Each class will be run under the lights in the Grand Prix Arena as the feature event of its respective week.
“U.S. Bank is making its mark on the sports world, as are we, so it feels like a natural fit to have them on board as a Gold Sponsor,” remarked Steve Hankin, President and CEO of DIHP. “We admire their initiatives across all sports and we hope this partnership not only elevates the equestrian world but helps to bridge gaps between all sports.”
