US Equestrian has announced an expansion of its partnership with LeMieux, effective from 2026. The British brand will become the official saddle pad supplier for the U.S. dressage, eventing, jumping, and para dressage teams, as well as the official horse blanket supplier for all US Equestrian teams. LeMieux will continue providing official horse boots and ear bonnets.
The announcement, made from Lexington, Kentucky, highlights LeMieux's growing role in supporting American equestrian athletes. Renowned for its craftsmanship and horse-centered designs, LeMieux emphasizes comfort, durability, and functionality in its products, which are trusted by riders at all levels. These items aim to ensure equine athletes perform at their best while protected.
The new collection will debut during Wellington International Week 8, allowing athletes at the Wellington Jumping Nations Cup CSIO4* to view the items. LeMieux's support extends to international competitions and US Equestrian's national events. Upcoming championships include the USEF Pony Finals, presented by Marshall + Sterling, held August 4–9 at the Kentucky Horse Park. This event features top ponies and young athletes in hunter/jumper disciplines, such as the Regular and Green Pony Finals, Marshall + Sterling/USEF Pony Medal Final, and USEF Pony Jumper National Championship.
The U.S. Dressage Festival of Champions is scheduled for August 24–30 at HITS Lamplight, showcasing leading dressage combinations across 17 divisions, including the Adequan/USEF Para Dressage National Championships. The USEF Show Jumping Talent Search Program concludes with the East Coast Final on October 2–4 at USET Headquarters and the West Coast Final on December 2–6 in Thermal, California.
