Land Rover Official Sponsor of Eventing Championships

"We are thrilled to have Land Rover as the official vehicle sponsor for the Nutrena USEA American Eventing Championships for the second year in a row," stated Carl Bouckaert, Landowner and Honorary Chairman, Chattahoochee Hills Eventing AEC Operations. "Having the Land Rover ride-and- drive amplifies the guest experience at this prestigious event and we are grateful for the opportunity to welcome them back to Chattahoochee Hills Eventing at Bouckaert Farm."

“Land Rover's sponsorship of the USEA American Eventing Championships last year was a tremendous success and we’re excited to continue our support of this special event and the U.S. Eventing Team," said Kim McCullough, Brand Vice President, Marketing, Land Rover North America. "The nature of the three-day event competition requires a horse and rider combination to excel in more than one discipline and we feel that this diversity aligns itself with the multi-faceted use of a Land Rover both on-and off-road."

"The USEA is honored to have Land Rover as the official vehicle sponsor of our American Eventing Championships. The Land Rover brand is synonymous with quality and is very fitting for the high caliber of competition that will be held at the Chattahoochee Hills venue this year, " said Jo Whitehouse, CEO, USEA. “Land Rover has a long tradition of supporting the sport of eventing in Great Britain and we are delighted that are returning this year and again have chosen to align themselves with our event."

Now in its eighth year, the popular Nutrena USEA American Eventing Championships offers qualified USEA members of all ages and levels the chance to compete in the only national championships of its kind in the United States. Each September, hundreds of juniors, adult amateurs, and professionals travel from all across the nation to participate in this prestigious competition, vying for the chance to win a piece of $100,000 in prize money and $50,000 in fabulous prizes. Competitors range from junior Beginner Novice riders to Preliminary adult amateurs and Olympians such as Leslie Law, Phillip Dutton, and Karen O’Connor.
