USEA sponsor John Nunn of Bit of Britain Saddlery and Nunn Finer has generously provided eventers with an incredible deal… free cross-country course walks at events all across the country with four-star level riders. Did you catch that? Free course walks with Olympians…at YOUR event! These guys will take the time to walk the courses with groups of competitors, giving tips on safety, discussing different routes and options as well as course design and construction. These freebies are way too cool to pass up, with top-notch riders such as Gina Miles, Boyd Martin, Kim Severson, Dorothy Crowell, Carol Kozlowski, Amy Tryon, Nadeem Noon, Ashley MacVaugh, Bonnie Mosser, Wendy Lewis, and Will Faudree leading you on your walk, you’re sure to pick up some valuable tips. Think of it as a free lesson! Take a peek at the coursewalk flyer (located on the Bit of Britain website, under Course Walks on the left-hand side) to see if they’ll be attending any of your events this season, then gather your fellow competitors and meet at the start box (check with show management to find out exact details). See you there!
