The United States Equestrian Federation (USEF) welcomes SmartPak Equine as the presenting sponsor of USEF Network, the Federation's multi-media platform featuring live and on-demand video, news, photography, competition information and select coverage from shows and events across the country.
"We are positively thrilled to be partnering with U.S. Equestrian Federation to help grow the already successful USEF Network," said Colby Balazs, SmartPak Vice President of Marketing. "The USEF Network has quickly become America's destination for high definition coverage of the nation's biggest equestrian events."
USEF Chief Executive Officer John Long said, "We couldn't be more excited to have SmartPak as the sponsor of USEF Network. This goes well with their position as the official tack and equipment supplier to our Federation. SmartPak products are recognized for their quality across all disciplines, making their sponsorship of the USEF Network a perfect fit."
Since its inception in August 2010, more than 2 million visitors have viewed more than 7 million USEF Network pages and nearly 2 million video plays.
"The Network is truly the only one-stop shop to watch equestrian sports across all of the major disciplines 24/7," Balazs said. "Whereas you used to have to buy a plane ticket and travel the world to see all of these events, the USEF Network brings you all of the action right to the comfort of your own home."
In addition, the Network represents the next evolution of social media in the equestrian space, Balazs added. "As a company with more than 170,000 Facebook Fans, we recognize the importance of building a strong equestrian community and are proud to partner with USEF on this extraordinary endeavor," she said.
