Lexington, KY (February 12, 2019) - The United States Dressage Federation™ (USDF) is pleased to announce Big Dee's Tack & Vet Supply as presenting sponsor of the USDF Regional Adult Amateur Equitation Finals. As part of their sponsorship, Big Dee's will be providing champions at each of the nine events with a $100 gift certificate, reserve champions a $75 gift certificate, and third place finishers a $50 gift certificate.

USDF Regional Adult Amateur Equitation Finals events, held in conjunction with each of the nine regional championship competitions, serve as the culmination of the USDF Regional Adult Amateur Equitation Program, which was designed to recognize adult amateurs competing in equitation, and to promote correct seat, position, and use of aids in dressage.  Competitors qualify to compete in these final events by earning a 70% or higher in any Dressage Seat Equitation class (except walk-trot), or by qualifying for the Great American/USDF Regional Championships in a non-freestyle class. 

According to owner Brenda Miavitz, "Big Dee's is thrilled to partner with the USDF in support of the Regional Adult Amateur Equitation Finals. We understand how horse health and care, as well as rider apparel, tack, and stable supplies are some of the biggest factors in horse ownership. This partnership allows us to directly help the very riders, trainers, and horses we love to cheer on!"

USDF Executive Director Stephan Hienzsch added that "as a long time Hospitality Sponsor of the US Dressage Finals, we are thrilled to expand our relationship with Big Dee's Tack & Vet Supply to include the USDF Regional Adult Amateur Equitation Finals. USDF is always looking for new opportunities to support and recognize our adult amateurs, and the generous support of sponsors like Big Dee's helps us do that."
