Lexington, KY With great success and continued growth in the program over the last two years SmartPak™ will once again be the title sponsor of the FEI North American Young Rider Reining Championship at the Adequan FEI North American Junior/Young Rider Championships presented by Gotham North. SmartPak has been an outstanding supporter of equestrian sport at many levels and also serves as the “Official Tack and Equipment Supplier” to the USEF.

The championships will feature the best Reiners, ages 16-21, vying for team and individual FEI medals at the Kentucky Horse Park July 28-August 1. Reining was added to the Championships in 2008 and continues to grow in numbers and popularity each year. Held in the same venue that will be used for the Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games in September, the best Reining Young riders will have an opportunity to showcase their skills in a world-class arena.

“We are so proud to be supporting the 2010 Adequan FEI North American Young Rider Reining Championships again this year, said Colby Balazs, Vice President of Marketing for SmartPak. These young riders represent the future of our sport and SmartPak is committed to supporting their hard work and dedication within the equestrian community."
