Lexington, KY (January 30, 2014) - The United Stated Dressage Federation (USDF) announced today that Standlee Hay has signed on as the newest USDF corporate sponsor.  In addition to being the Official Forage Sponsor of the USDF, Standlee is also a supporting sponsor of the Adequan/USDF Annual Convention and the US Dressage Finals presented by Adequan. 

“We are thrilled to be associated with Standlee Hay and its quality products as our newest corporate partner.  Their support of the US Dressage Finals, a showcase national championship event for dressage, and their support of the organization's annual convention, will assist in assuring these premier events continued success.  Without the support of partners like Standlee, USDF would not be able to provide its many competition, education, and other programs in support of the dressage community,” comments USDF Executive Director Stephan Hienzsch.

Standlee Hay is proud to sponsor the UDSF and all its competitors and equine athletes.”
