Two Classic Three-Day Event Winners Awarded Stackhouse Saddles
Elisa Wallace was the lucky recipient of a Stackhouse saddle after her win at one of the four classic-format Preliminary Three-Day Events held across the nation this season. One winner was drawn at random out of the four champions to receive this prestigious gift. Stackhouse Saddles also awarded a saddle to a winner of the SmartPak Equine/USEA Training Three-Day Event Series this year—Kelsey Briggs and The Gentleman Pirate were the fortuitous recipients. If galloping over steeplechase fences isn’t incentive enough to participate in the Classic Format Series, then this gives riders one more exciting reason to take part in a long-format event. Thank you to Stackhouse Saddles for this generous contribution!

Sadly, ‘Goody’ was recently euthanized after colic complications, just days after his big win at the Kentucky Horse Park. Read more about the Wallace and Goody here.)
