning has been on Eventing and Dressage, not only because of their personal love of eventing, but also because they felt that the specific needs of eventers were underserved by typical tack shops. VTO serves a large portion of their customers via their website, www.vtosaddlery.com. Their 15,000 square foot store serves as a warehouse and showroom for local customers, and as a base of operations for VTO’s mobile tack services.
“We are very excited about this sponsorship,” said Beth Arnold, owner of VTO Saddlery. “VTO has always been a supporter of horse trials and local combined training associations both in Area II and in our previous location in Area V. This sponsorship gives us a chance to share our enthusiasm for eventing with an even wider audience. When we heard that there was an opportunity to sponsor the Novice Division at the AECs, we knew this was a perfect fit for us. We believe Novice riders represent the grassroots of our sport. The AECs provide riders at all levels a chance to compete with the best at their level from across the country, and - for a select few - a chance to say that they are America's best. We are thrilled to lend our support to this premier event and to those competitors at every level who strive to be the best.”
This year’s USEA AECs are being held from September 9-12 at Chattahoochee Hills in Fairburn, Georgia. For more information on the event check the AEC page on the USEA website or the Chattahoochee Hills site. Be sure to look for VTO at the event and check out their great booth!
