Lexington, KY – In cooperation with the Las Vegas World Invitational, one of the world’s premier show jumping events for 2005, the United States Equestrian Federation (USEF) has arranged for a portion of select ticket sales to benefit U.S. teams and athletes in their quest to compete in the 2006 World Equestrian Games in Aachen, Germany.

When USEF members call or log online to order tickets, a reference to the code “USEF,” will ensure that 5% of each ticket sale will help fund our U.S. athletes.

The Las Vegas World Invitational will host the world’s top 25 show jumpers, competing for $1 million in prize money, at the Thomas and Mack Center, October 14-15. It is the only competition in the United States to bear the FEI-designated CSI 5* rating in 2005, and is one of only ten competitions worldwide to share the rating this year.
