Lexington, KY — August 16, 2016 — The United States Hunter Jumper Association is pleased to announce CWD as a 2016 Contributing Sponsor that will become the Official Saddle of the USHJA for 2017-2020.

“We’re excited to have CWD on board as a sponsor and the Official Saddle of the USHJA beginning next year,” said Kevin Price, executive director of the USHJA. “We look forward to a great relationship over the next four and a half years.”

CWD is a sport saddle maker, primarily known for innovation for the welfare of horses and performance or riders. Ten years ago, the company spent more than $2 million to develop its dynamic tree that aims to provide the perfect mix of flex and pressure distribution for the horse’s comfort. Since then, the company has launched the “mademoiselle” saddle-the first hunter/jumper saddle developed specifically for the female rider. CWD’s commitment to high-quality leather and a vegetable tanning process sets their saddles apart in longevity.

“We’re extremely excited to partner for the long term with USHJA as the official and exclusive saddle sponsor,” said Bertrand Pelletier, chief executive officer of CWD USA. “We recognize the USHJA’s commitment to and positive steps toward education and ensuring horse welfare. This sponsorship is a perfect match of values and love of our sport and horses.”

CWD joins USHJA contributing sponsors in 2016 — Nightwatch™, Perfect Products and Visse Wedell.
