Merial, the makers of ULCERGARD, the only proven prevention for equine stomach ulcers, announces the sponsorship of Nick Haness, a 17-year-old rider/jumper who competes in Class A jumping events. Haness is receiving a $20,000 sponsorship, which will allow him to compete in the horse-jumping circuit and participate in an upcoming documentary scheduled to air this spring on The Learning Channel.

The USEA is proud to announce that Merial, the makers of ULCERGARD, has signed a three-year contract as the "Official Equine Stomach Ulcer Product of the USEA" and Contributing Sponsor of both the American Eventing Championships and the Adequan USEA Gold Cup Series. Through this partnership, the USEA acknowledges that ULCERGARD is the only FDA- approved product for preventing stomach ulcers in horses, and recognizes its value in helping to maintain the health of performance horses. "The USEA is thrilled to partner with ULCERGARD," said USEA Chief Executive Officer, Jo Whitehouse. "As eventers, our horses' health and comfort are the top priority, and considering the stressful lives they experience, especially during the competition season, ulcers are a definite concern."
